Current Projects chat and miscellany

Oh nice. I saw that come up but the rattiness and alu forks stopped me. If you can source the decals that'd be rad. Deffo needs some carbon up front whatever you do.

Not sure if srs

keep up Jebbeh

Black cranks, 130bcd, a few years old, could be had for cheap. What should I look for?

Sram rival I reckon.

Sniped something else. Will look pretty sweet I reckon.

The CX/Light tourer project has started I guess.

'open' pave

SRAM X9 Type2 vs 2.1? Type 2 was plagued with the clutch locking up. Did they rectify it on the 2.1?

I think H Lloyd Cycles have the decals.

bit of post mud work makes this look more like a bike. PSA, clement xplor MSO feel great on road and dirt track. Mud, perhaps unsurprisingly, causes more of a problem. I had been imagining flying down the bridle way next to the river as the sun set. Ended up going a mile fish tailing and turning around. Gonna see if I can get away with 1.8 tyres on here. Vertical clearance seems fine, not sure about lateral though..

Just rang up mercian to pay this off. Goodbye wages.

^ Beautiful.

Cheers, planning on still riding this one in 20 years time :)

Finally got round to putting Alpenis forks on this

Looking good, kinda miss these.

Was going to take the cranks off this to put on the one I posted last week.. but that emelle BB aint going nowhere. So while I brace for digging round for some square taper cranks, I snapped a few pics of this before it devolves.
Frameset picked up around Xmas, have done under 50 miles with this setup. lots of fun, very light, ride it like a BMX. Looking for removeable crossbrace cruiser bars if anyone has some. Pls forgive mismatched cable pull and loose mudguard. it works. PICs
Cost £15 and a deep parts bin.

Is that a coaster hub?

Today i rode this to work in Russian army surplus mittens, so this is staying as-is as my mitten bike.
ftw.

@saarf according to the news and some search engines it seems lennert hut rode the mount ventoux three times in one day for charity on that bike. His linkedin is here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lennerthut might be worth emailing him.
Here is a pic of him on the bike: http://www.zoetermeerfm.nl/nieuws.aspx?id=615

@edscoble Am I totally bonkers thinking about doing a 1x10 setup on a gravel grinder / light tourer? I was thinking going 44t Narrow Wide in the front and a M771 11-36 mtb cassette in the back. Advise please.

Got this thought as well for my Croix de Fer. Got a 36/46 on the front and 12-32 on the back (ostensibly 11 speed but free hub is too narrow so dropped the 11 speed cog). For the riding I've done so far I haven't been out of the 36, but I think when I put some slicks on and take it on the road I'll use the 46. The thought of 1x10/11 scares me unless you're doing one type of riding only.
Have said that, people tour on fixed so...
