Graham "Donohue?" Weigh

You rode past me on New Cross Road earlier on this. Looks well nice in the flesh.

I made the lady at the table next to me jump by screaming DAS.

Ah you did shout.
Spotted the Mash and then saw you mouth something but wasnt sure.

Didnt skid... Sorry. Next time.

donohue decals but no outline or anything, just proper in-your-face fluoro orange, on army green paint, you could get them pretty big because of the oval downtube)

This may happen still in the summer.

Getting a 100mm 10º thomson for spatrs off of DokPepe.
Hopefully should sort it.

Yeah that could be cool. Does mixture of black and silver work though??

I've been thinking about this on my GW build. At first i built it up with spare parts box black components but silver cranks and it looked OK. Then the silver ritchey stem, seatpost and bars turned up, all in silver. I installed them and now i'm not sure - probably preferred black as eventually it'll have some black h+ archetypes going on. doesn't matter so much as it rides really nicely no matter the colour of parts.

I'd go all black on yours but i think silver cranks would break it up nicely.

Got a silver chainring to go on which should break it up.
Maybe in the future will think about swapping my 75s for silver ones or DA

Bought a 100 10º thomson off of pepe.
hopefullly itll do the trick.

ive been running the 110mm flipped which has been okkkaayy but not quite right. im hoping i can run the 100mm the right way up and fairly slammed.

at somepoint i want a bent thomson to match up but will have to wait for a cheap one to come up

don't do the bent thomson. will look wack. Get an alien

^ Would but mad pricey.

100mm on and it feels so much better.
Going to cut the steerer down properly soon. Black seatpost needed. Anyone know of a niceish black layback post. Preferably not a single bolt.

Good to hear you got it safe and it helps.

I've got one for sale here.

27.2mm

Cheers Pepe. Its worked a treat.

Ah, sorry dude i need 26.8.
I may of found something but will wait before i get too keen

No biggie. How was Ghana, man? The African attire looks dope man! You going out for a rise during the week?

Nitto seatposts are shit.

Nice to see another Donohue built G.W. frame. I bought my Donohue built 853 from Graham Weigh last year as a refurbished frameset and built it up with Ultegra 6600 and it's a fantastic bit of kit

don't do the bent thomson. will look wack. Get an alien

Found me an Alien seatpost.
Final piece to the puzzle.

Need to give it a clean and regrease and put 44rn on. Gearing down to 47/18.
Then need to work out saddle and cleat position right.

Decided to go back to threadless. For 2 reasons.
The Wound Up is too flashy for locking up around here and i get nervy.
I also desperately need money and have sold it on.

44rn is also for sale - http://www.lfgss.com/thread130305.html
Again to save me some money. So will probably get a new Velo Solo chainring pretty soon.

Frustratingly the steerer on the original fork is like 1mm too long for a 2nut so am going to have to find somewhere to cut it down.

If you want a cheap ring I've found the goldtecs to be great or you can have my 48t omnium one, unused.

Was looking for a 47t as im liking 47x17 though was thinking maybe going 47x18

How much though?

nothing mate, you were gonna sort me some BMX stuff and I've just got this sitting here with no use for it.

You could pair it with a 19t for a fab do it all ratio.

Yeah maybe.
We need to sort that BMX stuff soon man. I go away for a week on Monday but when I'm back we'll sort something

I go away on tuesday so yeah should be free like 9 days after that.

Keep the aarn

I would but I desperately need money to pay rent.
