Current Projects chat and miscellany

Tracklocross? Saw that someone over in Manchester was setting up a race.

Yeah that's the gist of it - pre cursa fits 35c in the back no bother! You fancying coming across? It should be a laugh, might be a disaster

A new project just arrived from France, thanks @Tychom !

Tempted, I put some silly wide bars & a slightly treaded tyre on my Graham Weigh. Need a lower gear & less flexy stem still though.

Bought this giant chaos a couple weeks ago, mainly because it was cheap and has a nice forkcrown. Today I built it up with parts bin parts, a chinese NW chainring and schwalbe table tops. Quite happy with the result so far :) rear brake cable is awkwardly routed and will be sorted soon, same goes for the bar plugs.

I was thinking this week I wanna build up something like exactly this.

Dibsifyousellandwillcomepickitupfocheapyeh?;)

Looks wicked.

Put in some bar plugs pls.

Had a similar Giant, was a lovely bike, and lovely craftsmanship on those fork crowns indeed. Solid beater!

Sorry mate, it was 200 quid with 4 month realisation.

Not bad! Thanks for the info.

Hehe, I‘m not looking to sell it atm :) But I can definitely recommend building sth like it. Total cost has been around 130€ and it‘s loads of fun. Keeping it 7 speed keeps down the cost considerably.
@Hulsroy cheers, the bar plugs have been sorted before the shakedown ride.
@gaston it‘s not NOS but in great condition indeed. It‘ll go on my jan janssen as it is too nice for a beater like the giant.

Couple more pics from today.

That looks loads of fun!
(as does that road)

Looks rad! What size it is and how tall are you?

I bought this frame last year, collected some parts and i finally have time to finish it. Plan is pub/fun bike 1x10, sram X7 rear deraileur and shifter, basic shimano cranks with ali NW chainring, XT hubs on mavic rims, XT brakes & levers...

That paintjob is nuts, love it!

Looks good! Nice to see a Mielec roadbike:)

That frame looks really good!

Thanks, indeed road frame from them isn't sth obvious.
With 28c rubber and full carbon fork it is suprisingly comfortable (besides custom geo). Although cable guides were fucked up and had to do new ones also there were only holes without thread for bottle cages -> @russmeyer

Hehe..;)

Looks glorious!
I have my eBay kleinanzeigen suche saved.

Hopefully more hack than bodge. Used a mending plate to get SKS mudguards much closer to the tyre on the Arkose.

Does anyone know what the added height of a Chris King inset 7 will be above the crown race instead of an inset 1 headset? Can't really seem to find any measurements online.

Does your commute take in Elephant and Castle? I think I spotted a similar set up last week.
