LOL

Silver post would look nice too

?

Hell yeah

Le Carrera tu vas y arriver un jour.

Hello!

Got this bike in an eBay auction with a bunch of terrible parts on it.

I've built it up with stuff that was lying around but have no real direction. Please suggest some things for it.

The frame has campagnolo dropouts and so does the fork. Also has a campagnolo pista headset. Reynolds 531 tubing. Drilled front and rear, yet still tight clearances.

What do you think I should do?

Ride it? Maybe silver seatpost and chainring

What do you think I should do?

Hold a chicken in the air
stick a deckchair up your nose
buy a jumbo jet
and then bury all your clothes

Paint your left knee green
then extract your wisdom teeth
form a string quartet
and pretend your name is Keith

Skin yourself alive
learn to speak Arapahoe
climb inside a dog
and behead an Eskimo

Eat a Renault Four
wear salami in your ears
casserole your Gran
disembowel yourself with spears

Found it works better if you use a polearm for the last stage actually.

My Pashley Pronto is going 8 speed.

I still need a rear roller brake assembly if anyone has a spare one

I think I have one somewhere in case noone local can sort you out. Yours for postage costs, I'll check it's not too expensive as I'm in Sweden.

Practical Cycles sells them so I will just get it from them.

Wheel is ready to go when I get the roller brake assembly.

Also building something nice for @AlphaOmega next week...

This is nice.

It reminds me that I should get a T3 or T4. Not sure the T1 would be enough of an upgrade from what I've got but they look great.

they look great.

Aside from the price, I went with the Look 464 over the T1 because I find the latter ugly. Different strokes...

Matter of taste perhaps, but I also think they look better in the larger sizes where you can see the blocky headtube bit.

Really enjoying these new 35c gumwalls, grips finally gave up so im on the hunt for nice locking ones, maybe coloured as opposed to black, a nicer seatpost and maybe a volta saddle

Sweet jesus

Yeah think youre right, needs a silver seatpost, really hate the colour so thinking of re spraying it but what do you guys think?

Just a beater currently.. feel like it deserves more

What's the purpose of this machine?

Konas are sweet! I can't really tell from the pics, did you go narrow-wide setup or regular?
