Current Projects chat and miscellany

For the Mexicolnago the tubes are so thin but It will go the day I find the original forks and then I will build it full Colnapagnolo SR 1st gen.

For the MBK Nemo TT; The day I find a real TT frame or that I plan my legs I will turn my seatpost in the right direction ; )

You got the Ultegra headset? 😆😆

It must be in the plane now : )
And you know what ? The very nice X MCamb X offered me the pedals too 8)

Finished off my fixed TT joke bike, just lots of final position fiddling to get it spot on

Cannondale Track. Polish or no? Before and after below.

Polish or no?

Once you polish aluminium, you are making a lifetime of work for yourself to keep it looking that way. Think about whether that's what you want :)

I like that a lot. Looks rapid. Got any upgrades planned for it?

This looks nice. Will need a lot of elbow grease to polish the frame fully. And after a while it will turn dull again so I guess there’s nothing to loose as this is not a permanent change. ;)

Think it just needs a clean tbh..

True, but if he actually sat on the saddle the upper arm angle would move to something a bit more fashionable :)

I’m going to try polish it... tbh won’t be fussed if it goes dull again, kinda wanted to just clean the surface up a little. Any way to try and remove some of the shallower scratches?

Another question, how would I achieve this kinda of finish?

Stop refining when you get to about 400 grit

Picture not working (for me).

cheers

varnished it after, otherwise you have to polish it every year

ooooooh cheeky chops. very nice that.

Raymond Clerc : ) Thanks

So I’ve bought this and taken it home. On close inspection seems pretty solidly built, but I don’t think it’s a specialized. Reckon previous owner has stuck all those decals on.

Pretty impulsive purchase. Any ideas or inspo on what to do with it welcome!

Threw me off when the chain slipped on the way back so might just spend a bit of time sorting it out so it’s safe and give it to mini mcamb so he has a bike he can chuck around, ride down steps etc.

@B0N0R @Georgel

Nice bikes!

Any ideas

Put it in a skip?

😂😂😅

Aah now you’ve said it... quite tempted to. But I reckon my son would like it if I sorted it out a bit 🤷‍♂️

Ignore phil, its the perfect pub bike
