Current Projects chat and miscellany

Thanks. Yes, perfect for amateur use, I'd say.

Been swapping a few parts around..

Just managed to get 26c tyres in there as I found the 23s brutal after being on fatter tyres from riding other bikes. Hopefully it makes a noticeable difference.

Also considering changing the bars for something else, as not sure I find it that comfortable as it is for long rides... recommendations welcome :)

Cool frameset. What's not comfortable about the bars? Too long / too low / not enough squish?

Upgraded... Lovely bike (fixed disc Audax) but poor pictures

or

Swapped out the wheels and seatpost on the Sachs.

Took it for a short (windy) spin, and stopped off outside 35 Tanners Hill where it all began.

Chain installed. Need to buy pedals, bartape and inner tubes to finnish this one.

Stripped down and ready for a rebuild.

Looks like it'll be Sram Red20 and Chinese carbon.

Just feel too flat, and straight and possibly too long. Maybe I’ll try tilting the levers in ever so slightly. Might also need a 100mm stem opposed to a 110.

Is that directed at me Gaston?

I think I agree, but will probably go for a kalloy.. in silver.

I want the bottom one.

Chain is not installed until it’s tensioned.

Made a matchy matchy bike rack with some alu tubes, ti mounts, bar plugs + tape and leftover decals.

Into a concrete brick wall (painted).

How comes the mavic letters are upside down?

Nice

It can be dismantled fully, I just put it on upside down when I serviced it :)

In case you didn't notice, there's some reality behind some images.
Also need to buy inner tubes first..

Wasn't sure where to put this. Anyone fancy using this for anything? Spotted in a charity shop in Blackheath for £30.
