Current Projects chat and miscellany

Oops, got you confused with the guy with the somec track. Soz!

Any recommendations?

Can you elaborate...?

When you feel the need to start a new project centred around a stem.

Ok. Any tester approved disc brake cleaner or recommendations?

Was my local club before moving to London. Yes still in use and info on training sessions can be seen here.

Works for me

The fenwicks stuff works well and smells amazing when used in enclosed spacesz

Extreme makeover done. Next step will be to dress it up with some fenders and racks :)

Teasing is obligatory @Josh. You know this! Anyway here is the full frame / fork pic that the seller posted @russmeyer, @tommmmmmm.

Dude! I was stoked that more people didn't bid on this @haveo. I guess it's the lack of decals. I love the fact that it's a bit beaten up and is chromed underneath the paint. If it turns out to be in the described condition (no rust/dents/dings) I'll order a set of Atari Art decals, the blue ''pixellated'' style ones.

New forks for my macho man thanks @Hulsroy

Excellent work

Yeah new decals for the somec will be awesome!!

I was keeping my eyes on that as well but the seller quoted me 170$ for shipping to Germany. Add taxes and import duties and it still would have been reasonably priced but not a mega bargain + the obligatory too many bikes atm etc etc... Congrats on the frame, you should start a cp thread!
Some slave inspiration below but you can do better than that :)

p.s. more overseas somec pista goodness: http://www.ebay.de/itm/272398354647?euid=671034d9ad8a4ff6900e3f969c0829d8&bu=44509830831&cp=1&sojTags=bu=bu

Took my first step into the world of tubulars and bought some Cosmics off @kng

Need to now decided on a groupset for this. Thinking Dura Ace 7410? Or maybe 9 speed...

Shitty phone pictures as normal.

Impressive makeover! Very well done!

Gorgeous!

Still think the original paint was better, in a 'so terrible it's great' kinda way

Winter beater.... Sans mudguards

Frame bought from @TheArchitect to long ago.

DA 7410 is a great groupset !

Late night screwfix run on a borrowed whip

Thanks Tom.

Yes I could have got a set of singlespeed cranks. Although looking on the transmission database thread showed the Shimano 600 cranks as a viable option.

So shimano 600 FC-6207 double chairing cranks, mounted onto a 103mm Token carbon BB. With a single velosport chairing as the outer ring, I've got a chain line of 41.60mm

259g lighter than the FSA cranks and BB. That's also going from 42t to 44t

Sorry for not replying earlier @tommmmmmm. Just google/youtube reseting hydraulic disc brakes. It's pretty straightforward & may be the solution, I can't be sure though. If you use a screwdriver wrap it up with some electrical tape first though.

Gimme that frame back ;)
