For my Pinarello have to warm up my driller

Any idea about the frame manufacturer? I know it's a shit build but I have the chance to buy this for a good price.

hardest paint i ever stripped..

At first I thought it was the 26'' bike...

Getting decals? You need the 853 sticker for sure!

Yes logos, vinyl or Von Sven freehand!

853 for sure!

Well now that you said Von Sven it's gotta be him. No brainer. 100% awesome and unique.

As long as he doesn't sneak a BLBC on there.

haha no way!

Didn't you have some Mavic 3g trispokes?

no :^)

Here is my current project, typical track frame except clearance for bigger tyres and bottle cage mounts. I understand its not everyone's cup of tea but I wanted something a bit tankish. On the lookout for a fork that will fit 40c. Its not gonna have the most bling parts, just nice parts.

Tyre shown is 35c

rat bike/parts bin build for a new messenger colleague - 44x16 single speed Gazelle Champion Mondial. looks awful, rides perfectly (bar angle sorted now btw)

any cyclocross fork

Would u say a traditional cyclocross fork would be better than say a surly steamroller fork? Mainly in regards to rake? I want to keep the wheelbase quite tight, and don't know much about cyclocross bikes. Thanks

Do you know the a2c length of the fork that was originally intended to be used?

ace

A2C is important. Putting a CX length fork on, e.g. a Pompino really messes with the geo IMO - try and find a Pompino fork cheap and strip the paint? All City Nature Boy fork is another (neater looking) option

Sorry to spam the current proj's forum... My friends bike was stolen last week, does anyone have a complete (or almost complete) single speed bike in the region of 54 - 56cm they would be willing to sell on? his budget is between £100-200. If so please PM me :).. Ta!

Woi!
Dis ting is fat! Get a CX fork maybe? Or a Charge Scissor or similar

that looks great! want..

Very very very far from awful. I mean, I've made some awful conversions but this one is at least decent for sure.

orlowski custom, ca 100£ free spec

Putting a CX length fork on, e.g. a Pompino really messes with the geo IMO.

Wait, what?

I have a charge scissor fork going if you're interested
