So got some new wheels delivered today for the Van Nich.
Hand-built to my specs by DCR Wheels in Sussex.
30mm Silver Velocity Rims, Silver Sapim Lazer spokes, Silver Alloy Nipples and Silver Novatec Hubs.
Look very smart even if I say so myself.

I sold the Carbon Road bike to fund a Cross Bike, I built a Kinesis Pro 6, I am very happy with this a great ride, so I started looking at their road bikes, they have a very nice new titanium frame coming out,I thought I would like one of them, £1399 frame & forks tapered headset takes 28mm tyres with guards with long reach brakes, no reviews but plenty of positive reviews of the old frame non taper headset 23mm maybe 25mm with guards normal reach brakes, the new frames were due in the country on the 6th June, there was some old ones on various sites some £1399 ( a carbon seat post included with old frames ) Winstanleys had one my size for £ 1119. I was quite happy with 25mm with guards and a better brake choice in the shorter reach brakes, the only thing against it was the non taper headset, I made them an offer that was accepted so I ended up with this.

Shimano 105 Levers, Derailleurs, Chainset 50/34, Cassette a combination ( I filled some 9 speed sprockets down to 10 speed width to give me 14,15,16,17,18,19,21,24,27,30 Shimano m540 pedals.

Planet X wheels, Handlebars, Stem, Seat ,Brakes, Vittoria 25mm Slick Tyres

Very happy with the ride, my times are as fast as on the carbon ( although the bike is a little heavier) and I can fit guards and a rack if I feel like it.

Hi what cages are these?

How have you found them in use?



Just remembered your post.
Both cages snapped at the point of the upper boss point.
Returned to VN for replacements, they sent a new design.
Think there must have been a fault with them. And as usual VN don't/wont say if there was a problem.

Anyone would think there was a reason why the design of a metal bottle cage hasn't really changed for the last 100 or so years!:whistle:
