openmind Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 anyone have a "cutting a fork" guide lying around?last i did this was 10 years ago and the frame came with a metal guide to ensure the cutting happened in a straight line. Lovely frame! Fork cutting guide:- measure twice, cut once- leave enough steerer to fit a 5mm spacer on top of your stem to make sure the stem clamps far enough below the top edge (for safety)- use a cutting guide, e.g. https://www.parktool.com/product/threadless-saw-guide-sg-6 or SG-8 to cut straight - use a high tooth-count saw blade (32tpi or more) or diamond tooth blade- don't breath the carbon dust - bad for you like asbestos fibres are bad for you- make sure you fit the steerer tube plug thingy just like the manufacturer says- use a torque wrench on the stem bolts Have fun!

Masking tape will keep the fibres and dust to almost nothing !

I’m also looking at getting those bars from sigma. They seem to be the cheapest at the moment
Furbz Posted October 10, 2017 Author Posted October 10, 2017 Thank you. I’m also looking at getting those bars from sigma. They seem to be the cheapest at the moment by a long shot the best price on the bars. i got quoted R4600 locally for them from the importer. R5k in cyclelab. i have a set on my Look 586.they are fantastically comfortable.it was an easy choice for me at to get a second set, esp at that price
Zeffer Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 And if I may ask... where did you order the frame from. Its gorgeous
