Current Projects chat and miscellany

I would drape myself in velvet if it was socially accepted.

ha I knew that would peak your interest.

Got some Nitto B352 Albatross bars for my Land Shark. I bought it a few years ago from the States and got it delivered a few months ago (longest delivery ever but what you gonna do). It was mistakenly listed as a 57 tt but turned out that it was 60cm. Initial plan was to replace the matching (overkill) 13cm stem and put a modern group on it but the tt dictated the current bar set up. No regrets though as it's super comfy and I already have 3 road bikes.

I've got some bar end shifters in the garage somewhere and am thinking of replacing the mtb brake levers with some more discrete silver ones or just stripping the paint from these. A blue/yellow harlequin bar wrap might happen at some point as well.

That paint! Amazing

absolute madness 10/10

The Spinergy xaero wheelset came with the bike and the plan has been to replace it with a silver low profile box section set but it has started to grow on me, partially because it's super light and more importantly because I don't really want to spend any more cash on this bike atm.
Just to be clear, I'm fully aware that this build is not to everyones taste and that it'll end up in anti in a heartbeat but...meh, sometimes you just gotta stick with it & keep it weird.

might not be to everyone's taste, but to me it's 10/10. absolutely fuckin wicked

anyone who doesnt like this is borin.

i'd be petrified to have that even stored in my house let alone riding it. Fuckin' masterpiece, deserves a glass box

Wow that Land shark is super rad! Shame about the mess up on the tt lenght but good job on making it work for you. Would of done the same thing too nice to pass it on!

Also changed up thing's on my Harry hall and Nagasawa, Saddles, chainrings, bartape and wheelsets. Both feel great happy days.

@countryboj that Harry Hall oof. Are those rims TB14's?

Thanks, Yep they are TB14's.

Stunning.

That's so bloody rad. I love it.

Love it. Needs a combination of ourys...

my cervelo workbeater feels done, got my new bars today some lowend zipp service course 80.

I really should get around to putting an MTB RD on my road bike, I've had one set aside for the purpose for about a year now.

and some better pics of the lock-outside-bullshit-pubbike-cruiser :)

it works great, i jump alot on that bike and i have never lost the chain.

1x10, x9 and NW frontring is bombproof without any chainguard.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Yeah the paint is rad @haveo, there was a tandem for sale a while back with the same style. It's my first 853 frame and I keep on thinking that it would be killer as a road bike but what ya gonna do. As @countryboj wrote it's too nice to pass on.
Well that's kinda subjective and it still needs some tweaks @BlesUp but thanks man. It's special but not that special @B0N0R haha (not entirely sure that you meant that tbh).
@TM really? I was thinking cloth tape for a cleaner look. Nice and simple.

Cervelo is lookin' much better E.

You have a pretty rad collection of bikes man. Muy impresionante.
