Profile Design T2+ Aerobars SOLD

I bought these a bit back as I couldn't find the set I already owned :lol: These bars are clever as the armrest clamps are independent of the bar clamps which means you can run the aero cockpit closer to you than conventional tri clip ons.

I bought this to rekindle my camera love, but I've hardly used it.

Transdinarica 5500kms in the Balkans

I came across this the other day https://www.transdinarica.com/something ... the-route/

Interestingly you can buy navigation packages for the route which tbh seems quite reasonable.

Re: Frame and Fork respray.

What did you do? Despite owning sprat guns and compressors, I decided to paint this using nothing but off the shelf spray cans to hopefully try and prove that anyone can paint something and achieve a reasonable result. Any better pics? How did you mask the different colours? Clear coat over the top?
