So here's some pics of my winter bike project, it's a transfer of items across from my Specialize Allez Sport to a Kinesis Racelight T frame and Deda Black Rain fork.
So far it's had new long drop brakes, new chainset and BB, headset, stem (from Scook94 for a bottle of whisky!), new cables and it'll soon be wearing a new Tiagra front mech as I broke the old one trying to service it. The rear wheel skewer is also rusted in place so it's currently soaked with WD40 and I'm hoping it'll shift at some point!
I've sold the old frame and fork and the other bits that didn't go on the new bike are on ebay, I've purchased wisely (cheaply or 2nd hand) so it's not going to cost me a bomb. It'll also be wearing full mudguards when it's finished.
I can't wait to get out on it!
