Current Projects chat and miscellany

Stem is a POS... Only on there to hold the forks in... Will use my salsa , or a 1 1/8" depending on bars I guess... Put it on like that so it doesn't hit top tube if it spun round

Just collected this. Gonna be fitted with risers. Just missed out on some carbon thomsons :(

Sorry for the late reply.

It's too lovely for me to hang the battered old parts I've got lying around on it again but at the same time the £££ and motivation isn't there to get nice bits.

My Ti road project. Plans are sram 1x with a 44t and 11-32 cassette and 46cm cowbells. Im a sucker for mock-ups :D

Theres a crack in the chainstay that needs repairing, but i think its got potential!

Update to my commute-o-cross, 40c tyres, TRP CX8.4 brakes, better pedals and a mini rack for my basket.

As you can see, not fabulous mud clearance, Fantastic stopping power though.

Arms too wide apart ;)

Nice frame, but isn't Ti welding expensive/hard?

That what she said.

Yea it's both. I got a hold of Chris Dekerf back in Vancouver, and he actually quoted the job to 100 CAD (bout 60 pounds). Hopefully i can get it done for something close to that in Denmark. I got a hold of a local guy who has repaired bike frames before, and used to build titanium wheelchairs. Just need to find the time to fit it in cuz i want to see it happen! :D

Do tell me your plans for getting them closer without the pads touching the rim. Also I can lock the back wheel with ease already, so does it matter?

is there a little ring on the noodle guide, covering the t of trp? what is this as I think I could do with one.

Go to your local bearing shop and ask to see their range of o-rings

Thinner pads only saviour .. if they work well don't bother. Modulation ok?

Haha indeed, it did take you some time to get back... :))
Which year is the frame? I have some cool wheels and drive train for sale, I could give you a reasonable discount for such a lovely build. Just a thought

Dude, the brake is fine, sometime the arm a little apart, sometime not.

The extreme case was the Brooklyn, but that's about it.

got rid of some of the stickers, cockpit , post and saddle will go next

What clampsize? I might be interested if Thrust isn't.

31.8. Reminds me I need to hunt for postage quotes

That steamroller is perfect! Nice work, I especially like the rack design.

Nice. I really enjoy riding mine.

Thrust's out. £15+p&p and it's yours

Putting the new rack through its paces. Was great to ride, no problems. Was still able to track stand with the rack loaded, albeit with a lot of wobbling.
Was all prefect until 2 mins from home and the bungee hook punctured the tub..... Poor packing on my half, fucking annoying though... Any way to save the tub?
