Built this up as a B’day present for Ms HLC to get her off her clunker draft SE lite.
Frame/Fork/headset: Colossi Cheeko Satin fluro pink with dual bidon mounts / Colossi Carbon alloy satin black / Neco sealed bearing
Cranks / BB / Pedals: Sram Omnom / GXP / BMX flats
Wheels: H+Son TB14 / Hoshi double butted spokes / Formula hubs / Conti 25c’s
Chain / Freewheel: KMC / Shimano
Bars / Stem: Scottykent riz0rz / Deda
Brakes: Tektro levers / Campag Veloce Dual pivots
Saddle / Post: Selle Italia / Thomson knock-off.
Other: BB bidon cages.
The colour is absolutely MENTAL. Blurs in every photo in natural light! Need a better camera/place to take photos.
Anyway, just took it for a 30k maiden voyage. She loves it. Thanks Gypsy for organising frameset / cranks / rims. More than one smile around the house tonight!
Love it. I’ve been foaming over this paint many a day in GEAR, tizz all that.
This is sweet, I want one!

My retinas can confirm brightness. Good to see it together without any naff coloured parts.
Looks rad.

It has a 75 and 76 degree head/seattube angle, so reasonably steep. Has more BB drop than both my NJS and Planet X track bikes. I would say it’s more ‘tarck’ than track, but it would be completely fine on the boards, and Ms HLC want’s to take it down to the track one day.

Nice, didn’t know those cheekos came with bottle cage mounts. The colour is very magenta-ish and looks kinda dirty cos your eyes can’t quite take it all in!

Looks good Henri. She scored big time! Tb14’s and Omniums…
None of my stock frames have them, but if you ask nicely and place an order with me they are an option.
Just landed my restock in these frames. So if anyone is interested hit me up.
So pink, so coordinated. Is rad.

Interesting… tarck bikes so need the ability to carry liquids.

Otherwise saddle mounted cages work good. Especially for fixed. Never been a fan of reaching between my legs when constantly pedaling.
