Current Projects chat and miscellany

was thinking about making a wooden wheel holder for it but will try a book. saddle is pointing downwards as this is the only way i'm not feeling raped by it when out on the nose..

Sweeet ride there!

Further Mathematics Vol 2

'Macromedia Flash MX 2004 Training From The Source' works for me.

Thought i'd freshen up the C'dale the some lighter, silver bites. Weights in at 7.1kg not bad considering its got a heavy ass steel fork and Rimbo rear.

That's nearly always a sign that your saddle is too high #internetbikefit

Congrats! Steel bike ftw, hope you enjoy it.

Kind of regretting it now after my service change and electricity bill came through the door

i know! and it helped work out the saddle hight on all my bikes except this one. i have ridden it for two years with that saddle height and it's comfortable when leveled and with track drops, but out on the nose and extensions, it's another story..

You can't ride an electricity bill. You've made the right choice.

yeah you ain't cracking that.

Sorry to spam here, but I figure I have a better chance of people seeing this than on wanted or tandem threads. I'm looking for an adjustable setback seatpost, like so: wanted ad. Any help much appreciated.

It's for the stoker on this:

We need some serious setback to have a good fit on the rear.

Challenge accepted ;)

Cheers rich, will try to convert it fixed ASAP to be a wannabe hipster again!

Nice!! Is that a Grammo stem?

Just ride this one back "home"
Many parts will be replaced when I'll return back in Belgium.
7,76 kg - 17,10 lbs with lots of generics parts.
It rides well!

is that a cannondale, a mielec or one of those portuguese scandium jobbies?

is that a cannondale

Has to be, nobody in their right mind would make such an exact copy of one.

I taped my bars this morning and mrs VL pronounced them "absolutely revolting"....
I'm still in 2 minds about them - it's Tesa Cotton Tape + Shellac dyed black with some printing ink
A bit bizarre, but hopefully it'll grow on me

@Rodolfo It's taiwanese.
Cannondale like dropouts makes it confusing and controversial

Looks really comfy.

"absolutely revolting"

Definitely has a bit of the "Tynan's anti-theft paste™" look to it

Inky hands?

Like you've molested a squid?

Upcoming project. Will pick up frame on monday but do not exactly know what I bought... Looks like a PR-XXXX (parts that are still original are DA 740x) but I'm not sure. Price was OK and like the frame.

Sell it to me so I can complete the family!

It isn't exactly this frame is it? http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Ekimov-Panasonic-team-race-bike01.jpg

Missing the yellow and red coloured bits. Still a nice frame though, congrats!
