Project Q - Prototype Build

<< < (16/20) > >>

Mikku:
I've been using the Quamen as my regular rice-field rider for a few months now but have decided to swap out the Renthal chainring for a Profile Elite. Mainly because I want the Renthal for my UB2 but I actually think that the nickel-finish Profile looks great on Project Q! :daumenhoch:

Mikku:
Is it ever possible to actually finish a bike?! I'm loathe to throw money at bikes, especially when they work fine but I've been unhappy with the look of the Avid brake lever since it was on there. I like the lever it's just too new and bright for the rest of the bike (the same can be said for the alloy seatpost but that's another story for another post), so have been looking for a suitably cheap replacement. I finally found this SRAM lever today and grabbed it pdq. So far as I know, the SRAM levers (or at least this one) is the same as my Avid one but this one has a titanium finish which is (hopefully) a much better match for the raw finish on the Standard bars. Will find out when it arrives in the New Year, which gives me more time to find a suitable seatpost! :daumenhoch:

Chilli Rinse:
That will look great when it's fitted  :daumenhoch:

Midschoolfool:
Nope, a bike is never finished. Not ever.

If you can find one look out for a TRP Donnie Robinson carbon lever. Yeah, it's *that* Donnie Robinson. I absolutely love mine !

Mikku:
Yeah, one of those would look great but they aint cheap! Thumbs down

I have the caliper on my Crupi though, and it's a nice set-up for sure.
