too old for riding fixed / collector mode on

Couple of tweaks to my Geekhouse. Playing full hipster bingo. I'm actually enjoying commuting on the knobblies like a square.

Fiiiiit I should get done of those forks and brakes for my macho man

paint stem and fork decals to match the geekhouse green... gwarnnnn

so good

Geekhouse is rad.
As @MechaMorgan said. Dooooo it

Was thinking of getting it all sprayed olive drab at some stage, a la Prolly obvs.

Cross post from Bikes and Bits as this is urgent, any help would be appreciated:

Where in the UK will have an in stock 58cm Nature Boy Disc frameset in stock? Apparently stock is running low.

Charliethebikemonger don't have one in stock although their website says they do, triton don't have one either. Where else might have one? Sort of urgent as its for my Dads birthday in a week. Thanks

Failing that, anyone know of a disc brake single speed cross frameset with a non-garish paintjob that I could buy in London this weekend?

I mean, you could use a Straggler. Probs not what you're after tho

Cotic roadrat? Singular something maybe

I know it's not disc but it is 58cm and an all city nature boy...

Looks decent actually, not sure how I missed it when researching. Why do you think its not what I'm after? Bit OP for its intended use?

^^^^

Could try http://www.singlespeed.nl

Perhaps not quite the same vintage, but the day one disk decade looks smart IMO.

You have to buy the whole bike, but could flog/utilize the parts and be in a decent place. If you buy it here, you also get £100 worth of extra stuff free.

Current Run-around. Many thanks @Antidotes

Nice! Needs 2x derailleurs, shifters and brakes tho.

:P

Literally spent the whole day building this, but everything is just right.

One annoying thing is brake clearance at the back is really tight, only just fit a 28c in there, was planning on 28s and guards. Considered moving the bridge but don't want to spoil the paint. May have to run 23s in the winter...

Anyway, feels great, even bashing around the woods it felt solid.

You've really come through with that build man.

Very strong page all around.

proper lush

needs woundups

Looks great. Happy with the pelago rack?

Cheers. I've not pushed it too hard but yeah would say satisfied overall with the rack, not blown away, but satisfied.
