Bollox, bollox, bollox.
What a defensive flakey IT you are. My Wilier (made in Italy), adorned with Campagnolo (made in Italy), with Campag wheels (Made in Italy), Cinelli handlebars (made in Italy) and a Selle Italia saddle (made in Italy) looks rather good actually.
I didn't even try to make it look good and coordinated, it was intrinsic :P
Anyhow, what's with the blue bottle cage?Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

I beg to differ. Wilier 2009, prior to shifting east - made in Triestina. Cinelli Criterium handlebars (circa 1987), no, made in Italy. My saddle said on the box: Made In Italy. The rest, probably.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

It was an Elite cage. I have now got a matching red, white and black carbon one.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

I have artificial hips. If you were a real, genuine Italian, replete with engineering and creativity skills, you could design a hip and acetabular cup that are more flexible then the current crop.
Anyway, sod orf - the spacers match.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

I have already. Twice. But I'm keeping them for me , TDLO and The Hound for when we need them.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

No, Taiwan - FSA.
Right, never mind fudging and deflecting the issue, where's the pics of the brake pads on the calipers?seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
off the 'phone in my email folder ready to be transferred to the photo thing and posted here tomorrow. Actually didn't notice that I have a smidge more room to move them up as well when final set up time arrives.
Anyhow, never as maybe- Taiwanese carbon. Class in a glass. Glad to see you went for a multi manufacturer line up - spread the joy and wealth.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Did I mention the French pedals or the Scottish mud or the German tyres?seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
I wasn't going to mention the pedals as I'll let you off on them.
Surely the mud is still owned by Parliament, and therefore governed by England following the failure of the Referendum to free the Scottish people from the shackles? So English mud really.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Enuff of this off topic distraction, can I get some assurance that you will post the pics of the calipers tomorrow?
There's something not right about Dirk but I can't put my finger on it. I think it's the wheels.
I hope you put proper platform pedals and Christophe toe clips and straps on it.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

IfI was using the bike everyday I''d have a sharp intake of breath, but for the 500 miles a year that it's going to be on the road it's fine for decades to come.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Do you now admit that Dirk rocks?
TDV is away in deepest darkest again at the end of the month, so It's going to be moved inside, all stripped, lubed, copper slipped and finely re-assembled before heading off to crush local bankers/dentists in a fit of giggles.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

How far do you think we can push this? If I post one picture for each thing I do I reckon we're on a 15er easy - especially if we keep bickering.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Never mind the 'we'.
Add:
Helmets
Crank arm lengths
Slick or tread tyres
Doping allegations
Then it will be eternal.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

How about attacking that caliper bolt with some chrome polish? Then polish up the calipers 'cos they're dull. T47 is an expert in this field.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
