Current Projects chat and miscellany

did have risers for a month or two - could never get a magic gear to work though. Felt guilty every time I locked it up or found a new paint chip. Hence the conundrum!

Risers and 1xgears of your choice then?

^this

Short memories lufgussers...

Think I'll mothball it for now.

Looked banging.

Did you just not use it in that format?

Are those forks the originals?

Yeah, was great to ride but the paint started to pick up some chips from locking - it's sorta in good original condition so I felt a bit bad leaving on the street occasionally! Basically, I have 3 bikes already and this is sadly unused.

The forks aren't the originals. some cheap tange 1" threadless chrome ones. The carbon forks that came with it have a ridiculously short steerer and the bottom crown race never sat straight on them. May investigate a way to fix this though.

Well I need a setback post...InternetBaikFit, but once I put my saddles back i felt more balanced so it seems to be right ;)

As for orange, well, I tried to match with orange bar tape and it went hilariously wrong. I may have some orange valve caps somewhere though! :)

Yeah looks great like that!

Summer bike?

On those aero/tt pista/roadies,with the aero/almost v like seat tube ,would the size of seat post be uniform?

Possibly one of my most nonsensical posts,am in negotiations regarding frame, will see how pans out then post pic for lucidity

Eh? Seat post sizing is usually determined by tubing...if it's a good make of steel not made in France, 27.2 is to be expected. Do you know tubing? :)

You going crabon mate?

You've changed :(

Is not carbon,is alu,tight as a gnats gusset as has rear wheel going into seat tube,and.

Is pista

Well will you look at that, I've now realised I can build this up like that with spare part lying around, and lock it outside too.
