Current Projects chat and miscellany

Putting off stressing about jobs and uni work with thinking about what I'm going to buy when I have a job again..

Talbot

• switch to mini-v's
  
• Cheap wheelset with CX tyres
  
  

Bob Jackson

• get front rack mounts + canti mounts on fork brazed
  
• run mini-v on the front and put 32C tyres on it
  
• new wheelset (TB14's on novatecs I think)
  
  

No more skinny tyres for me!

probably towards the end of the year/maybe next year, I'd like another bob jackson, steel forks, with guards, rack mounts and calliper brakes. But I'm happy with the pair I have just now

Moar bike, less wish lists >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Bought this from colnago costa a couple of days ago:

Stripped the paint off yesterday and then chucked some parts on today:

Anyone ever tried anything like this:

Amazingly gorgeous Rychtarski

49mm wide, 55mm high (including the black outline).

thanks for that.

^^^ you should level out your saddle and maybe lower it a bit. And lower your bars.

I've got issue getting all that crap on the bars as the hand section is only 145mm long before the bend.

I've just ordered some cork grips at 120mm but that only leaves me 25mm for brake lever + shifter or bell

Anyone got a view on a brake lever with a narrow clamp???

Thanks srtluv! Although they're just 23c's.

Yeah, something like modern Glico (?) orso. Thinks it's columbus alloy.

Looks bigger from the clearances but... im no expert

I remember an old guy asking me why road bikes often had deep tyres in pro races?and I was like "I think you are seeing deep carbon rims..."

Yep, I need to rebuild my wheels with silver spokes now seeing Jans' Balk.
