Constant repairs, upgrade on S works now makes it a darling bike

Wheels of Happiness

S works carbon frame, venge vias bike was a least preferred bike because of many challenges:   weak brakes, untrued wheels, noisy hubs  Non functioning sti and RD

I held the bike since 2016 and was a Peter Sagan model.

However I strived hard to make this A-1

1.  To align the wheel, I researched YT and had 5.5 socket wrench sanded out to be a tool to align the

      Cosmic wheel set.  No one dared touch the alignment because there was no tool.  With the tool, it be-

      came an ordinary alignment job.  Cheap.  No need to bring this to Greenhill's.

2.  I had new tires 25mm fitted;

3.  For the  SRAM red STI i tried to get BN 10 speed STI.  Fortunately Mario Toledo repaired the broken barrel drum and found the problem to kinked cables which he replaced

4.  As for the crank, disassembled this, cleaned  regreased this.  However the crank bolt kept coming off

     A stronger push on the 14 mm made sure it would not get loose again

5.  Centered the V brake and had a barrel adjuster for the rear brake to get this finely adjusted

6.  Disassembled  the rear hub repaired the pawls, regreased the bearing and oiled the pawls.  Spent             some  time perfecting the pre load and centering the wheel in the bike

But finally got things right.  It now runs as smooth as a better.  And is equal to or better than Pinarello

Everyday we itch to improve see something new in our bikes.   This week, I wanted to put Specialized sticker on the Sworks VV.  And Venge on the  top tube. This were my inspirations:

Sticker job:

                                        Note the Specialized logo on the fork

                                  The name of Peter Sagan on the  bike + Venge on the top tube

I went to the sticker shop an hour ago with a USB of these pictures and the sketches and dimensions of what I wanted for the sticker

                                                Plan for the  name plate

                                                    Proposed dimensions (measurements)

The results:

                                             Specialized logo on the fork  (1.5 cm x 14)

                                         Venge + name plate on the top tube

                                           The name plate

Evolution:

                                                 Sketch of the  proposed name plate

                                           Ang inspiration

                                                              Ang kinalabasan

Repaint works


A very young painter suggested that to improve the appearance of the bike further, he could have this repainted with glitters or blue with pearl effect (irridescent changing colors)

Soon to acquire an S works Venge Vias - replacement for Fuji?

I may be able to obtain a  S works Venge  Vias but we are still struggling negotiating on the price.  It is not the special edition color of Peter Sagan.   It was bought for a big amount but the  owner changed his mind and wanted a Bianchi instead. I wanted to utilize the SRAM red with BB30 crank.  The S works houses BB 30.

                                         Napost sa FB, 3 weeks daw lang nagamit black S works

Peter Sagan rode on a traditional bike last April 10, 2018 winning the Roubaix Paris race.  No Di (electronic shifting) and only rim brakes.  We are reminded of him dumping bike with Di that failed (dead batt).

He quarreled with PR and Marketing of Specialized.  

So why dont we have a Tarmac of SL6 carbon bike frame even for a show if not the skill, strength and speed of Peter Sagan

                                                     Sabi ni VM, start ng Surname namin, could we sue?
                                                              Hahaha
