I'm thinking your right about the big ring staying as it is. The wife doesn't like the forks. perhaps get painted black??

Certainly has a more universal appeal that my beloved T

Can't wait to ride now

:shock: now theirs an idea very bling

The flash on the Canon makes the big ring look to gold :roll: The forks did come off a vintage Hei Hei.

It's a shame my vintage carbon flite couldn't fit the post rails.

is it just the rail spacing?

you just need a seat cradle with the correct spacing if so .

I wish. rail spacing correct. But i've been busy with that modern seat. They said its 135 grams but it weighed 151. So i've removed all the padding and the leather ready to recover with some carbon/kevlar i was kindly given for the repair of my carbon flite. Have some left over. It looks the dogs nuts once stuck and lacquered
Once complete the seat will weigh 120 grams but no padding

Um. Your scales say 17.28lb, not 17lb 2.8oz. 17.28lb is 17lb 4.5oz.

just re-discovered this thread, nice bike (and nice weight) looks like you will be below 17 Ibs soon.

How much did you pay for the exustar ti pedals if you don't mind me asking?
