I'll kick off then......(Edited to account for a straight saddle) :roll:

Bugloss: De Rosa SL 1986, 8 speed Dura Ace 7401/2/3. Plus upgraded Dura Ace dual pivot brake callipers 7700 paired with 7402 levers.

Factory finished, polished steel and lacquered De Rosa with SL tubes, Wolber TX profile clincher rims on Dura ace 7403 Hyperglide hubs with Vittoria Open Corsa Evo SC clinchers, fantastic tyres by the way, and an electric blue suede Concor Supercorsa saddle to match the decals. (Reminds me of the electric blue suede creepers I had)

Look Keo clip ins.



And to prove it's not a garage queen, here's a paparazzi photo catching me rubbing it against my inner thigh on the Gospel Pass this Saturday 22/3/2014. Errhmmm! :roll: :roll:

Ok, I'll stick my head into the lions den. Please be gentle for thou is a mountain biker at heart with a secret love of skinny tyres thanks to my old man and the dream team of Liggett and Sherwin.

Kona Kapu 1994. You won't see another one like this in the UK, let alone Europe (if you do tell me!!!). Build thread with a big back story here: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=278183

If I've broken the rules then please let me know

De rosa is very nice but why do I see so many saddles pointing downwards ? Answer please ?

Coz I couldn't figure out how to set it straight till after the first ride :roll: Doh! Fiddly this Shimano stuff with all the tiny grub screws all over the place.

Done now and will update photo when I get back to Blighty. Alright?

Anyways were you sussing out the competition IR?

Not sussing out the competition matey, we are all winners at the end of the day

I understand that stupid grub screw and is supposed to do accurate positioning but its a pain.
