    It looks like the front QR is trying to get as far away from the groupset clash as possible. :pac:

    Think my hand slipped in distress. :o

    It's possible, that the bike will reject those wheels.
    OTOH, I matched Zondas with a Sram group set, and so far all is good.

    Its sitting on the fence at the moment. The next few days will be critical.

    New set of Zondas. The group is Shimano. Hmm...

    Your perfectly vertical brake levers make me happy.

    I don't know why.

    Lovely bike though!

    New Zondas
    New Ultegra 6800 groupset
    New Prologo Kappa EVO PAS
    New Zipp CX bar tape
    New Michelin Pro4 SC tyres
    New Vittoria latex tubes

    I know I've mixed Shimano groupset and Campag wheels and I'll go to hell for it but I don't care.

    Replaced brake pads, readjusted the canti's, did some spoke tensioning, retreated my saddle and handlebar tape. Didn't get out for a cycle.

    Finished building a H+ Son Archetype wheel set.

    Took the winter dynamo wheel and lights off.

    Mud guards are staying on though :-)

    Just got back from the lbs with my commuter, newly fitted with new cassette, chain and chainrings. It took a bit of a beating over winter, so delighted with the smooth smooth drivetrain!

    Last time I was there (before Christmas) I got a new back wheel and bar tape. Now I'm wishing the spokes had been silver instead of black :P

    While trying to make a Pizza last night, the tin foil yokie came out of the box and rolled across the kitchen floor.

    As a Cat owns us, I consider said excess tin foil contaminated.

    My other half HATES waste.

    I woke up to the following enhancements to my bike this morning...

    With a note telling me not to waste Tin foil...

    When she kills me, there will be no evidence that I even existed.

    :(


    "This", is what someone else did to my bike, today.

    Never EVER let a cat own you. That's how they win.
