Black & Gold

[Mike Muz]

errrr ... isn't that "stud" on the chain ring meant to be behind the crank arm ?

Easily done judging by all those holes ! :shock:

It's still in the assembly stage & if you have bought Q rings the come with 2 pins 180 degs apart because of the OCP positions you can set the ring at. It will be removed once all built & tested.

Re:

Will the other pin be gold plated ?

 

[Nob]

Not totally finished as I think black handlebar tape would look better.........
Maybe change the saddle for a Cinelli VIP jobbie....
Bottle Cage & Bottle still to get & maybe a couple of fine tuning later the more I look at her....

Will need to change the front tyre as its round the wrong way :facepalm:

The original saddle that came with this frame

very nice! I wouldn't have done the cables like that myself though - either black or gold, but not both!

and what's with the red bits on the pedals?

 

[Nob]

Agree with the pedals but I'm a Time man & these were lying around.

Consensus is to go with black bar tape with gold bar end plugs & gold tape for the end wraps.

 

[foz]

I think the black tape would work better than the gold, which is too dull to match the real gold on the other bits!

very nice looking bike though!

Re:

Shame you can't get gold brake hoods. Would look good with black tape

Re:

Thanks guys as intend to agree about the black tape.

Should I amend the current brake cable pattern? More black less gold....
