Current Projects chat and miscellany

Got into to road bikes and because I was studying I couldn't afford to have a bike collecting dust. Haven't ridden fixed since, but I am keen now.

Custom in terms of paint scheme and the 1-1/8" HT/carbon fork (which is not standard on the Leggenda). The geo is theirs.

I finished my new fixei beik

I'd like to hear your views on these proposals
seatpost, headset, stem, saddle...

Big box of FBNPNA being brought home for a touring/allroad/winter/whatever build. Expect VSF Fahrradmanufaktur, Alfine, tubus, and a Cobblr Gobblr.

I'd narrow it down to seatpost and headset.
Ti seatpost to match the stem, and a CK headset in any colour that you fancy most. My personal preference would lean towards brighter ones or a mash up of different ones like @TM did on his Donohue.

In fact, after double checking the headset. I'd keep that too, unless it's trashed.

Maybe get logos of the stem, but otherwise, nothing else.

Put a single narrow/wide chainring on the LOOK for hill climb season. Down to 6.8kg. I'll replace the saddle with a 96g Chinese carbon number on race day, should shave off another 50g.

This is perfect. Leave as is. Next bike!

I like these.

These what ?

Tijs, true that the eclypse stem is stiffer than the Status...
the black controltech seatpost is cool IMO...The campy is not bad eaver

Looks fast

I like the black post too. Maybe the eclypse stem+black post?

Got some steerer there and a top cap that can go too.

Phenomenal packaging ;)

Flickr is funny about embedded linking :/

Though Indra got it to work on his build thread :)

You're right about the steerer @Sumo, been meaning to do that for ages. It's got a magic headset so the top cap is just a plastic cover and there's no bung.

I'll need the drops for going down hill @umop3pisdn so they stay.

You don't walk down hills? Weirdo.

You probably don't need all those spokes either, or all those chainring bolts

Or all those gears...

Can anyone suggest a relatively classic road handlebar to fit to a fixed steel frame? Want to be able to run a pair of brakes and assume a road bend will be more appropriate than a track one to get a proper position on the hoods and be able to brake from the drops.. Bike is a 90s Condor.

Deda Speciale is cheap and classic drop.

why not the same handlebar that you have on your road bike with the same brake lever position?

No issues there other than aesthetics. I was wondering more if there is a bar with a road shape that wont look to out of place on a genuine track frame.
