Current Projects chat and miscellany

meant to reply to @TRA - think you should keep the current forks + get a rack too. it's rad as it stands though.

@TRA Two awesome bikes. 1x8 looks so good on there, definitely needs the Airwings.

ready for more shite weather

Brakeless, risers and carbon are back for some seasonal sled action.

Coming along nicely

New cranks? Looks rad.

Yeah cheers man, it got a new drivetrain and back wheel last month. It was running on Miche bits and it wasn't doing the bike any favours, feels so much better now.

I'm quite excited about returning to commuter mode , I've got S500 levers with Newbaums tape on the spotter bars and it looked awesome on the bike when I was tinkering last night.

alloy for coming summer.

Okay, give it back now.

Just threw this together. Note the ribbon around the left hand crank, BB30 is yet to be installed (currently @ 6.6kg).

That's very smart!

Well those boat anchor tyres won't help the weight!

Open corsa's plz

Looks mint. Ordering one in the spring

Cheers guys. @Tenderloin fair comment, just a sucker for that stealth black combo. Will report back how it rides.

Does that qualify as a monostay.

pardon late reply. was riding brakeless, your suggestion for fixed with front brake is a great idea but only after i enjoy a bit of being able to coast for awhile. you know you realise how enjoyable freewheeling is only after you ride fixed for long time.

You should slap a coaster hubs on the rear, it's a lots more fun being able to slow down with a light back pedal.

I don't know, I never really enjoyed singlespeed, even after riding a brakeless hipster bicycle for a long time, felt like a broken variable gears bicycle.

I'm just saying you can shed weight on the tyres but keep the same look

Lovely; I know its Extralite but inline post made me a little sad .. get zipp SL layback

Don't listen to Amey / Get the lightest post that fits you on the bike.

Is the saddle rail bent?

@amey you no like? I have inlines on all my bikes and seem to get on well with them. Plus I like the idea of an alu post. Thanks

@edscoble maybe ever so slightly

I'll do that come the summer. In the meantime I'll probably fit the panaracers to my Shimano R500's for the winter, whenever it comes. Any advice you want on Hong Fu, just ask.
