Current Projects chat and miscellany

Steel quill stems are usually more flexible than alloy, Nitto jaguar excepted.

Cheers, Its 11 speed carbon athena. Its not really a standard build, specced up through a local bike shop.

looks fast mate, ride it like you stole it!

that's really, really nice.

New frame day, start to collect part.

Hi everyone, help needed!

I remember some time ago a fellow forumenger had a fixed gear bike with brakes, that everyone, incl. myself, sort of lusted after. It was pink (soft pink), and had black componentry, even carbon campagnolo crankset I think. Also (maybe) record carbon single speed brake levers.

Can you please help me find pic of that? Thanks in advance!

?

Thank you, but unfortunately no, these bikes are well known and do not belong to people on this forum. I'm just thinking now, the bike I'm looking for may have had only one brake (front), but two brake levers...

the second one does belong to a forumer. Was it steel?

could it possible have had no brakes and two levers ?

Ross doesn't come here too often, does he?..

.

YASSSS! spot on! is there a front pic where this came from? Who does this belong to? I'm sure it had carbon cranks at some point... thanks anyway man!

it belonged to @tomsvoboda and was sold iirc

That belongs to @superjoe

I crashed yesterday so broken hand means no riding for a while...took the caad 10 apart to inspect for damage and nothing thank God.

Whilst it's apart and I can't ride, I may paint it! I'm fine with painting alu, it's the carbon forks I'm worrier about.

Sad news. Let us know how/if the paint job goes.

carbon forks are an absolute ball ache to sand down. I can't recommend it.

Yeah I can definitely not recommend stripping paint from carbon forks.

Well then I guess I won't be painting carbon then. I can't say my caad has a bad colourway

don't trust the bedwetters ^^, stripping carbon forks is no problem. Just book a day off and bring your best sanding game.

p.s. glad your bike's alright and you're not too buss up

You don't need to strip the carbon if you're going to paint it anyway.
Just key the existing paint/laquor thoroughly and you don't need primer.
In my experience.

got some nos weinman canti's for the super cx resto, seem quite big irl

About time you got your teeth stuck into that one. Looking forward to the finished article. What else is going on it?

Cool stuff man!
