Current Projects chat and miscellany

It didnt need fixing. But thanks.

Yeah cockpit need an upgrade, not sure that titanium bits will be better, maybe a basic Pearl ?
Any suggestion ?

Grammo or 2A X Pista 44cm ...1R black and Soma HYone
PS:MP

Itm krystal?

I just finished building this two weeks ago. Both hydraulic disc bakes and Force 1 were a first for me.

The brakes performed briljantly so far. Way better than the cantilever brakes and mechanical disc brakes I used so far.

Sram Force 1 was not so great unfortunately. On both races on muddy courses I did so far the chain filled up with mud (obviously) which resulted the chain to come off the teeth and drop. I wasn't able to finish either race. Could this be because I am running a KMC X11 EL chain instead of a SRAM chain? Or do I need to get a chain guide?

Italmanburi/pro chrome/Grammo/Pinocchio?

Or even just a pearl yeah.

How do you treat your chain? Just lube?

I wax mine, and it kept it relatively clean in pretty muddy conditions on my recent trip to Germany.

There is no evidence that Albert Einstein ever said or wrote anything of that nature..

Pretty sure it was something Oscar Wilde said to Mark Twain, or vice versa.

removed DA from Basso, overhauled brakes, headset, BB, Chain set + R Derailleur. Need to get clamp on 7402 FD, clean chain, sprockets, both wheels + true, fit cables.


Anyone wanna trade seatposts?

Lovely bike, how are you finding the fork?

Wrong, was Maya Angelou’s dying words. But she was actually quoting Dorothy Parker.

I hate the bar tape and the saddle needs sorting but I'm otherwise pretty happy with this

That ^ was what I had in mind when frame shopping for this v. Not really sure where the build is going, but we're nearly there now.

That looks rad! Almost bought a pink Ciöcc last year, still hate myself a bit for not getting it.

Does any one know if I have one of these milled down from 27.2 to 27.0 will i still have my backside in one piece or is it dangerous?

I was looking for a large, Italian frame with silly paint and this really ticked those boxes

what's the weight limit on the post? And how far is it gonna be in your frame?

What's the frame material?

I’m not sure on weight limit of post but I weigh 91kg and it will be half way in the frame

Frame is 90s Columbus Aelle.

if I have one of these milled down from 27.2 to 27.0

27.0 inline seat posts can be bought ready made, why go to the trouble, expense and potential risk? If you must break out the lathe, don't go below 2.5mm wall thickness unless you really know what you're doing.
