Anybody do custom headtube badges?

That's bloody gorgeous, loving the wishbone.

Could always etch your own out of copper plate, someone on one of the clunker threads made their own.

Black with the odd hint of orange would look spot on.

Re:

Paul was/is fantastic. Very personal and personable. We talked through my issues and ideas, and then he made suggestions until we arrived at a frame design and fork combo.

Just had a ride on the cooker and a think. Off to the shed to start the build. If anybody has any hints or tips I'm all ears. Not fitted hollowtech, 3x10 or discs or hydraulics before so will be interesting.

That's really nice.
Seems to have forgotten the canti mounts though?

I've not tried either, but look like a good prospect, without paying custom jewellery prices:

Re:

Very nice!!!

I'm currently working with Geoff Moorhouse on some badges, and he's been fantastic to deal with.

Just had tea. Next I thread the rear brake cable aftervremovingvthe lever. Wish me luck. Thinking hang bike by bars, calliper low and thread up down tube. Re fit lever.

Re:

HELP!

Front brake is fine. Rear - which end do I undo to thread it through the braze ons with a hope of not needing to bleed them?

Other than that, seem to be fiddly to set up front. Should I scrape paint off the mounts to give me room on that side as it's a tiny rub that rings on the stand.

Does this look right? Used the mount that came with.

BB went in fine.

Getting there. Better pics when it's finished.

Why does your fork have suckers? Is it an octopus?
