Isen workshop: adventures in batch production (or not...)

This thread needs more photos.

Of bikes. Not dildos.

PS The link here is only for the shims to bring the clamp down to 28.6mm, not the clamp itself.

Here is a rubbish picture of #030, build finished today.

Just a brief fettling ride this afternoon, proper (daylight, countryside) photo and report after the weekend's rides.

Campag H11 discs and mechanical groupset. DCR wheels (51mm rims, Bitex hubs). Radial mudguards.

9.2kg as you see it.

Yes, I will be cutting the steerer. Soon.

Those hoods look ... interesting ...

Was just saying I prefer the logic of going up not out.

The hoods do stick up...but on 15 mins riding so far it’s a nice position. Campagnolo puff says they are 8mm taller than usual

Hoods look alright, but the handlebars tilted up / low clamped hoods look a bit off. There are other bars out there if you like a flat transition.

We need an Isen ride.

That's some A-grade Scandi-minimalism.

10/Wallander

wallander is swedish

Should be Harry Hole for proper Norwegian-drunken-detectiveness.

I'm going on holidays to Bavaria next May with a bike.....

Any updates on di2 cable lengths required? 55cm frame preferably.

If not, my frame arrives Wednesday and I’ll use some string to measure it up and post back here. In the states currently so won’t be until the following week. Want to get my groupset on the way for when I come back hence why I ask.

should go in spotted, but #Isenworkshop going up the camden road this morning... ?

Isen 023 should be with me in the next few days...

Still can't find R8020 disc groupset in current stock.

Should I bite the bullet and go Di2?

Go di2 but you still can’t get the di2 rd8050 gs mech that can take a wide range cassette.

Mantel have the 8020 back in stock .

Thanks, will have a look at Mantel.

Vanilla bikes are showing stock of Di2 groupset with medium cage, I think...

"ALL SEASON ROAD FRAMESET BATCH II OF 30 FRAMES LAUNCHING ANY DAY."

Nope.

Dates wrong on my phone

What Scilly said. We finished building the first batch so SECOND BATCH IS NOW LIVE!?!?!?!?!?!

There will be a debrief on here once I've finished polishing. Needless to say there were plenty of fuck ups...
