Thats REALLY nice. I wouldnt have the red grips though.

Father Faff

Yes, I was thinking maybe black grips but with red anodized collars? Would that look better do you think?

That's nice, but if i were you i would have spent less on a wheelset and more on the drivetrain...

Shorty12

Very nice. As the drivertrain wears down you can replace that

The Big Cheese

Nothing wrong with the drivetrain on it.... :?

I think it's ace...

Yeah SLX is good, but the bike could have had a more even build if he didn't spend so much on the wheels, just my 0.02

That's epic.

Although you do need a red seat clamp.

Thats would be the titties

Yes the wheels are a little on the extravagant side even with a £115 discount! But they are as sexy as a bit of metal gets.

Father Faff

...and then maybe red jockey wheels when the SLX ones wear out.....

Very nice....i'm loving your red wheels. ....red anodized collars will look good.

Hoping my Cotic Soul build will be ready this week.

superstar do some good grips and also coloured collars for the grips too!! been really tempted to get some red ones for mine! or four sets of different colours!

cant hep but think i should own a soul - lovely mate

Father Faff

Only one problem now - first ride out and the freewheel hub on the rear Cobalt failed! I thought this problem had been solved on Crank Brothers wheels but obviously not. Serves me right for going for form over function perhaps, though I have to say they felt fantastic until that dreadful pedals-going-round-but-wheels-not moment.

Oh well, at least I can still look at them even if I can't ride them....

good way to practice track stands though!!
or pretend to the locals youve invented a Tiny granny gear thats 100 pedals to an inch of movement!

you know you Need them!!!
