Darkside a calling… Introducing the Broom

Doing more miles on the road to get fit.

My cheap ebay bike was heavy and uncomfortable, so I got my old race bike resprayed and added a few new bits (well every thing actually)

The Result:

It’s a much more comfortable ride and seems so much faster, but is a bit twitchy 🙂

Details of the bits, and old and new paint job here[/url]

If you’re going to call it dark side then let me refer you to the rules[/url]

You are currently in breach of 40, 41 and 45 as far as I can see.

Otherwise, it’s a cracking looking bike. The detailing is lovely, who did the paintwork?

Good God, that’s beautiful.

Superb colour, and I even like the rug.

You’ve clearly missed the mudguards and girls ring.

But yeah, apart from that, nice.

Ahem.

Road bikes without mudguards are purely an affectation:

Unless you’re in a race, of course.

Nice to see some spacers under that stem as well.
‘Slammed’ my arse.

Only weapons grade bellends use the term darkside.

ah, no, hang on.

Thanks for comment s

bigG, I’ll give you rule 40 and 41, but not 45. The stem is flush with headset. Forks are 1″ threaded, so had to use an adaptor to fit a 1.1/8th stem.
Paintwork done by Woodrup in Leeds – great job 2

As for mudguards and low gearing, well I live in the north and my legs ain’t what they used to be 🙂

Dick_P – thanks for your valuable insight

Alright ya bell 😉

rims need de-stickered

i like that 😀
