Current Projects chat and miscellany

Rode to windsor today with a few mates who aren't on here. They wanted me to share their builds:

Kaz's Killer brother:

Jack's Hoy:

My MissMASH:

Then outside Windsor castle as you do :)

HHSB is that way >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Is that a huge dent in the TT?

Here is my peugeot. The frame is a racing team in reynolds 653, with shimano dura ace bits except for the 600 cranks and mavic ssc brakes :)

Nice builds all around, top is nicest I reckon though. Any idea what the bars are?

Tell them that if they want forum props, they need to pay their dues.

Haha Cheers all. Yeh mash has a fat dent in the tt :)

we have to make a team ; ) What are this seat post and the rims there?
love the sintesi pedals, is it strong A9 headset ?
This is a shame that the turbo does not have titanium rails...
You need a titanium coulour stem or someting to match with the seatpost IMHO

Mine full mawic
.

Cheers Gaston!

I had seen your bike, it's really magnifique, I wish I had a complete mavic groupset but it's such a pain to find :/

The seatpost is a pmp, rims are good old open pro and the headset is a stronglight indeed.
Pedals are not sintesi but cambio Rino!

I don't know about the stem, I tried a gunmetal one to match the seatpost but I prefer this one...

nice build, and what's the hubs ? I knew that I was a PMP I'm fond of this brand.
Cambio Rino are nice bits also...
For the gunmetal stem between 2 solutions, always prefer the third one ; )
Meilleurs veux Meconium.

Ah ah thanks Gaston, bonne année :)
Hubs are ultegras, but I have a nice set of 7400 hubs, hyperglide version. I'm planning on building them on silver open pros.

Finished painting a pair of Time forks to match my Trek frame. Quite happy with the result! Frame is now HHSRB ready.

Came out great!

9 points for style

Hah! I was thinking about mounting them left to right instead of right to left. Might swap just for the extra style point.

@wasFederal thanks!

It's all about #widebarwednesday now anyway.

looks great

New frame arrived today and I was all very excited until I found out that the rear dropouts are 110mm and for narrower axles... Seller failed to mention this... What are my options?

file the axle and stretch a 120 in there. Is an option

"kierin spacing" so some njs hubs as well as Phil

What are my options?

Replacing the thick aluminium nuts on a Novatec with thin steel ones from the parts bin should get you pretty close

Hmm really didn't want to have to buy/build a new wheel, this was meant to be a parts bin build. Looks like filings and stretching will be the way forward. Would I've able to replace the locknut on this for something thinner?

Not by enough to actually make it fit properly, you don't really want to go below about 4mm thick for any of the threaded parts. Plenty of people have been fine with springing frames out by 10mm, so unless you're actually going to get down to 110mm and make the hub slide in, it's not worth dicking about trying to find a few millimetres.

Picked this up earlier today for roughly 20 pounds.
Any ideas where to go with this? I'd say it's got some HHSMTB potential. Been thinking about dropbars, bigger tires.

Already got some old Shimano MX30 pedals to ditch the current goofy spd ones.

Any ideas are highly appreciated, inb4 removing the "tit" from the decals.
