Current Projects chat and miscellany

1x 4eva! Don't have a 1x equipped-road bike, but two other bikes are telling you - do it!

Really... I hate resellers.

Yep it will fit just fit bluemels 35's but no brazeons unfortunately so have to use p-clips.
How is your single chainring? I've only dropped it once when I shifted up the whole cassette, otherwise its been fine. I'd forgotten what a pain friction shifting is in heavy traffic though, id really like a trigger shifter so may have to switch to Shimano /sram at some point. Maybe theres a jtek shiftmate that would work

Up hill is definitely more of a challenge!

I need worry no more :)

Kuota Kalibur has a tapered head tube. Top is 1 1/8, bottom is 1 1/4 (as marked on forks/headset). Installed currently is a Stronglight semi-integrated headset. The forks are cracked on the carbon steerer. The headset is shot, needs replacing entirely.

I want to run 1 1/8 forks with Alu steerer.

Is the "Cannondale Synapse Alloy Lower Headset Reducer Cup Kit - KP172" correct for reducing a 1/4 to 1/8, to allow me a regular 1 1/8 threadless headset? It is half the price of the other reducers I have found.

Added Restrap diagonals, pizza rack & the forum favourite flite and inline post

Decals time.

Rad, what is this?

Old Rychtarski frame with new custom stem by Pi

Maan. Lusting for some lugged Max again..

New Road project!
@Glanton the paint is good and the welds are very neat. I got this for around usd 900 straight from colossi, included are Headset, seatpost collar, frame and full carbon fork.

ah very tempted myself. Definitely wanna see how this progresses.

Thought I'd give risers a shot

Need to cut down the steerer on the forks, and will probably swap out the black Seatpost for a silver one to match the stem

Overall though quite enjoying my first foray into fixed!

so good

Langster in dad mode

Holding up well, has dropped off a couple of times but not too bothered to look for an immediate fix. Still thinking about a slightly smaller front ring for trundling around town.

Great ebay pick up, wheres the original fork?

Am keeping it safe in my stash of bits and bobs :)

Looking good :)

How much do you find the seat affects the ride for you? Planning on using one soon but I'm a little concerned on how stable it will be and frankly a bit scared that bike & child are going to tip sideways.

I've only put it on so haven't gotten used to it yet. I had it much higher with no rack and the handling was awful. Lowered it and put the rack back on and seems a little better. It actually handles better with the kid in it. It flexes a bit which feels weird but acts like a shock absorber. The creche is only a few mins from my house so I'll be taking it very handy with him in it.

TLDR; It weighs a ton and handles like shit but the young lad loves it.

I have a full 6700 Specialized tarmac sl3...boom!

Just about finished with this. Hoods need replacing and have just stripped and repainted some Gipiemme Crono Special pedals. Also want to change out gear cable housing.
