Current Projects chat and miscellany

Was this the one literally made in your kitchen?! Looks great.

Did you ream the seat tube before or after closing time?

Brake levers are a bit mad for the wrist no? Or is that just the angle of the photo?

It’s probably like a Halfords Apollo next to your latest 😂

I think I have a 25c Veloflex if you wanna match the rear with the front. Drop me a PM.

I’m not sure what the punch line is here, I have my own reamer 🤦🏼‍♂️

Thanks man, I do have a second albeit worn and dirty one that I just haven’t put on yet

Deserve a better crankset, nice looking bike boss

It's there if you want it.

I've always bought tyres in 3s - my fronts always go before the rear and usually 2 fronts to 1 rear.

This was a leftover front with not much use after a bad cut rendered the rear useless and I decided to switch to Panaracer RiBMos.

This is not what I was expecting! Love it!

Nah they are fine.

Photo makes them look pretty much vertical, which they are not!

Like Marcel Duchamp's 'bicycle wheel', please tell me the wheel spins freely :)

Yeah, it does going to lock the headset though.

i did not want to buy a new frame/start a new project, but i wasn’t going to say no to this for £6.50.... :D

2002 kona explosif, true temper ox tubes, oem disc mount and a working ht2 bb

and some slx/xt brakes.

you could probably flog those TRPs, pick up some MT500/M615 and still have money left

What a bargain. eBay?!

Cool, what’s the plan? Will it accommodate 27.5” wheels?

Get some of these, cheap as chips and they are pretty decent for the money.

I'm talking RRP here...

You seemed happy enough to take a 30% discount from a German shop on the brakes 🙂

the long levers feel crap though

RRP £40 for a pair, so not really much difference...

Not if you have big hands... ;)
