Talbot Fixed Tourer

.

Bit late I know, but had you seen this ? Could have been a way of minimising the retensioning required on your dinglespeed set up by giving the same tooth differential on front and rear.

How did that work out by the way?

What's the a-c on the fork? This years croix de fer carbon disc fork has pannier bosses.

not tapered though?

Not tapered indeed. But a different bottom cup could sort that out.

study shot with the correct rack before it headed to bespoked

I reckon thats the best way with a rack like that.

I was thinking about using straight aerobar extensions and hanging dry bag from them.
Keeps it more aero than panniers but also on the front.

You should get MSR pocket rocket and small fuel canister. Better than meths.

Or get a stove and just use wood and bits.
Each to their own!

but cool cool bike.

What's the fire extinguisher for?

trangia meths fuel bottle

Yeah hopefully reasonably aero. need to fine out though if the revelate gas tank will be just about big enough for little things i need to grab mid-ride without having to repack drybags!

Get a full frame bag!

Or move the bottle cages down and put in a bigger top bag.

But gas tank is fair size.

what cage are you using for the trangia gas? need something like that for the tandem innit.

so it made it to bespoked!? :)

Does the bike buddy rattle at all?

Loving the fuel bottle setup. Never seen that before! I have a petrol powered MSR that's the bees knees.

I have a tourer from the 80s with a bottle cage down there.

@laner so whats changing gear with the dingle thingy like out on the road?

Was at bespoked, though displayed high up so no-one could see the scratches :D

Bike buddy does rattle a tiny bit on cobbles but fine the rest of the time
Also this alternative looks quite secure http://www.freeparable.com/monkiicage

@Skülly as my tour was flat as the proverbial pancake i haven't actually tested dingling yet!

From my experience, undo QR and slacken chain, shift chain from big to small then small to big, tension and do up QR. Takes about 20s. Greasy fingers though

The tail supernova on the photo is pretty bad fitted, isn't it?

Fork rack mounts should be fixed by this weekend, then sent off for painting.... soon, again

rebirth!
