Very nice but just looking at the wheels and shouldn't the single red spoke be at the valve to show where the valve is? Maybe I'm wrong but I thought that was the purpose of the single outstanding coloured spoke?

I don't get this - you can hardly change the position of the valve or the position of the red spoke!?

You can change the position of the red spoke. Whoever built the wheel should probably have put it there

Its normally three spokes from the valve (on an old set I have anyway) - same location as these wheels

I take issue with the fact that the image is of a Chinese knock off version!

Hmmzis

That gearing is actually not as low as you get on any 9-10sp mtb out there. The inner ring on a standard mtb triple chainset is just 22t, and that's usually coupled with a 32t or even a 36t rear sprocket.

I'm assuming the 30/42 combo is a solution for a 1x11 system, the gaps between the gears must be brutal but you don't have the hassle of a FD.

I like and want everything about this bike except the Ferarri badge.

I'm torn. Is that a reflection on the bottom of a weirdly shaped top tube or is it a cable outer running perfectly straight underneath a nicely curved top tube ruining the lines?

It's a bow string. :-)

that's a lot of strings for your bow!

My new bike. Hope it classes as an 'image of beauty'!

Still to change the bottle cage, drop the stem around another 5/10mm and the a Barfly for my Garmin and the Di2 junction box (hence the temp cable tie job)

Oooh :P Green tape and green pedals, to match the club gear. Everything else is black-ish

I support the green bartape. I think it pops nicely.

I'm not into stunt bikes but I can appreciate it for what it is. I also have huge respect for the skills that their riders are capable of. Why no front brakes though? Surely stoppies and the like would be impossible without them.

Was that you cycling between Terenure and Rathgar earlier? Couldn't get a definitive look at the bike at the lights in Rathgar - if not you it was a similar one anyway! Beautiful bike.

Last thing to do is change the shifters but they will do for now

Well its something like 2009 since I posted in this thread, so anyway I replaced my old run around with this new run around.. Looking at the images of beauty in this thread my bike ain't gonna make anyone's day but I only commute (40km round trip per day) & used my bike for extra training for judo.





I like the wavy disc's, I have some on my motorbike too



The pie plate and spoke reflectors have been taken off of course

Wasn't me! Only had the bike out on the road once since it was built. Have to tune in the position so it's going on the turbo this afternoon and getting adjusted
