its bent and broken..

Lol....man like h

its bent and broken.

Whaaa, swear I've missed this, it on here?

Its not been disclosed on here, previous seller didn't either and cba to list everything thats not perfect with it. It took me a while to get it rideable tho so I'm gonna enjoy it for as long as possible then retire it to my wall :-)

I remember as a lad I used to gawp at the Ron Kitchen catalogue in complete awe. I always liked the zeus stuff.

Good or bad idea??

Struggling to find an original chcd chainring for sub £200 which is all that I'm willing to pay atm. Trying to fully finish this before winter starts, so have been considering a set of custom rings alu rings from ukraine/russia (might not be great quality), a custom fibrelyte ring or one of those road Rotor noq rings. Can get a NoQ Rotor ring in alu for around £60 but not sure if it will look alright. Anyone got one of them that can share some photos of?

Cheapest option right now though is to buy this chainring and cut a carbon fascia to glue on top of the chainring -

In other news. Bartape arrived and wrapped up today, its Cinelli's bubble tape which feels pretty funky. Nice contrast to the paint me thinks.. -

Anyone have a set of CHCD cranks that need a chainring, going to order some carbon plates and them to some Gebhardt chainrings and make some home made ones.

3/32 47-54t chainrings. Price would be around £65-75. If you are interested let me know

With a heavy heart and lots of thinking, it's time I sold my collection of Zeus parts..

Have got a small collection of NOS bits, small example of stuff below but does anyone on this forum collect this kind of stuff? parts wont be cheap though.

Also does anyone know a of a shop that could house my Zeus track bike? Haven't ridden it in years and would prob make a better wall hanger for a shop than my bedroom.
