love it
well fuck, I am as hard as a diamond in an ice storm…
Picked this bad boy up yesterday.
Initial impressions are that the downtube is fat, I need a zero setback post, and some 170mm cranks instead of the 172.5’s.
It makes loud whooshy noises and I can climb hills seated in the big ring because it doesn’t squirm around. Ace!
Siiiiiick!
Fuck yeh Rhys. #TRexFit
So many great bikes in this thread!
Sweet rig Rhys, see it in da morning hey…
approved, welcome to the club =D
Very very nice!
banger!
It’s okay I guess…
Fucken ace
Just finished sticking this together and painting it. Haven’t decided on a groupset yet, but am leaning towards some lower end Campy lovin, mainly for their predominately black parts.
Shit I did:
Bonded all carbon tubes and dropouts together
Sanded and filed those back.
Drilled and riveted front derailleur clamp
Drilled and set water bottle bosses
Drilled custom internal cable routing
3D printed custom rear brake boss
3D printed cable stop for front derailleur cable
Masked and handpainted the colour stripes with enamel paint
Flat black enamel spray followed by 3 coats of gloss enamel spray.
Hoping to get her built up for the Festive 500!

Looks awesome. So you made the frame from scratch?
Almost. I was gifted the tubes and lugs which had already been designed and moulded. From scratch would involve making those moulds and laying up the carbon in my book 
wow. this is very cool. I would love to take on something like this one day, but my skills/patience aren’t adequate.
Hells to the yeah - interested to hear how it rides. Were the tubes pre-cut to a geo or did you cut them to your own geo?
Here she is all built up with parts mostly from my cross bike:
Took it for the maiden voyage yesterday. Rides beautifully, although she’s too small for me (I’ve even had to raise the bars to the very top of the stem since taking this pic). The tubes were pre-cut, so I couldn’t adjust the geometry. Them’s the breaks with a gift I guess.
We’ll I guess I now know where some of the shit from my shed ended up.
We’ll done chief…

Wow. Just wow !
