Furbz Posted July 29, 2022 Share Wiring this was a nightmare. Had to ditch the campy method and improvise a little as getting the wiring through the bars proved impossible. Edited July 29, 2022 by Furbz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just giving you stick because I'm jealous. That frame is my dream. The chewing gum twang of the Ti should hit the sweetspot in exactly what you're looking for with the responsive, freight train wheels. It's so sick. (I'm eyeing out that Chewbacca frame in the classifieds too... you're just dangling temptation everywhere!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne pudding Mol Posted July 30, 2022 Share I’ll be controversial and critical of what is an almost perfect bike at this level and pricing it could do with a piece of art badge on the headtube needs a brown saddle or black bar tape but this is just nitpicking a gorgeous bike DieselnDust, Sid the Sloth and capediver 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleedToWin Posted August 1, 2022 Share I'll throw some critique your way that you will have to address. Your back tire is fitted backwards. #yesitmatters Edited August 1, 2022 by bleedToWin DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
