Current Projects chat and miscellany

He seems to think my apartment is Tokyo and he's Godzilla. The lock on my door is now broken and he's stealing my roommates coffee. I can't afford keeping him around much longer...

worst cat burgler ever.

Sounds like a good plan! And when you have enough funds you can still ask a frame builder if he can braze on a derailleur hanger and get it fully restored. Maybe try to find out the weight of the frame to determine the tubing. This might give you an idea whether it's worth to go down the full resto route.

Decided last minute to take this to France rather than my tourer so found the only tube of Mastik One in Norwich, got the cabling done and fitted a chain just before we left for London.

That's a beauty mate!

you can ride velodrome bikes on the street too.

call it a roadman.

I'm missing a nice steel 26'er. Anything around size 18"-20"?

This reminds me of the Netherlands. Every other month, Community workers come to collect previously marked abandoned bikes. I asked them what happens with the bikes and the guy said that some are auctioned off while the hopeless ones go to the scrapyard. I spotted an older Gazelle without wheels and asked the guy whether I could have it and he affirmed. So i turned it from this... to this. Cost me 10€ for a new chain, all the other parts are from the parts bin or donations from friends. Paintjob was done with a permanent marker :)

Sadly phil original paint i think will be long gone, the fact that you guys think it might be really rare makes me even more sad that the deraileur hanger has been cut off.

get over yourself, i never said any thing about being rare
i dated it a gave an opinion regarding cable guide braze
your a fool imho if you bought that, it's fucked imho since the hanger got cut of by some posturing twat who couldn't afford a proper colnago pista
now that's what i call sad

That's outstanding!

Not sure if you're qctually cranky or you're just trolling but I only bought it as a beater and not for lots so i dont really care.

maybe rare wasnt the right word but its still a colnago and feels pretty light (bar the fork) so it seems like an alright deal for me considering.

Also *you're

lol

not sure if your trolling
you made a sweeping statement regarding rareity which I made no statement about , I replied to a promt regarding authenticity and made no further comment

I was purely repeating what @Sig_Arlecchino had said regarding rareity. Anyway you're clearly angry about it for some reason so I shant bother you with it again but thanks for the info on its possible date of production.

not angry, just don't suffer words being put in my mouth
as it is per se, it will make a highly enjoyable ride

Sorry if my comment caused any confusion. I meant rare as in unusual, I don't know if it is collectible or not since I haven't seen any details and don't know anything about the tubing. What I do know is that we all love a good nag, so let's just agree on that :)

in days gone by I got bare hate for holding it up for ernie here

Im under no impression it would be collectable as even if it was its way past the condition of someone caring due to previous ~work~ done. whatever the reason/origin I quite like the top tube cable routing as it'll have to be carried up 3 flights of stairs after I move next week.

And @saarf alright, duely noted. Thats all I intend it to be!

I don't have a dog in this fight so, whatever :)
ed. what I do have is a new page fail :/

got a weird seat post size in the super cx , smaller than 27.2 , so may need a bottle of lfgss help sourcing one for a certain ride in October
