OK. Given this has been a "try to make it all killer" build I decided to invest a tiny bit more. AKA, pissing money up the wall  :LolLolLolLol:

I hate the top cap. I hate those 1/4" drive top caps in general as unless you are really lucky they end up crooked and look like dog shit. It's also a pain to do it up, given I don't have a 1/4" arm. Only 1/2 and the very small one. So I have to dig around for a tiny adapter.

So I got an S&M one. That will look good no matter what.



Currently there is no issue with the brake. It pulls like you would pulling a mugger off your granny, but as the pads wear it won't work. This is because of two reasons. Reason one, I put the stop a little bit too close to the seat tube. However, that would never be an issue if I were able to custom make the straddle. Sadly it's balls. Literally.



And a barrel cable will not fit. So you can't change that at all, unless you have knarps.



So change it I will. I can then bring the whole hanger back, leaving tons more room for pullage. Talking of which... I tried a white cable against the frame but I didn't like it. I like how the red sticks out against the bars. So I decided to keep it red. What I did do, though, was buy a proper linear cable. The other one was 3 quid, and is not. I prefer linear.

Those tyres clash with the flowers! It's making my eyes hurt!! :D

Apart from that, me likey! :daumenhoch:

Midschoolfool:
Haha good I hope they fall out  :LolLolLolLol:

It's amazing how much this build divides opinion tbh. Like everyone seems to hate colour these days. Amazing really.

The good thing is if people hate it and it divides opinion like that then I definitely got it right.

It's happy. I've built quite a few now that are not, so it was time.

Got a load to do at home now. Like, home home. Need more wall sockets for the network and my server so have to do that, and then I have a big upgrade for my cinema system planned and got too, but again needs labour. Nothing stock here!

That said when I go back I can finish it up and ride it back, because I just lugged about 30kg of equipment up the bloody stairs.

pickle:
Those tyres need to go in the sea!
