    Thanks 👍 yeah it's really hard choosing colours etc. I agree. It's a very steady thing like.

    Thanks 👍 to be honest I've not properly ever measured the bike. I dropped the bars forward so they are now level with the angle of the stem and it's actually proved better on my wrists for some reason. I think it's because I lowered the seat so I wasn't leaning into the bars as much but it's all...

    Just thinking 🤔 brown cable, black, green or silver maybe. I'll be changing it as it suited the older style but now I'm thinking green 🍏

    It's a bit old primary school toilet roll with the pink and brown I get it. I'll leave it for now. 😂

    Yeah - I've had the bars in all sorts of positions to be fair. I have them up some days down others when I'm trying to impress 😂 in all honesty I could ride a 60cm miles better after trying a friend's so I'm on the lookout for a bigger frame. 👍

    Mavic CPX 12 700c rims question.

    Thanks folks. The Vittoria Rando tyres look nice actually. I'll only be using this on mostly tarmac and a few tracks which are fairly flat I'll use inner tubes aswell. I've never stepped over to the tubeless dark side yet. I don't need to really. Good stuff. Will try share some pics of my build...

    Mavic CPX 12 700c rims question.

    Hello - I've a pair of Mavic CPX 12 700 rims. The original tyres that are on them are from a 1998 spec and are 700x25 but I wanted to get a pair of Panaracer 700x30 GravelKings - I don't think the frame will allow much wider tyres at the rear but will these Mavic rims be ok to run 700x30 just to...

    Thanks for this folks. As an update I actually got in touch with the guy I bought this from originally and ended up having a bit more talk and he did the same with the guy he acquired it from. Turns out it was a Coventry Eagle as the original dark red colour seemed to match. So I decaled it up...
