i do have the matching Dura Ace wheels in the loft - the C35 carbon rimmed climbing jobbies that cost a billion pounds and weigh nothing.Ben6899 said:Hand built onto carbon rims?
the rims are worn out but the hubs are perfect so maybe in due course.
It isn’t a Dura Ace wheel unless the rim's gone.Ben

the hubs are lovely - really really nice.
a friend is going to lace them onto some carbon deep rims but that won't happen until the end of the year as they are away getting shot at, which is inconvenient on both counts..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

Why do you need your friend to build your wheels. Surely the great MF of the bike world could do it?

No UK military/Nato is there to engage the Russians (thank God).
Here's the foreign secretary's view if you want to keep up to date:

Anyhow, today's shenanigans.
I had a load of running round to do, so all I had the chance to do was hoover and mop the oubliette and move the Cadex, or Le Poisson as it is now known, to the gym.
i also thought about bolts - at the moment it has new stainless dome head allen bolts however id ti going too far? aluminium in non load bearing places?
deffo sticking with silver though.
also ordered some silver stem spacers to cover that fugly gap.

Question is though, sunny weather bike only or not?
although its been checked for delamination, etc and all 2Pak Shakur'd up, it is carbon and old carbon at that, so will the weather affect its integrity?
We all know that modern carbon has its, how shall we say, idisyncracies, but a beautiful classic such as this?
