ok, update now that the bianchi is gone. everyone saw this on the weekend. 60's holdsworth mistral 55cm, reynolds 531 (relatively light), lovely wrap around seat stay, orig paint with touch-up, orig chrome rear end, campag triomph cranks, moustache bars, white san marco rolls.
rode it all night for the night ride and didn't rip a hole in my arse.

At least peterD will be able to do Superman seat-grabs a little easier.

Nice one DB! Is that a white chain? How impractical.

I've finally gone fixed and all I can say is fair play to anyone who runs w/o breaks!

@ murtle: yes, will have some pics of whip 3.0 up here once I've sourced some black Nitto bars and a BMX break.

@ DB: only pulling your chain (sorry, that's awful). Is there a respray on the horizon? sick bike anyways...

no respray, i like the distressed look. you don't notice as much in real life, the camera picks up the metallic in the paint!

Geez,

Now I know why Lucky7 kept saying I looked tired. Who needs paniers with eye bags like that.

Can you see my teeth chattering?

cheers peterd, paul from freshtripe is getting some white saddles as well ;)

architectom, so far (month or so) it's been fine, but it hasn't really seen water etc. as i said to mouse, if you normally keep your chain clean this is no different, just need to wipe the side with a rag.

new project :D , look at the clearance. colour is purple not blue.

fakenger or no, you really ought to drill a hole there if you plan to streetride. it would be a shame to switch forks (unless the replacement is a nice chromed pair or something).

don't ride w/out brakes, you'll increase the probability of injuring yourself/injure other people.

and if you crash into the back of me i will murder you really hard.

This is going to look f*cking ace!! The grey Oury's like Slamm's are going to look cool.... That clearance is great, some chrome drilled forks at BLB for about £30-£70, if u ever decide to put a brake back on
