Easy to put the miles on a nice bike...

Putting tt bike back into tt mode was the easy bit. Riding laps of business park on shakedown just now was immense.
Now the engine needs some work.

When I got it ( years ago) had 3t pro-chrome stem with giro d'it. Now cinelli and criteriums.

Sorry for terrible photo. Frame has loads of tar and chips and overdue a clean..

Does anyone know where I can get a 11 speed 6 bolt rear disk hub 135mm spacing?

It's been ages since I've had any bike business going on. Now that I do it's not particularly exciting, apart from the bubbling, frothing aluminium as my new Langster Steel says goodbye to an old stuck seatpost.

Soon it will be saying hello to beater life and the LFGSS track day, as long as the fizzing is successful. Already have some incredibly ugly cranks to put on it.

Good(bad) tip:
Pour crystals in, followed by water from a freshly boiled kettle. It works way faster.

Stand way back.

Actually don't do any of that.

My 3 year project has come to an end... for the meantime anyways ;-) -

Didn't you just sell a track bike...

Sell non-beater
Buy beater
Buy garden shed
???
Profit

Fair

Is that the plastic Kashimax Aero?

If so — how's it comfort wise?

New thing

Neat.

I like the colour. Understated, but goes well with the silver components.

Thanks and yeah that's what i wanted, clean and simple, you can spot my Vivalo a mile off

Interested to see what you do with this, not many steel langsters on the forum

not many steal langsters on the forum

I would hope that not many on this forum steal any kind of bike.

Not quite quick enough with the ninja edit there, @birofunk :-)

Oooh, busted

Freudian slip?

Ugh crappy WiFi I tried to edit straight away! Busted

I'm not planning anything major or good looking. I will take a picture of the cranks to illustrate the latter point soon.

Finito:

Cunning use of angle to disguise scobel stack from hell?

Ugly cranks.

I don't think they're actually that ugly, but I also don't think they're necessarily suitable for a steel track build.
