also
pics soon of alan cx v campagnolo nuovo 1x6 progress very soon

the silver thing in the back needs to be in epic fail still

Found this in hard rubbish. Two days of clean up .
New tires and tubes $40
New cables $35
New chain $10.
Loads of elbow grease getting surface rust off of chrome bits. Its still a bit of a piece of shit but was a cute little project and cool to keep it from being scrapped.

Nice find!

Very nice. Needs some more pink! What's the frame in the back?

What's the frame in the back?

that's a radiator.

Chromed radiators are nice.

@Jingle_Jangle Is there a spare room for frame building in the new offices??

frame at back is 77 colnago

Got this hand me down for christmas:

Way less character, and hideous suspension corrected fork, but disc brakes and mudguards will make life easier.
The ratty Luongo had a bit of a headcrash a long time ago, making handling when slippery very exciting. And a lot of its parts are on the way out. Will keep it running, but more as a poser rat.
Orange thing will get fatter tires, sweeping bars, a front rack and eventually dnamo lighting. Hope I get used to those mtb brifters, they are a bit stupid.
Not sure about the colour. I kind of like it, but its somewhat visible for a bike that will be locked up?
Already invested in a bigger lock, but am thinking about one quick layer of black.
Also the first time making hydraulic work again. Compared to fiddling old cantis, its one big improvement.

I am lol.

Winterbike project

Really nice, can't wait to see more!

Mine that I use for delivery

And v2 of my Alain Michel

nice frameset

I'm jealous.

What size?

Not yet, but there may be soon.

I've been at Enigma all week building another frame. It's more or less finished. I will post some more pictures when I am back in the first world.

Looks good. I'm heading down there in February to build my second bike. Although the first one was a balance bike, which is cheating a bit.

its 56 c-c square.
Lucky to fit 35c tyres. Rear end still needs some fine tuning, but ive been riding it jus fine for half a week now.

Prepare yourself for Geoff moaning a lot!

About anything in particular, or just generally?

Very nice

You bought it in Belgium? Exactly the same was for sale here in the neighbourhood and I was very tempted...

He's in training for the World Miserableist Championships.

Too small? https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/279043/#comment12708147

Yeah, but thank you. Just bought a Roadrat size L on here which will arrive next week :-)
