I've joined a cult! The CULT!! Build Thread (+ Updates)!!
Mikku:
Can't believe it's been 4 weeks since I posted anything here! Actually I can believe it, given how long I procrastinate over things, though the start of the new university term hasn't helped. Basically, I'm playing around with crank and seat post choices in my mind, and need to sort out a BB too, so all of that has meant little or no progress to report. Thumbs down
However, this weekend I did dig out some of the parts, namely the Sun Ringle wheels and pedals, for a bit of a play. I put some spare tubes on the rims and chucked on the race tyres that came on the UB2. They're an unusual choice, being Czech-made Rubena Speedos but still have lots of life left in them and I think they look good on the rims. They both seem to spin well, and I put the front on the GT just to see how it looks and rides - I like it! :daumenhoch:
I also put the ZuZu pedals on the GT. These were supposed to be the bee's knees a few years ago and they certainly lock me into my Vans. However, they are much bulkier and heavier than the DMR V12s that I normally race with, so they won't see service on the GT but will be fine for the Cult build.
So the next step I need to take is to pick up a BB, then I'll have no excuse not to start building. ::)

Nice dude.
BTW RE the procrastinating thing? I don't work. If I did? I would get absolutely nothing done. I do have to keep my mind busy though, so that is why I get involved in things I probably shouldn't :LolLolLolLol:
Mikku:
Procrastinating you say! Well, 9 and a half months later, and I'm almost no further forward with this build!! I could have had a baby in that time! Kind of!! However, the reason I say almost is that I've actually just made a purchase for the Cult. It takes a 27.2mm seat post and the only one I had in that size, I sold last year! ::) So I've been looking for one for a few weeks now, with a view to cracking on with this build in the summer holidays. I did want a Thomson Elite post but man, they ain't cheap, especially over here!! I've therefore just pulled the trigger on a Kalloy one instead. Much cheaper and it will hopefully look the part too. Will post pics when it arrives and plan to get things moving after I finish work mid-August-ish. Maybe baby!! ;D

Carbon.
Mikku:
The link doesn't seem to work but no worries as I don't want to use carbon on a steel frame. Plus, I've got a slightly different look in mind for this now. The stealthy all-black idea has fallen by the wayside along with the gold accents. More to follow when the post arrives - which it actually did both yesterday and again today, but no-one was here to sign for it - grrrr!!! ::)
