Small update. The Hammerite'd Grey Mercian Frame has replaced the blue frame, because rack mounts and space for eventual winter mudguards. Seems a while ago of the struggle with the stuck post and finally now get to ride it. Still have some bits to do. Bars don't feel right, maybe they need to come down and I have to move brifters up more?
Did some work on Bob Jackson. New Deda bars (mistakenly bought a weird shape bend), stem, levers, calipers, front wheel from the Mercian, new seat post, stripped saddle and mounted the bar-end shifters on the down tube. Feels more like a road bike than TT apart from the 55T big ring. I am running the gears non-indexed so think there might be a possibility to experiment with a ten-speed cassette on the back? Feels more nippy than the Mercian and tricky to get used to down tube shifting again.
