Ok. I am now :oops:

Sorted now though. Next on the agenda is to do away with the big ring up front and replace it with a bashguard. Any opinions on which one to get?

allthegearnoidea

Ve a fsa polycarb one, had an e thirteen beforw, makes little difference, you can get some cnc guards in a variety of colours, and straitline do some Nice ones, you Could always buy a cheapy one and seek out steve the annosizing man or any local plavces that offer it and get it done to match! ;-)

mrlee

What about some sort of chain device aswell? Or would that be a waste of time (and money)?

allthegearnoidea

Would have to be a BB based one as we don't have iscg mounts!

mrlee

Gamut p30 bashring

allthegearnoidea

There's no fooling you. And there was me trying to disguise the colour, lol

Just read the whole thread and wow, what an amazing bike, love the cotic frames. and love the orange bling through out, I'm very jealous lol.

paulski1966

Beautiful looking bike. Orange Cotic frames rule.

mrlee

Thanks for the comments guys I'm thinking may be a bit to much orange on there now and maybe change a few things. I'm thinking bolts, pedal pins, qr's all in blue. Add a bit of colour. Opinions?

Blue with orange works well:

allthegearnoidea

Personally, I'd go light blue with the orange, that's almost a bit too Deep a blue IMO,

Kowalski675

The pic doesn't do it justice, it's a gorgeous metallic candy electric blue, it looked great against the candy orange (but I decided on metalflake black instead),

mrlee

Well just ordered 6 blue titanium m6 bolts (for a start ). Just got to decide where to start putting them.

Kowalski675

How did you know which sizes to order if you don't know where you're fitting them?

allthegearnoidea

The rotor bolts are the same size as the bottle cage mounts and some bar lever contols,

Most the bolts are m6. Stem, gear levers, brake calipers. Bottle cage bolts are m5. Brake lever bolts are m4.

But if you fit (for example) an M6x20 where an M6x12 would suffice then surely that defeats the object of paying the extra for titanium...

allthegearnoidea

Your forgetting that you've an Extra 8mm Of titanium!

mrlee
