Current Projects chat and miscellany

Why did you have to buy it back from them?

It was a little off.

we gonna try this with your 650b's at somepoint ed?

Be interesting to see if it cleared the 42mm tyres.

New tape for added comfort and a new look, new gear cables for good shifting, as opposed to the less-than-acceptable before.

Also a new rear tyre, as on the way to get the above done I saw I had skidded right through to the cloth in one large patch. I'm not sure how that happened, but it's not something I'm planning on making a habit of on 4 Seasons.

How photos turn out if you point a phone with a broken screen at the sun:

Finished building the Hinde.

I just need to do some gear adjustments and bar tape then we're ready to roll...

My two bikes at the moment, both very much current projects. Frames were bought off the forum and found their way to Bucharest with the help of craciunptr.

They are the same size (54 cm square) and the ideea is to have matching finishing kits (same era, brands etc.). I have a Thomson for the Rossin in 27.2 but it keeps slipping, and the fit feels better with a setback. Both will get Romin saddles in the future, and the Chesini will get compact bars and a Record Pista chainset when I can afford it.

Chesini looks lovely and clean

That thing will be so hot with record pista!

Tyres, cables, saddle, and tape all stay the same, but needs similar gen Campy group as cranks with brifters, job done, and a lovely bike too.

edit: Oh, and pedals.

Bringing the black back.
Slowly.

Hey saaf look what i saw the other day:

can't decide whether i love the frame, or hate it

^ I saw this round the corner from that

This is one of the most spectacular bikes I've seen. Nice work.

This is 2 of my bikes
The Somec is like I want and the other waiting for wheels

A shim, a 27.2mm seatpost and lashings of carbon grip.paste seems to have 'solved' the seatpost woes on my track bike. Now I have no excuses.

The only real issue now is the rounded off, misshapen clamp bolt which is snagging my bib shorts. Guess who it is made by?

Any recommendations for a replacement or are they much of a muchness?

is it miche?

what did i win?

good on you though. my gazelle track (you remember that faithfull eve..?) also stopped slipping after careful grolsch can snipping. it is as it is

Proper photos coming soon. Finally got my open pros rollin!

Swapped forks with AndyP so here is the new track whip.

I definitely need to get rid of the camo tape... and put black pedals.

Functional rack, new levers and cages and ridiculous bar tape.
Front rack bag (Freight Baggage) on it's way and hopefully due next month.

Apart from that. nice bike. Did you strip some parts of the paint?

You can see that the logos are covered by carbon fibre looking stickers.

Since Dolan are nearly as bad as Canyon when it comes to frame branding, I have covered most of the logo with carbon look stickers, which I also use to cover the valve hole on my HED3.

I will go for no tape as the bars are quite grippy.
