you need a new bike

It's a cycle speedway frame, not track. Clearance for days...

So that's the trick I've been missing - learning every day!

.

Here is a mongrel I've been working on. Feel free to refer me to the anti porn page. I've had a strange time fitting the headset. It didn't need pressing in - it clicked in using finger power. Rather worrying? There doesn't seem to be any play...

Cool frame, looks a lot like my Massi. What's the tubing?

And yours ?

the MBK is a Columbus Genius but have 3 Nemo ; )
Nice Massi.

@larsenroad @PhilDAS @Josh

Thanks to all, yes this whip is great fun..

@MisterMikkel Moto-CX is the new fixi, @voxelwise I know hydros are dope, but mechanical discs make things easier If one day I go for drop & shifters, and are strength enough for what I do.

@spotter Love your beater

Mine's Columbus Brain. Finished building it at the start of winter and not had a chance to put some proper miles on it yet, 20c slicks are pretty scary in the wet.

Thanks!

But this IS my new bike

ahh shit, was trying to help you by thinking of excuses to buy a new bike.

Haha, Thanks.

Any one gor any basic compact bars for sale? 44cm wide? Cheap, like £10 posted cheap?

Colour doesn't matter! Thanks

Not too hard to be precise on 11 sp with the friction shifter ?

Ready for Wales

Is that your homemade spray job?

'tis indeed

Damn that's nice.

Is that a no then?

Noice!!

Therefore less space between speeds less you need hand presision... A click and hop it changes without noise.
I had been thinking about it for a long time. This is formidable efficiency!

That came out great. Interested to see if the paint holds up, even if it doesn't, like most homemade paint jobs, it'll still look awesome. Good job.
