Love it, including the cream tyres. Be a b*gg*r to keep them clean though.

    Looks great, including the tyres. I think I would have used black cables but I guess white ones sort of go with the tyres.

    The tyres are horrific. :lol:

    Other than that, nice. Bet it is fun destroying MAMILs on their £3k bikes on that thing. 8)

    I really like the look of that!
    At first I thought you might have converted it to a fixie like all the hipsters *shudder* before noticing the small cassette for the Centaur, which I think makes it look VERY cool!

    I love that!

    You've completely ruined it.

    Good job! Very creative :)

    How could you do such a thing?

    Love it. Wish I had the time and inclination to do such a thing. I'm about to embark on the search for a new winter bike. I really should take a leaf out of your book. Great effort.

    Really like it.

    Having done a revamp myself, just wondered how you got the matching seatpost and got it to fit.

    Is that what the black stripe is for? Sorry, can't tell from the pics on my screen!
