Current Projects chat and miscellany

Goldsprint are the only people in Europe selling them I believe, they are only sold as a frameset though.

20mm rims and they measure 30-31mm.

Take it they is the 32mm's then?

He did actually say that in his post before editing it.

Yes. 32mm. Will honestly never go skinnier than 30mm again.

Rik, your Jackson is looking proper tasty, especially as it hasn't been pre-stressed by anything other than age and abuse, coupled with bad weather.

Love the look with clearcoat, kind of gives it a hardened, but well seasoned, veteran air to it!

New decals too?

cheers angel.
new decals. more images in my "ugly ducklings" Cp.
with a shed full of tarck biek i've decided i need a fixed road bike for long rides

Yes. 32mm. Will honestly never go skinnier than 30mm again.

Building up a second wheelset soon as I get aero spokes and fast tyres that will be a light and fast wheelset, and can run a set of 32mm Paselas on the everyday wheels that have a 19mm int width rim for dirt tracks and tow paths with lower pressures and ride pretty much anything ability!

Talking about tyres and widths, has anyone seen the article that the German mag Tour did that compares various tyres and widths to see what really is faster?

Any idea if there's a way to download it or buy it or something?

I've only seen people talking about it, but can't find it anywhere, and the English link on their website only brings up mobile apps for mags, but not much and nothing recent.

I wanna start a project building a BB17 Transfer, any info on where i can get a frame (not a frameset cause i opt on getting a carbon fork) used or new within Europe?

Nearly €700 and it still comes with an aluminium fork!?

What is so special about these frames?

no make
twenty three point 8?

FL-750

Silver ones here

Pretty sure they're 22.2mm

Dia-Compe 131 or 135 for 23.8, obviously nowhere near as nicely made as the Tektro.

Omniums installed, finished!

Looking very good in the sun!

Oh for fuck's sake:

Oh for fuck's sake

Sitting here in front of a 1920×1080 screen, the 1024px embed limit looks like a thumbnail, but I suppose it's always going to be a compromise between desktop and mobile users.

I'm sure it used to be 1200px? Bah, phones is bigger than desktops now anyways.

yeah running the 135 and they are a bit shitty. pretty though.

Depends, innit? I'm only 800×480 on the phone, and we have to consider the children with their Galaxy Ys at ony 320×240 and, perhaps more importantly, limited bandwidth.

Looking good but not a fan of those forks really, are they alu? Would rather see either a flat crown steel track fork or some nice crabon straight bladed....

I like them actually, I think they're fat enough that it works.

It's a nice build, but nothing on the Negri, was that too small or something?

Have a flat crown steel fork and create another otp looking 'Dale copy....meh. Crabon would balance the carbon seatpost in this build indeed. I'd keep these forks though, something different.

Negri too fancy for him.

Carbon or steel forks would most likely offer and improvef ride on the road as well. Nuts wantednsomething more useable, uncomfy alu forks ain't gonna be that.

I put an inline seatpost on my Claud Butler and fiddled around with the fit a bit so I have it nice now. I still can't take a good photo of it for the life of me.

Another important addition is this budget Jens Voigt-style motivational message:

I want one!

Forks upgrade, found them today at a jumble sale, now waiting for a new stem and bars.
