Current Projects chat and miscellany

but I've never been a guy who likes to blend in ;)

Standard fizik softtouch.

Does anyone has a recommendation for 26'' suspension forks for my MTB? With 100mm travel and for a disc brake. The bike isn't that great so I don't want to spend too much money on it. Around 250 euro or so.

Haters gonna hate.

Ah that's a shame, but fair enough. What's your track bike now? Still on the Nelson but with new forks? Gonna try to make an effort to get along regularly but we'll see how that pans out. New cranks coming (Stronglight 2000s currently cheap from PX).

Gonna try a different set of wheels on the fork, as the guy who sold me them reckons he was running 23s with loads of clearance. Also found Vittoria 20c Open Corsa Evo tyres in the PX sale (also yellow/black to match the current tyres). Gumwalls would look good, but will depend on what'll fit in the fork.

Mudguards are fit

Rebas

I don't see why not. After all most of the load is still in the rear wheel.

@HoKe, you know there is more expensive bar tape out there?

Arggh, everytime I see this bike...If you ever sell....

Build an old Italian frames with part from the Genesis Volare.

Not too bad.

Tidy build. Shame your saddle has melted, must be the weather we've had recently.

Still miffed about the bent dropout then?

Nice Ed. is that the Pilsbury Doughboy hanging from you saddle?

Your a bent dropout

Nelson is hanging on the wall. In bits, not getting used. Need to figure what to do with it.

Brooklyn is everything, getting used all the time.

And bought a cannondale road bike, but not sure I am into it. Think it might be too big not sure.

Gangsta looks great.

Was yours the white, red and blue Nelson?

Perhaps it felt big because the saddle is set way back with an in-line post?

The Cannondale seat tube look really slack compare to your Cannondale.

short chain is short ; )

nice race frame Ed !

I dunno, ed. To my eyes, the Cannondale seat tube looks identical to the Cannondale seat tube.

Yep thats the one.

Looked like this before I took it apart.

@edscoble entirely possible, will be getting an inline post. I have dropped the seat a bit since the photo but still feel like my legs are stretched out too much mainly. I think I would prefer a size down with a bit more seatpost and drop down to the bars.

Plan is to get a more agressive quil stem to drop the front down a little bit then see how I like it. Need to tune the gears up too, first time with gears and I am a complete novice. Top and bottom gears work fine but middle ones skip on the up change (not on way down).

Strong point.

I remember that bike from back in the day when I had a Dolan in a similar colour scheme.

The right quill could look good on that Cannondale. Something chunky like a Pro Chrome.

Cannondales come up large, you need a size smaller
