Bought some white decals on eBay and thinking about cutting a brass headbadge... Giving that nostalgia porteur feel...

Excellent idea

Thank you ;-)
I am getting a bit to excited about this bike. It is supposed to be the beater.
Bought new Blumels 65mm mudguards today. Also looking for semi slick tyres for it. Oh well..

Finally got this built up, next in line is sourcing parts for my thorn audax build

Where did you get the large blumels?

I'm excited for touring

Search eBay for 65mm Blumels. 25gbp inc shipping I think.

@spotter me too. I have even brazed extra bottle cage bosses on the under side of the downtube for fuel :-)

Hi all, in the middle of building a planet x pro carbon fixed road monster. but im in a bit of a dilemma... wondering how to sell my old bike ? its a No Logo fixie with a flip flop hub, been riding for about 2 years and its still in good condition, do i sell it in bits or do i sell it as a whole ?

No Logo fixie with a flip flop hub

Don't sell it; kill it with fire.

Where are you off to?

south london isn't that bad

Are you saying this map is wrong?

You know I would never argue with scientific fact. I'm just saying that not all dragons are bad.

As Horatio is my cat (almost) said, swap "London" for "Work", and "Here be dragons" for "Home" and it's pretty much correct.

This has recently landed in Jangleland:

It's a Detto Pietro. The frame is lovely - tubes are Gilco same as a Colnago Master, and there are Pantographs all over - if you like that sort of thing.

Components are a bit of a mish-mash, particularly the drive-train which appears to be composed of 7, 9 and 10 speed parts. Should be fairly easy to sort out though.

Nice! Wasn't aware they made anything other than leather shoes.

I believe the shop is still going.

I'm obviously going to have to buy a pair of the shoes now!
