Do what you do, but I'm quite looking forward to riding it 😉
Cheers.
Looks lovely that, Martin. Maybe a black stem?
I was thinking it needs a silver seatpost. 😀
Otherwise. Lovely.
The wheels must be big cos they don't fit in the picture!
Ti? What fork?
I thought that too, looking for a 80mm Thomson at sensible money 😉
😉 Blacksheep.
Nice looking bike.

Change the stem for something slammed and long and you've got a nice ride there 😀
Enjoy that, it's quite lovely.
Kent Eriksen seat post would look grand.
Looks smart; definitely bargain. Needs a Fizik bar and stem and some different cranks though.
[i]too embarrassed to ask what it is[/i]
Looks lovely. Very understated but in a cool way.
Do you mind me asking how much it cost you? All in, including re-pointing wall, stain for fence, new gravel and time spent weeding.
the wall is beautifully pointed and there is not a weed in sight
Sterling effort
Silver finishing kit will clash with the frame, the colours are close but slightly different which looks awkward. I would go for a black stem rather than a silver seatpost.
I debated about putting the Middleburn's on with a Ti square taper BB, but it would only be marginally lighter & a whole lot less stiff, but aesthetically...
jimoiseau, £50k approx, money well spent!
Looks like a nice ride!
If you go silver, I reckon you need to go all in - bars, post, cranks, rims, hubs... brakes? skinwall tyres, cream/buff/white(will dirty to cream/buff) saddle and grips.
Or just change the stem to a black one. Keep the silver headset and seatpost collsr, though. Black would interrupt the fork/frame.
Can you get Ti headsets? Chris King?
red pins on the pedals?
Got a lovely clean look.
Bet you can't wait to get out on it? !
Quickly nedrapier, the pins match the BB, the RS7"s are calling.
Pegasus are lovely, would only benefit from being able to get a wider tyre in the back
Spot the difference!

Cheers.
Is it cracked yet?
😛
Do they crack? When I was looking I never found anything about them cracking? I'm sure it will be fine 😆
TBH I'd be more worried about the Blacksheep fork...
Is that frame Jase's old one?
I bought it from Aus & he was the only owner as far as I know.
Cheers.
I was this >.< close to buying that, bu no one wanted my el-mariachi as what I thought was a bargain price and I couldn't justify 2 SS's however nice it is.
Do they crack?
Around the BB/downtube weld. They're welded in a argon filled chamber, which is theoretically great for achieving zero contamination, but presumably lead to ergonomic issues and less than perfect welds.
I was banking on it being a good one as it's 2nd hand and if it was going to fail would already have gone.
Love it. Needs a Ti stem tho.
Around the BB/downtube weld.
And also on the seatstay/seatube juncion. 😐
