    No. You can't take a frame like that and put white wcs finishing kit on it. It's just wrong. Also, a rotor crank and Sram? SRAM?! Why the f**k did anyone think that that would be ok?!

    If that had been black or silver finishing kit, a silver campag athena group and handbuilt wheels, you'd be talking. But it's not.

    It's not ok. He's ruined it.

    Well played. I can't argue with that.

    I can, however, strongly disagree.

    If it was mine I'd stick white tyres on it. Sorted.

    Looks more like a match of a Cardiff saddle and bartape.

    Actually, turns out it's the BLB Mosquito. Although it and the Cardiff one are basically versions of the Brooks Swallow.

    Are you getting angry at someone trying to answer your question? 'Turns out' as in I went back and looked at his post where he specifically says what the saddle is.

    Apologies. I read it in an angry voice for some reason, not really sure why :)

    Anyhow, the OP didn't mention what the bar tape is. I don't know if BLB do a line of leather bar tape but since most of the stuff on the bike came from them it's possible.
