Current Projects chat and miscellany

It came with matching fluo orange aluminium forks. Thinking about getting it restored first. Are there any recommended places?

One day I will own a serotta... soo nice, and by "restore" you don't mean touch that wonderful paint do you? something like force22 or 6800 would look awesome on it

Did it. Pics tomorrow, as the darkness was faster than my work.

@Dmayn91 Hey Duke, let me know when that Dosnoveta comes up for sale...

For the Somec it's concor sprint.... And 3G ... Pic soon

@faffe I have never seen a Look AL 464 P like this one - is this a really early model before the current ones came out?

By restoring I meant to restore the wonderful paint and decals in a way that the frame would look NOS. There is some corrosion under the paint that I'd like to get rid of as well.

That's absolute porn!

I'm waiting for my Montello to be delivered from Argos cycles, which I chose to be resprayed fluo pink. When I went there to decide the colour II've seen they a have a pretty large range of fluo, including orange.

The Forti (4T) is now complete!

My Mike Burrows aero seatpost was too long so I got a new one off @FixedCheese.

I have always wanted to try the ISM Adamo saddles so I took the plunge and got a new Typhoon one.

So, put One-One Mary Risers on my beater.
Before: New pedals, nice compact drops
After: risers!
Tons of fun.

@Vince, you have a true talent for creating purposeful bikes that are ugly as sin!

(not intended as an insult - I've spent 30 years reaching down to painfully low bars on unreachable stems whilst perched on masochistic saddles - All in the name of Euro-pro steez)

@Rik_Van_Looy It's a gift ;-)

I have a new Ti project here:

Hopefully it'll be better looking!

Both of you need to buy bikes that are right size for you.

@Vince is pretty close with his Dave Hinde

@Vince Ti-Disc looking good so far....
^haha - I'll stick with "aspirationally aero"

Thought I'd put this back together for a bit of summer skiddin.
Forgot how bendy but sharp and how much fun it is, especially on 46x18.
Feels like summers over now, so back in the loft it goes :(

Anyone know the weight of the 44cm Soma HWY 1 or the FSA Omega in the same size?

^^Splendid, splendid.
Deserves to be allowed out all year round surely..... foul-weather-skids are more fun.
Stem looks rad. Syncros Altura?

Cheers!
Yeah, have others for A/W 14-15 hip slave duties.
The stem is 3ttt Mega chromix, a bit heavy but seems very stiff.
Actually, the whole bike only weighs 8 and a half kg which is less than my 853 Donohue!

Recently ditched my old aluminium LeMond frameset for some old(ish) steel.
2000 KHS Flite 800 (Reynolds 853) w/ Advanced Composites fork. It's smooth.

Bit worried the 6700 cranks are going to make it look shit. Also need a band on adaptor for front mech, anyone got one knocking about?

Also, whacked a basket on my track bike as i'm heading back to university:

Somas are approx 300g, Omegas are 296g.

I have always wanted to try the ISM Adamo saddles so I took the plunge and got a new Typhoon one.

@Vince ... these puppies are supposed to be setup nose-down, unlike other saddles.

Just a heads up, hope it's comfy.

Some people prefer them level though
