So- I've been accruing a parts bin the size of a cupboard recently.
Isens 005+006- 53cm for the wife, 55cm for the poser.
She's slowly been riding more- influenced by a friend, and so this came about at a perfect chance to buy an anniversary present that she didn't really want, and to hopefully spur on more rides together- I am forever the optimist. Both are going to be built with SRAM eTap HRD, and probably on 650b wheels (and mudguards) - because- why not, though I have a lovely set of tarty deep discs in the spares pile.
A while ago- I brazed a frame- see later post for full write up- which I finally took over to @coldharbourt to assess(thank you) and paint (even more thank you)- and it has come out super fucking exciting. Again- thinking 650b wheels, and will have swept back bars, 1x from the spares cupboard (or maybe fixed), and hopefully a super functional thing for my now very dull commute across to Whitechapel.
The old Geekhouse lives on a farm and is fucking fantastic in everyway. Its pretty much done, but will at some point over/ after winter need to go for a rust assessment and re-spray with some additional bits brazed on.
The 3T looks like the below photo, lives on a farm and may well end up being sold- despite continually being fun.
The Talbot will now shift to becoming my Race/Summer/posing bike. It has the Deeps all set up and perfect with stupid fluro bar tape (which I'm probably going to swap to black) and is totally, 100% the only bike I actually need.
Anyways: photos attached. Don't expect many updates. I'm shit at that.
