Current Projects chat and miscellany

Haha :) I didn't get a chance to talk to you properly on the weekend. How are you planning to build yours up?

Position is fast with many scobles.
Back too flat for rucksacking, will resist risers for now, want to ride out of town more.

Well the reason why I ordered it board was purely I didn't have to build it up, I am getting the complete bike as it is shown on their website.

Hopefully this will be a good starting on to tinker with. Planning to convert it to fixed and get some sram parts on it ;)

Ohh, cool. I never saw any fully built when I was shopping for the frame.

You'll love it man, it's a lovely frameset in the flesh.

Nice! Have you ever ridden a Bullitt? How does it compare?

Yeah apparently they won't ship the full bike to the UK but anywhere was fine, which I found strange and frustrating.

But I'll take your word for it as your a man with good taste. This will be my first ever steel frame bike I've every owned and using it as my beater (naturally) ;)

Looking forward to your build! :)

Amazing bars on that concorde. They will be so comfortable.

Need some little things to get finished but I already like it !

New beater/rat

Made the purchase.

wonderful. excited to see how you build it up.

lol

Thanks, I am very excited.

Build thread here BTW

Yeah I know, may not look so bad. Tbh I'm kind of peeved about an NJS frame being subjected to this monochromatic hell. No pearl or metal flake.
In the frame future may think of a repray along with filling in some of the two larger dents.

Bahh don't mind me, I'm just been a nob. Frame looks good, what do the writings say/mean?

Yes. I asked that. Turns out it means kalavinka, was pretty embartesed.
From a term of Japanese I expected names to be done in a more simplistic script. Probably am soo wrong about the way Japanese works.

I'm thinking epoxy/resin or potentially the loctite they use to fit bearings? Some sort of filler/adhesive should give a good, secure and less bodge-ey fix than beer can...?

Thanks for the tip on the forks, it was the colour as much as the shape and clearances that caught my eye...

Wedlocked. On this

It's a very small ceremony ;) I'll tell you all about it next time I see you..

Thanks. Now I have the bike built, buskers amps and soundsystem sorted I feel almost relaxed.
