Current Projects chat and miscellany

Nice to see... I miss track bikes a bit, such simpler days.

The cockpit with stem matching TT angle – sick. I also like miss-matching cranks set a lot, somehow it works with the black chainring. Are the hubs destickered Miche Primato?

Is there something wrong on a drive side? :)

I'll answer you tomorrow about Alain Michel
and no ; )

^ exceptional.

DIBS Sirocco! ;)

This is so good. What's the story with these?

No

The drive side hides the shark fin...

I would love to find this same tube in 700c

this Preuss was designed to try to break a world hour record, it belonged to the Flanders Committee...

I have 2 sets of the 7410 pedals and a pair of NOS cleats, shipping would be from across the water however.

I remember a while ago someone was milling down Chris King crown races to get rid of that weird gap between the lower bearing cup and the forks - anyone remember who or how?

This bike is so damn cool man!

Thanks for it : )

I think it was @Jaap

Thanks to @Lanterne_Rouge for his tricross frame and @GreatSince78 for the saddle which I haven't fitted yet. Will make up my new commuter.

Will cable it (neon green outers) and cut the fork tomorrow.

Next steps will be mudguards. I'm also wondering if there if a front rack that will work - maybe axle mounted gamoh porteur?

tom donhou, i think. not sure if he still does

New project arrived yesterday an All City Mr Pink frame with Surly fork from 2012 I think that I got on ebay. Will be my commuter in Dublin with dynamo front wheel and mudguards. Pictures to follow but any advice on what bottom bracket and crankset I should be looking for? Never worked with Pressfit 30 before. Have an Ultegra groupset that I'm hoping to use as much as possible on the build.

I thought Mr Pink was a standard BB?

Edit: My bad, it is now but didn't used to be.

Yep they've changed to standard now.

Wheels Manufacturing are good. They do a 24mm BB (as opposed to 30mm->24mm reducer cups) so you could use your current cranks.

got it for cheap. overall condition was pretty bad. had to change cables, cassette and chain. cleaned brake pads and rotors. 1x10 conversion. road pedals coz no money for mtb pedals and shoes. and tt saddle. next: new tyres(maxxis ikon), maybe different saddle

Here's the coaster version.
I can't tell the qualitative difference in drive and coasting between this and the freewheel one, but the aesthetics are much improved.

Hm, looking at that I think I should switch out the rack spacers, and obviously can get away with shorter screws in there.

Picked up this red flite for 3 quids at a car boot. Someone tell me how gross it looks on a dark red bike so I can just take it off and never speak of this again, please!
