Starting the build of my aero bike

<< < (4/5) > >>

m5 paul:
Up on the table and starting to take shape. I had an issue with the headset. The fork thread extended too far for the lock nut. I had a big gap there so i had to use one extra washer and I bought a landar locknut. Missed out on two Tange ones as I had a ceiling price I wasn't prepared to bid over so the landar one will do just to get it up and running but there will be a tange one on it at some point.


Got to say I love these wheels and the look it gives the bike so far








Clamp will get a good polish, just there so i don't lose it at the moment :2funny:


A pair of ebay bars. Wasn't prepared to ruin a set of good original EZ bars so will clean up the welds on these and paint them up in halfords aluminium :D . Got to say they are really light bars.


Other than the F&F, locknut and bars, all the other bits came from good old RAD members :daumenhoch: .
