Current Projects chat and miscellany

This one at condor is basically mine, unfortunately as most of the forum stated that mudguards are most needed with this bike

It’s keyed ready for paint ;)

trick! : )

MkII... gonna see how it goes next week at the shop.

Looking at the reach of those calipers I anticipate braking will be interesting. Sheldon Brown found the answer for his Raleigh Twenty if you haven't seen it.

Niiiiiice. Yea that was gonna be my next challenge after being sure drivetrain/etc was good. Easy stuff first, brakes last.

Current WiP not far from finished. Ignore the saddle, pedals and steerer, got a black carbon aspide in the post. Lots of parts-bin on it right now: wheels I want to replace with something a little deeper and I don't really like the fork, I think a Columbus Futura or something similar would look a lot better. Probably black tyres rather than gumwalls too.

Not really because there isn't enough space for a drill and dont think theres much more meat on the bridge for a larger hole. Also the washers would need to be drilled out more too and I cba.

Its ended up like this -

How necessary are brake adjusters? got given the brakes, one adjuster was lost in transit and the other just didn't come with one.

First ride after matching shoes and tape with the bike.

Best for fine tuning rather than using an allen key. Cheap generic adjusters - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PAIR-M6-6mm-Brake-Cable-Barrel-Adjuster-Bolt-Screw-Nut-Cycle-Adjusters/300966718240?epid=1488243029&hash=item461303ab20:g:MOcAAOSwUlFaqWHm

So cool !

:)

Nice!

( sort that bartape finishing tho )

Red or Black bartape ? or this
for my Sunn ?

Blanc!

Don't know why I didn't think to look on ebay.. Thanks for that

Fantastic Sunn! My brother used to have a skyblue Asphalt when he was eacing for the Sunn (amateur-) team. Loved the geo of these bikes.

I'd go for black tape. ;)

sort that bartape finishing tho

This.

But commended for not running onto the handlebar.

Laced up the new wheels for my cross bike today. Pacenti Forza rims on Carbon Ti hubs, CX Ray spokes. Still needs proper tensioning. Weighing in at 1379g 🤓

nice !!!

I know.
You have enough bikes, just don't ride this one :)

I'm looking for some black 31.8mm risers, at least 600mm wide, with a decent bit of back sweep. What are the options? Don't want to spend loads.

It's too big for me I'm going to part with it...
