is that a custom paint job on genuine S works frame?

Hi Randy, good to hear you’re home safely... aside from the bike being nicked, I was very much looking forward to catching up with you for a few days... All that said Randy, whilst I had the weekend planned off and HID in Yorkshire, all in anticipation, the weather has been awful. Trees down, power lines down, the lot....

Just sitting here watching the rain lash against the windows, thinking about getting on to the Bkool for a laugh...... tomorrow’s not looking too bad..

Jim

See you in the 5 p.m. Rerun

Rob that’s stunning mate!

I like everything about it. Nicely proportioned. Even the seatpost is great looking. Definitley a frame much better suited to disc wheels I think. Looks very clean indeed. Maybe chop a bit more off the steerer tube if you like the fit?

I like the tan walls personally. And if they are corsa g’s I don’t think they come in all black though I could be wrong. I have them in graphite colour but I think yours look better. They’re great tyres but I think your bike would also look good with all black sidewalls too at a later date.

Which bar stem combo did you go for in the end?

 

[bobinski]

Keep the tan. Tops it off nicely

Hi tommy ill never get that slammed but it felt good so ill drop the stem another 5mm im hoping to get to just the conical spacer the stem is zipp beyond black and zipp service course sl bars but ive just had a set of easton areo bars delivered but with it being disc its a pain to swap them over so i might just leave it for now

Nice

It looks very well proportioned as it is to be honest. I meant maybe chop down the spacer on top of the stem. It looks like you have 10mm up there at the moment? Maybe if you want to keep a little on top chop it down to 5 or 2mm instead.

I left that there just incase i needed to rise the bars ive only done 1 45 mile ride when i happy with the height ill get it cut probally flush as i like it with no spaccers on top

 

[Randyberlin]

I thought I was the only one who liked the tan sidewalls. I didn't say anything because I thought it was just showing my age.. But yeah, great looking bike including g the sidewalls.

 

[CXRAndy]

I was trying to convince my in-law to buy the S Works Roubaix frame. It had a lovely purple flip flop paint job.

 

[rob01792]

Did you get a chance to weigh the bike rob? I know you’ve got deep rims on it so it’s maybe not the most important thing to you but just out of interest.
