I look forward to seeing this come together. Am I right that you were also considering a Croix or Equilibrium Disc at one stage?

bendertherobot

Did have. This is replacing it. Well, donating all the bits!

boydster76

Ah, gotcha, well enjoy the build! I'm a stem away from finishing my Croix.

Paul 8v

Cooooool, my size too ;-)

bendertherobot

I shall transport home from work tomorrow.

First pics will be sans group set but avec wheels.

Will build up over weekend with luck.

Disassembly is fun

Some preliminary pics later.

Tell you what mind, the quality is immense, the bolt threading is just second to none. The internal cabling for the rear brake is brilliant. No faffing, it's welded in, I guess!

Dammit Bender, I have to have one of these now!

bendertherobot

Of course you do It's been pretty easy so far. Everything is aligned nicely. Won't finish till Monday.

Mudguards will need tweaking. There's way more clearance than on the Croix. I should be able to run SKS 35 guards (for up to 28C tyres) with 32c randonneurs. Mind I might go back to my D+

Oi tyres Bro'... keep up the good job

bendertherobot

Hopefully I will. The 32c are more like a 29c so they should creep in with the guards........

Looking good Bender ...Cross bike will be the next addtion to my fleet ...shall i have another Condor i wonder .

bendertherobot

It's the law mun. Pity they've stopped doing MTB's. I could easily do the hat trick.....

bendertherobot

bendertherobot

Lol, spot the error

bendertherobot

Just tape to go......

ugo.santalucia

Not sure about the angle of the shifters... and the saddle seems to be pointing down...

The Archetype look awesome though... 8)

bendertherobot

Needs slight tweaking. Shifters felt slightly low so I rotated. Bars have markers at front and they appear to be dead centre on them.

Paul 8v

Added bonus, the braking tracks will stay black, which looks awesome :-)

RideOnTime

Don't call him bender...

Oh...

bendertherobot

Done!

ademort

Nice bike but rear mech cable needs shortening bud.

bendertherobot

It really doesn't.

ademort

OK then, lets put it another way. The one on the right looks far too long compared to the one on the left.

bendertherobot

I'd rather it worked than looked pretty. The length is fine. Besides it's even more pink. Which is cool..........

mroli

Looking NICE!!!! What mudguards did you use - thinking of getting a set....

ugo.santalucia

Those mudguard Bender... :roll:

I blame folks like you for the bad weather we've had... you called for it... :evil:

mroli

Which is why I'm thinking of getting a set. SO fed up with the bike cleaning at the moment. I haven't had guards on all winter and yet I get the same weather as those asking for it
