Graham Weigh Track - Made by Paul Dohonue - Another Tiny Yellow Track Bike

that looks nice and slim too (German company)

Or for HSSB points...a carbon wrap Alter stem. But probably will go for nuts money :/

yeah had seen m after I posted.. lets try..

marktplaats?

Even that seems to have hipster tax these days :):)

But yes worth a try (and where I found Mr balk my yellow fluoro balk track)

Put it all together with help of Le Manfriend.

Well Sugino 75 + 111 token ISO bb + single speed shop 17t cog = chainline miles out.

Can't even cycle it, that much out. FFS.

Works with 107 JIS miche BB (heresy!) on Balk though. Off to measure and order new bb tonight. Grrr... :/

Known issue - Get a Centaur 111mm.

Tx, will do.

So: 111 ISO Token = too wide
111 ISO Centaur = ok?

How does that work, as spindles are same width and interface? :)

They're not the same.

2 pair of 75s, both spot on with Centaur 111mm

Thanks.

FFS,I am assuming if it says ISO it, eh, is ISO. No wonder it sits a mile out!

Tom Ritchey old BB also is ISO, I may give that a go and report back. Just £10 on e-bay and in 110 wide.

Well, here it is.

Needs new stem (need to work out fit, it's 10 on Mr Balk but there stem is higher, probably need 9 for a slammed stem) & too bad Nitto S65 doesn't seem to come in black in 27.0.

I'll see if somebody can ream frames, but not hopeful :)

Quite like it in silver. Bike looks nice.

Tx :)

@IR chainring arrived, thanks very much! I also haz stickers now, where to put them...

Took out the Token 111 "ISO" BB.
The Ritchey 110 ISO one should be here tomorrow...better luck this time I hope. Bah.

And on the road...(in work mode) the chain is very noisy, need to check if cog chainline/chain chainline (42mm) agree.

Now I need to make up my mind: Black post/cranks, silver post/chainring... It would be nice to have another fork, this one has clearance for 32 tyres, the original for 23 and it lifts the front quite a bit. One that can only 25 would be ideal, bit of room for the road and shouldn't lift the front as much.

Yeah, no, dunno... black/silver and silver have my pref... (seatposts are XTR ones, the black one is tricky to get for non rip-off prices, silver is easton alu, like the Dura Ace post and also tricky to get)

Phone bike shop but they can't ream to 27.2 too risky in 853.

High end vintage MTB or modern Ritchey it is then for a black post.

nice little bike!

can i add a suggestion? keep silver seatpost, get silver stem? it would look much classier.

silver cranks/hubsandspokes/seatpost/stem + black chainring/rims/saddle/bartape.

aka silver "inside", black outside

"U vraagt, wij draaien" ;)

With a silver mutant, I've a little ITM Eclypse too in the same size. But going to have to strip the tape off to get the bar through...so going to keep it like so for a bit until I'm sure what to do.

L: black ring, R: silver ring.

Now that it's comfier (shorter stem, seatpost up a bit, not a stupid heavy backpack) I'm beginning to see why these frames are so popular, it goes like a rocket.

haha!

i dont really like the droopydicklook of the mutant, but i think the eclypse would fit great. old school ahead without removable faceplate is a, uhh ballache though indeed. but pretty!

black chainring all the way. see previous comment.

i apologise for all that testosteron sprouting from the former comment. only just realised the unfortunate choice of metaphores...

It's hard to avoid with the shape of the stem :p

I've found an XTR post. It's the exact same as the NJS Easton ones (bar the branding obv...) so that's in the post.

I still wouldn't mind trying an alter but the odds of one in 9cm and not spending £100 aren't high...

Expect another update soon once the post is in I've found the patience to try to wrench the handlebars into the ITM which will be A Challenge.

Right, going to order another fork. Straight blades, 25c clearance (the All City 32 which lifts the front end by a cm...), and with a brake hole.

I'm thinking of Max or another aero shaped blade tubing.

That leaves the option of a crown or lugless/unicrown. I think a lugless style fits better, as the original fork was unicrown.

But as this is a CP fire away with ideas/comments :)
