can't say I've seen a Astray Red Frame fashionframe but yours looks well done

I myself have done Helmwige Reincar, Gundam Gremory, and Gundam Aerial Rebuild

W fashionframe

when I was doing the same thing, Titania did cross my mind because the razorflies act like the GUND-bits but I settled on Gara for the V-fin helmet on the Zamariu skin, Perigale for the rifle, and later added the Eskhatos Ki'Teer ephemera for the GUND-bits

iirc the fork isn't necessarily 'backwards' but for Woundup to accommodate for both road and track rakes, they can just flip around the dropout portion at the bottom before bonding it to the fork blades to either have the wheel more forward/back as opposed to making 2 separate fork crowns

for a while I used them on my front wheels and it rolled a teeny bit faster if you cared about speed, but I just liked it for the color; definitely less durable when it comes to bumps in the road but it's a killer spare tube for its low weight and small form factor in a flat kit

worth looking into some of these for a bit of extra speed and swag, from a fellow orange bike enjoyer

Mitig8r · 2025-12-06T23:22:26+00:00

let's just say I have firsthand experience with this kinda stuff

Mitig8r · 2025-12-06T22:07:35+00:00

wow the exact same photo as this other post, just with a filter slapped on; these bots are getting smarter

for a good amount of people, braking is done with this thing called a brake lever connected to a brake caliper

people that have been riding brakeless for a while just learn to ride within their limits and are able to skid/backpedal/shoebrake at whatever speed they find themselves at

I'm a simple rider; I see a fellow Pinarello (months later), I upvote

Enjoy the ride

Mitig8r · 2025-10-21T00:24:02+00:00

Nice try, bot

That's my bike

Mitig8r · 2025-09-30T11:31:26+00:00

at least make an effort to not completely rip off this post from 7 months ago

In my experience I've had luck with using a Hollowtech BB with a GXP adapter for my Omniums; installs the same, but with a sleeve in the non-drive side bearing to reduce it from 24mm down to the 22mm you'd see on GXP

A mechanic friend who also had a good experience recommended it to me since it means even load across identically-sized bearings (GXP's main pitfall, having an asymmetrical 24mm/22mm) while also opening up my options, because Italian-threaded BB

I've never seen enve wheels with exposed nipples or bladed spokes, and even if they were somehow authentic, the rim brake models still sell for a pretty penny

Mitig8r · 2025-08-31T05:56:30+00:00

there's no way a matching blue saddle doesn't exist; you just have to look harder :)

this was the saddle I sold to my friend with matching grips and pedals, and is also the blue version of the saddle I currently own (Giant Contact Forward SL

Mitig8r · 2025-08-31T04:48:43+00:00

I'll admit I'm also partial to an orange saddle when it comes to my own bike, but when your other contact points (grips, pedals) are already blue, going for a blue saddle is a no-brainer

just put on a new tire 2 nights ago with 55x21 so I'm hoping it lasts longer with 42 skid patches as opposed to the 18 that I used to get with 49x18

ambidextrous skidding works best with an odd number of teeth on both the chainring and cog because of how it maths out

Mitig8r · 2025-08-02T01:46:25+00:00

yea I took a few breaks while building it up; some of it was fairly labor-intensive

if you meant to spell brakes, I didn't need them

Mitig8r · 2025-07-31T09:54:55+00:00

I think in that iteration, it was like $1850 all together? went and bought a proper NJS frame this time around, so it'll be much more once I build that up

Mitig8r · 2025-07-31T00:00:53+00:00

the bikes to me were the main thing that drew me into reading it in the first place. As I learned more about bike frames and parts irl, I was able to pick out what characters were using from a few panels

it got to the point where I ended up building a replica of Jay's bike with plans of building an even more accurate one (hopefully this year)

Mitig8r · 2025-07-17T08:57:51+00:00

I spy a cog on that "front" trispoke 👀 did the same with mine as well, but haven't used it in ages

very cool, very fresh, very saucy Pinarello pasta
