Current Projects chat and miscellany

Thanks for info mate!

I cant see this becouse its only postage to UK but I`m from Poland.

I send message, maybe he will send it to Poland.

Can`t wait for answer :)

Just finished putting together the little Condor I got from [] for my sister

complements her little Argos nicely

although there's a bit of adjusting to get the fit perfect on both.

Built up my first roadie. Threw roboto jnr's baby seat on it and went for a little ride.

I hope he was well buckled in.

Ha! Yeah, he was but we let him out for a little play in the park.

Got bored and wasn't gonna shell out £30 for a german boutique steerer cap, so made one myself to be fitted after headset tensioning. The cost? One 5mm spacer, some two part epoxy (both of which I already had in parts bin), and a £5 A5 sheet of .75mm crabon fibre off ebay. Weighs in at 3.5g. -

Really like the build overall (especially the headset) but I don't think the forks suit it...

Nice. How are you gonna hold it in place?

notaconcorde

Sick anti gravity bike

The spacer was a bit of a tight fit anyway, so it holds itself in place fine, and takes a good pull to remove. It works on anything from 2-5mm of steerer too.

@roboto very nice!

Welcome to the roadie douche club

You no like tusks brah? They're probably the nicest forks I've ridden. Really smooth and responsive on the road.

Built this up a bit today. Better pics soon I hope

whats it? fully sick!

Thanks a lot. are you sure they're pro 2? shell shape looks different.
I'm in Copenhagen so can't borrow your tools, but thanks for the offer.
I love how you can service everything just with a hammer basically.

Don Brooks built up again as an 80s build. L'eroica compliant other than the levers (no top exit for cables). Weird Specialized bars, stem, hubs and crankset (Nitto, Nitto, Sanshin/Sunshine/Suntour and Sugino made, I think). Suntour Superbe Pro shifters and mech, Modolo Master Pro (dat titanium) callipers.

Next project. 80s Dale (R600?) which acted as donor for most of the 80s bits. How stupid an idea is it to put a 130mm hub into ~127mm dropouts on an ali frame?

Smooth.

Rubbish, willy-tease photo but I can make out traces of awesome.

That's cool. There's one hanging up for sale in LBK if I recall correctly..

Parallax with the hideous paint job covered up!

finally finished the lo pro and it had its first ride today, 2 hrs round the hipster areas of town, as is befitting of it's set up !
such a lovely ride nippy flickable ... in fact all the terms that would get me quoted in " shit fixie skidders say " so i'll halt it right here

now to check all the nuts and bolts after it's first ride to ensure nothing has come loose

just one thing bugs me, the silver braking area on the front rim may try and find a solid black rim that can be used for breaking .... oh and the stickers will get rid of the rim stickers soon

It'll quickly become silver anyway...

new geekhouse team bikes make me wanna respray my talbot.

This, for an eternal black surface, carbon is the only answer
