Current Projects chat and miscellany

I understand all this, but when Ed said
"doesn't SMP advise against compression seatpost"
and i said
"as opposed to holding the rails with magnets?"
I was just joking that wichever way you clamp the saddle it's still compression.

you know when you realise you've made a bad joke because you spend so much time explaining it....

I read the 'joke' but hoped you were actually interested rather than just being a tiresome pedant. I was wrong!

News on the Rob Telfer: have received the frame and tried two setups (just loosely put together with tape etc./first one with p'shopped bars)

Actually, the first is what I was planning (tight geo porteur), but the second one starts to feel tempting. I need to stay strong and go on with the porteur.....

I really like this frame, the proportions are f*ckin' amazing

@Thuekr Are they...white rims and spokes!?

They're white...

Planet-X x No Logo = Yes Logo?

I raise you with hubs of gold!

One lo Pro (Concorde) ready to be posted, one lo pro (Hagen) back from coating and ready to be built.

doubble post..

Bought this felt f85 super cheap, try to make it more fun with leftovers and swappin'.

Perfect roadbike to work on those days legs are to tired for trackbikes..

Looks like this today, next plan is other cranks.

max or, record or,cinelli , ceramic rims and crazy bobs

record or thumbies are sublime imho,poor pics so will take better

About to buy this:

55€ without tyres or 75€ including tyres. No photos of tyres so not sure if I'll buy.
Not sure what I'd do with this really.

I only need brakes and cables. Any recomendation of cheap brakes that will work with wide tyres?
I've been looking at wiggle but all of them are at least 40€. Which is almost the price of the bike.

How does it ride with track forks?

Looks like you will need a different front and rear brake, seeing as the rear has canti bosses and the front does not...

Just 'won' a new Canyon Ultimate CF frameset for £380. 2011 version, but still. Will try to collect as many second hand parts for it as possible for a cheap ww biek.

@Bartroll, I'm currently working on my GT all terra tequesta but will change a few things. so I have original GT stem, original GT handlebars and dia compe XCE brakes and brake levers with all small parts for brakes. And the stem is originally drilled to support the front brake. Let me know if you're interested.

Thats pretty good. What size? Budget weenie is the way forward .. BHS wheels + 10 speed sram on ebay + kalloy uno stem etc.

58cm. Bit tempted for 11's Ultegra.. Can be had for 499 new. Will have to wait a few months for those funds though. Skint.

Edit: This.

.

I use the bike for cruisin or as a messengerbike, so 100% downtown riding, feels good with a little bit quicker stearing!

precursa feeling + gears! :)
