S3, surely? I like mine, and IIRC, so did you when I posted it.

Can you get them at sort of money? I thought they would have been out of my budget.

All seem to be around £2/2,200....

Thank you but although I am more than happy ordering off the internet I prefer somewhere Britain based so if it all goes wrong I can go and, errrr, have a word, so to say.

Apols for the delay.

It's their vacuousness and bull shining: for example they are proclaiming their Mons as not only the lightest bike in the world but the most beautiful.

If I was running Clavicula cranks et al then my CAAD 2 MTB would be up there. And it's not that pretty. The Mons that is. My CAAD2 is, well, a red CAAD2 MTB.

I think it's a failing of mine but I'm really old and rail against the last few years worth of brands trying to make themselves trendy but all looking a bit vacuous: Void are the same and those blokes who want to "bring fashion to cycling" can pedal on as well. Raphatastic.

Is it a funny Argon headset cap or can you replace it with any?

Page 5 of the assembly guide should answer that.

Legend - thank you!

What's the deal with the lower RRP and same price for the one including stem and bars as to the one without? Why would you go for the one without?

Matthewfalle

one with isn't in the right size unfortunately.

anyhow, I have something very pretty in my basket - refund money should be in on Monday and I will reveal all!

Once I have done that I will tell you what frameset Ihave bought.

You tease. You can't leave it there.

Matthewfalle

i just don't want to jinx it.

it is a pretty thing though. hope that approval is met.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bike purchase has fallen through - was going to be a De Rosa SLK Pinanfarina in the sale at CRC but then the price went from cheap to oooooohhhh that's a bit expensive in the colour I wanted in the click of a mouse. £500 increase in one click. Meant that it wasn't really a bargain just a very expensive bike that I didn't need just neeeeeeeed. if you know what I mean.

GUTTED.

Fuggit all. I'm buying a Kiri. They look brilliant. Honest like. And they may pick me as a special rider when they see my skillz in the pelican.

i want it but i just can't trust it to crack at the seat post and fall apart and disappointment me.

but bloody good call though. grazie.

I LOVED my soloist. Literally my favourite bike ever. Had the seatpost cracking issue and went everywhere to try and get it fixed. Advice from pretty much everyone was to let it go... Think I abandoned it at Condor when they transferred the parts onto another frame. Sorry Grant.
