'96 Marin Monocoque (purists beware! ;-) )

Also.. really just out of interest (as I run a 1x10 on my P7, and I spent ages trying to get the optimum range for my legs and peak district hills)

How many teeth on that chainring?

32 in total. Which works very well in the low countries, but my LTHT (for use in Belgium, Vosges and Alpes) has a Hope 30t up front and a 40t expander in the back.

Ooooh, where's the 'Like' button! I love this bike, and the moody arty corrugated iron shots (especially the first one).

Good work sir, vee nice.

 

[suravida]

Thanks! The corrugated iron is actually sandblasted concrete under a viaduct, but I can understand the confusion. Nice thing of this spot is the background and the fact that this filtered light is coming from above. When finished I'll try to make some proper photos with the SLR. (and my phone)

Got some bits in:

Tomorrow I'll get the Syncros seatpost and then I'll immediatly leave for a bikeless holiday, so the maiden voyage had to wait a bit. :-(

 

[fjpshaw]

Yep, I'm a fan of this one! The red trick bits look the absolute nuts, and not overdone. I think I might agree with a previous comment about having no decals, but it looks like you know what you're doing so I'll shut my mouth on that one.

What are those brake levers?

Oh, and dibs for when you come to sell...

 

[suravida]

Brakes are Magura HS33 10th Anniversary, in my humble opinion the most beautiful type. ;-) Braided hoses, CNCed levers and carbon boosters.

That looks fantastic! Always fancied one of those - remember seeing one cruising along Southsea promenade back in the day Very reminiscent of the Intense Tazer HT too.

Funny, the noise thing. I've owned several (four actually ) Tazer FS frames and they all had different noise levels - I think related to the amount or lack of BB shell machining - some were very open to the main tubes whilst others had just a small hole drilled. I'll get my anorak

I'll try to make some photos while I am changing it to 1x9. Love your bike! Spinergys are a really nice match for this frame, too bad they are or too expensive or often damaged.
