Current Projects chat and miscellany

I've got a break bridge (it's not really a track frame), so a calliper will fit.

don't really need 3 bottle cages (these ugly ones are gonna be replaced with kings down the line). 1x750ml and a tool bottle should be fine. now the inline post is on and saddle position is fine, I think I will go back to silver 120mm/-10 degree stem, but other then that it is finished for now!

I love Scapin steel frames :)
Here's my Scapin with "her" classic wheels

This is too perfect.

Lol yeah exactly

WIP.

Thanks to @Netakure for the pedals. This bike needs a bit more work but is done enough for the time being.

Argos is good

Awesome. Would love to own if you ever get bored of it!

Whats the tubing?

Thanks, Argos is coming on well.

The Raleigh on the other hand is a bit of dogs dinner!

Thanks. I will bear that in mind. The paint is pretty bad in places (mainly the bits where it has been "touched up"), so it might be an interesting restoration project for someone in the future. The tubing is Columbus Matrix.

yeap ;)

Paint looks great from here

After over a year of abstinence I've bought a bike again. It's going to be something I can lock up everywhere and ride throughout the year. Needs bare tape and new brake outers. New tyres are in the near future, and after that I'll see what's next. Fenders, maybe. Clipless pedals if I'm going to use it for training, maybe. A slightly more modern crank and a 1x setup, maybe. Riser bars to be on trend, maybe. And a new saddle, for sure.

The 2 speed kick shift hub would be your only option? it feels pretty naff compared to a nice track hub with a nice freewheel, plus you could just change your gear ratio if you're climbing

paint looks wicked.

Argos track, dat turbo heeeee !nice !
Dat rossin frame ....
Stong page !

Another shameless "new tyres = project" update. A gum wall upgrade for the Ron now that Corsa G+ are a reasonable price. 25c plenty fat enough for this skinny frame, and it may have something to do with spending the last week on a fully loaded tourer but they really do feel great.

Is the general consensus that the Corsa G+ is too fragile for daily, and even year round, riding?
Seems a shame to get rid of the Pave and replace it with something lacking like-for-like performance.

I'll give you an update when I've got a few miles in them, but these tyres are unlikely to see anything other than dry roads if I can help it.

Got all the bikes cleaned and renewed. Even put a new BB in the Mash, only took 4 years and 0 services to need replacing...
