A road+ frame in fancy flip paint with fancy @silca_velo pump painted to match. Some fancy @swarfcycles carbon mudguards to go on it next. Thanks to @saddleback_ltd for sorting me out with the pump!

[sturdycycles]

Looking forward to putting some parts on this!

A couple of @sturdycycles made it out to watch some bikes with a few more horsepower on the Isle of Man. 📷 @best_mobile_bars (at Isle of Man TT)

David got one of the first road+ frames built after the prototype that @theradavist featured a little vehicle back. Here it is all dressed up in cream and green.

A few alignment checks on this chainstay sub assembly. Dropped chainstays for improved load path through the relitavely large, thin wall t47 bb shell

Always nice to see some @sturdycycles riders meet up in the wild!

Another option on road builds: Power meter (and a few tips on how to use one!) Over the years I've done the rounds on all the various options for measuring power.....I'm really happy with this pedal based system from @favero_electronics. Just as easy as any pedal to install. Provides very consistent data. Adds very little weight compared to a normal pedal and is also one of the most affordable options at the moment. ✓✓✓

Carbon wheel option with road disc builds. 46mm deep tubeless compatible rim. 18.5mm internal width (wider gravel oriented option available). Fast on the flat, light up the hills, stable aerodynamic profile for good performance in blustery wind conditions. ✔ DT Swiss 350 hubs ✔ Great value performance option with prices starting at £900 ✔

All the offsets going on on Paul's t47 BB

I'm sure that #crossiscoming happens earlier every year!.... this pretty special set are all finished up and ready for rubber.

New bike day for Michael. A very tall (I think this is the longest head tube I've used to date) titanium road disc frame, @columbus_official fork, Shimano di2 groupset, zipp service course finishing kit and some handbuilt wheels shod with @contityres rubber.
