it screams.. im better than you. but in the kindest way possible.
i love this thing
Posted over 10 years ago
defiantly like it better with the DA and HED vs the Shamals and Campy, although those black shamals you had would have looked nice
Posted over 10 years ago
How did you get the LA84s to work with the DA stem? Aren't the stems 26.0mm? Lovely bike though mate.

Are you ever going to try out clipless?
Posted over 12 years ago
I ride 90% of the time clipless. But the pedals don't fit the groupset! Plus everytime I go to take photos I'm riding round town.

Super fixie with those riser bars bro. :]
Posted over 12 years ago
Ha! Hip hop slave as. Waiting for my da stem to be rebuilt so I can get back to the bullies. Sick of risers on long rides. Though they are good for round town!

I really like the new stem and wheelset! Great looking build! No straps?
Posted over 12 years ago

I prefer the Shamal set-up.. BUT this is still one of the best looking bike I've ever seen! woww
Posted almost 13 years ago
I still love the shamal set up.. However having clinchers and more spokes means this bike gets ridden alot more. It's my daily ATM. So I'm happy with it! Thanks man.

and I thought it couldn't get any better! I thought I liked the ergostem, but the DA stem just looks so much cleaner! Excellent build :)

Dude, the new wheels look spectacular! You didn't get them from the Bossomworth owner, did you?
Posted almost 13 years ago
Yea I did, he's a mate of mine so I sold the shamals and bought these.
