Current Projects chat and miscellany

I use this http://www.evanscycles.com/products/zefal/hybrid-tyre-liner-27mm-ec038826 in the 23c version and I use another brand as well - I believe they are all pretty much the same.

Ok, almost finished. Now after black 26.8mm seatpost (pm me, if you have for sale) and probably black Salsa stem (PM aswell please).

Wow, that looks nice, but pricey. I must try that sometime when I feel flush.
I just use whatever my lbs have around. I've seen two kinds so far by several brands. A solid coloured one and a translucent one that seems a bit nicer and more supple. Both plastic. Both colour coded for size.

Next project, not decided about the build

what a great frame

For me, rotor cranks and neg stem make this look pony.

Pleas can I haz that stem? Pending stack height... (Hoping it's low as it looks)

Also, don't think this needs gumwalls.

haha good analogy .. now cant unsee it :P

Rotor because P2m, 24mm axle and easy to swap between bikes.

@amey your hoods look quite high on the bars, if you want long and low wouldn't an easy approach be to move them forwards/down a little?

The angle you want your wrists is what it is. You'd just be moving the problem elsewhere.

^ that somec is incredibru.

@TM Will let you know about the stem as soon as I find a replacement.

Gunwalls are just tempory until ai skid them to death (got them together with the wheelset). After RibMos go on it...
But tbh, irl it doesn't look half bad with gums...

This is awesome.... Why not stick to 600 tricolor? Will look great imo
Plus gunmetal seatpost and stem ;)

+1 (except seatpost)

...the gunmetal 600 brake levers. It would look fantastic.

3t made gunmetal anodised stems and bars.

Long dropouts, internal brake cable rooting, pump peg....

...it screams sweet winter fixie to me.

What are the clearances like?

Stay classy. Somecs ≠ winter hacks, they're to be cherished.

rooting

Oh you're Australian. Disregard 'classy' comment above.

Oooh you bitch!

Got to say I agree with the build suggestions above. Plus grey ano box section rims, black tyres, black saddle and white tape.

(and a silver frame pump under the top tube)

Maybe pink or light green tape will be less elegant but better, silva and ambrosio were doing tape with these colours, easy to find for cheap at the moment!

+1 hard ano rims of course ;)

Not box section doe. CXP? Omega V?

New handlebar/stem combo on the Sillgey.
I like it better now.

Handlebar shim now in place, for anyone who was wondering.

<3 concordes :)

@HACHA Maybe one of these?

Silver dp22s would be fucking great on that somec.
My vote is for a full-powered garish anodised everything 90s MTB style build.

I rode past you sat in a Kebab shop last night, that bike stands out.
