    In a way, I guess so, yeah. I just fancied a cheap Addict.

    Just been down to the underground carpark at work, the poor CR-1 is now sporting a rather thick layer of dust to my eternal shame. I'll ride it home next week, i promise. :oops:

    Took it over to evans on very squishy tires to use their free trackpump, felt a bit disappointed with it having not sat on the thing for months. Rode back on solid rubber at 100psi and faith was restored, beautiful frame, trip home this week (subject to weather/rule 5).

    Buy a track pump, you won't regret it.

    I'm thinking he might have a track pump, just not at work which is where he's keeping the bike.

    (Not sure I'd leave my CR1 for 3 months in an underground car park, however secure it might be)

    Indeed i do, it's a very secure carpark (the building is a datacentre) and the bike itself has two motorbike chains round it. Would be much easier to steal something from my house.

    BTW, anybody else got any tips for protective chainstay material, the stuff that comes supplied on the frame is thick but has started to peel off and looks a bit shabby. Is that helicopter tape from eBay anygood?

    So numpty here chucked the bike in the back of the car today and scratched off a small bit of what appears to be a clear coat off one side of the forks. It's probably just over the size of a 5p coin.

    Leave it, accept the battle scars and apply rule #5, or do something with it?

    Yeah, do tell ITB. I think I saw Slane Cycles had 2011 models in 54 only at that price, but that's the best I could find.

    saddle = FAIL

    lol leave the man alone this is the CR1 thread, not photography ;). Nice build, any idea on the weight?

    What's wrong with the saddle? If it's one of the Planet X superlight jobs I'm considering one for mine! Or do you refer to it being too far forward?

    Saddle is probably not in the correct position. I had a Retul done, but as my seatpost is 300mm and I need a 400mm, it probably has just been stuck back on for now. Once my 400mm seatpost turns up and I set it to the right position. I'll repost.

    I concede the big ring point.

    As for weight - no idea.

    Surprisingly someone had a set of scales at work. 7.4kg or 16.3lbs with pedals. Wheels and tyres are probably a little heavy.

    It's an XL so I'm limited in getting the weight much lower, much easier for me to lose 8kg.

    Never got that saddle rule, surely if you had freakishly short thigh bones you'd need your saddle in a more forward position

    NB I realise it's tongue-in-cheek

    But in that case it would look better on an inline seatpost

    Nice looking bike JZed. I always like the look of freakishly large frames.

    I've actually just bought a second 2012 CR1 SL frameset from eBay. I know it's unimaginative, but I love my present one too much as a commuter and it breaks my heart to see it caked up in road crud. Now begins the process of sourcing parts to build the new one up with. Either that or I might see if someone wants to do a swap for a similar quality Addict.

    Hi all! Has anyone had issues with water in the headset? I had my LBS fit the Ritchey one that came with the frame from Westbrook Cycles. I do ride in all weathers and regularly clean it down, when I turn the frame over it pours out of the spacers! Brown nastyness sometimes too, I've stripped it down but cannot work out how it gets in there, everything looks tight. Any ideas?

    Yes - fit Crud Roadracer mudguards. Or accept that you will need to replace the headset regularly.

    Thanks Rolf, I have a set in the garage, last time I tried them they were a bit tight, not sure if it's the Conti 4 seasons I have on the rims that are the problem. I have a Tortec Razor on the back at the mo, will try and fish out the front one and see if it solves the problem. Still bizzare how much actually gets in there though!
