Seat post clamp looks like a bit of drag

Job well done

Bwahaha dude that drag is the least of my problems

And with the clamp ....

 

 

 

 

Exactly how I pictured it and would have done it. Awesome Bigben ????

The donor bike, I have the full set of Stren carbon wheels

 

All those silver components looked OK on the black frame but maybe not so 'cool' on the white one?

 

I have a black RD so come on y'all I need:-

 

1) Black brake calipers

2) Black FD

3) Black cranks - don't need blades cause I'll still use the 'oblong' ones

 

I have white gear outer and getting brake outer today

 

Couldn't start last night as my other half had made 'plans' - hopefully tonight, doesn't take long though.

 

[NotSoBigBen]

Nothing

I took my silver crank arms and had them anodized black so that's an option ,I was toying with the idea of anodizing the brake calipers but was too much effort to strip them.

Where did you have them done and how much was it?

 

Would be cool, I may get some from my SiL though

 

Progress has been made but still lots of finishing off to be done .....

 

[NotSoBigBen]

Fashion advice guys .... should I leave the outers from bars to frame black rather and then make the on the frame ones white?

 

OK having looked at the bike in daylight there is actually so little on the frame and where it goes it makes sense to just make it black - pity cause I bought 2m's of white that is now of no use - anyone want it at a bargain price?

All black. Mix and match will be jarring.

And I just got an e-mail that makes this build worthwhile - Just need to get my legs sorted
