The gap behind the lever? That’s fast, nothing wrong with a little gap where the bartape ain’t needed.
Supercaz tapes arent long enough for me to figure eight - need every bit of usable tape
This.
You don’t need to cut the cable super short after it exits the brake/FD/RD and its technically less function but you do it anyway cause its neat.
Small price to pay though for super comfy, gripy and great looking tape… i wont run anything else
Could of run black and you’d have never noticed the gap.
The rest of the bike is incredible though orgasm emoji
banger of a bike m8
re: tape - it didnt come with that little rectangle bit you stick on to cover that spot?
ugh
let the man enjoy his bike! 
lel
Wait wasn’t internet created for faceless ridicule?
Bang on, Lorday.
EDIT: bike is ok…I guess… shoegazing feet shuffles
You guys don’t get it, This is shirts he has never had a bike with matching wheels and matching group.
This thing is hot
You have changed N8
I have one of these, it’s fekn good fun.
I couldn’t be arsed cabling it and the wrench at the shop said he couldn’t believe how fun the thing was on the street when we went for a test run.
And cheers Dayne! Yeah actually put a decent bit of thought into what I wanted, what would work best and something that’d look cool instead of just raising the parts bin and/or grabbing whatever’s on sale. Main motivation was I needed a roadie with normal gearing for hills and other fun. The pearlescent paint looks heaps better in the flesh too
I can’t believe you’re not running 55/11 up the 1 in 20. You have changed!
haha mate - until this bike, I’ve been riding in the Dandenongs with a 46t small ring. 1 in 20 is obs piss easy and most of the other usual climbs aren’t too bad but it’s all the little fun quiet back roads that have been fuked with that gearing. Even stopped for a breather on one of them recently - so yeah, have likely changed given that reality…
Really trying to get the work thing settled to a point where I can train like I used to and get back to fitness but it’s not really working well at all. In a commercial role now that involves a lot of breakfast meetings book-ended with evening gigs and have to travel a shit load unfortunately so regime and consistency is unachievable. Just can’t get any consistent rhythm or load which inevitably and quite frequently just leads to injury with a driven personality like mine… Someone mused the other day (and not just in a cycling sense) that I should put a post-it note on the back of my apartment door for a reminder as I leave for the day that reads ‘slow down cvnt’… its not who I am but there’s a truth/lesson in there
Finally built this rocket ship up
Mods: someone’s hacked Pete’s account.
