Current Projects chat and miscellany

Anybody know anything about this campy crank? I've spotted a few variations of similar designs on other cranks, not sure if they're custom engraving jobbies or if I can get my hands on a set. Ta

It's by

and it' custom, and slightly hideous. I imagine you could commission the same if you had too much money

for free? a lot!

jokes aside, that is super clean...

for free? a lot!

Design is free, manufacturing is a lot :-)

this is what I ended up doing, still bothers my OCD, but at least the sharpie hides some of the ugliness!

also, is there any reason putting the chain tugs on the inside of the track ends is a bad idea? the spacing seems to be 124mm, which is weird, and as these come in at about 2mm each the wheel slots in perfectly. Chainline now seems better too. @tommmmmmm did you ever notice the spacing being odd?

I do like the tugs, apart from doing what they're designed to do, they make removing the rear wheel far more difficult, good for locking up with just one lock around the frame and front wheel.

I am also plagued with this problem

Tempted just to cut the steerer and have done with it...

...who needs back and shoulders anyway.....

Pics not working for me.

now?

Yesh.

Slamdatstem or GTFO

I got some carbon 1" spacers which are thinner than those, but I think that was just luck and you are rarely able to find out before you get them.

I never noticed anything odd about the spacing and I used about 3-4 different rear wheels on it, but I sort of accept with steel frames that you might be squeezing them in a bit when you put a wheel in.

Do you have a complete bike pic for us?

Slamdatstem

Slammed wouldn't even change his fit if he flipped the stem, but upside-down logos would still set off his OCD

@ObiWomKenobi one of my 1" caps in black anodised would look pretty good on top of the stem, if you're interested subscribe to the thread where I'll announce next time there's anodising to be done.

Just need a rack to complete the look.

Slowly updating the Fuji, salvaged some risers off an old lady's town bike in my shed, they feel pretty wide at 67cm. Can anyone recommend to me a super cheap brake lever to use with a caliper brake?
