Current Projects chat and miscellany

Love it
Red tape = poormans ksyrium SL

He could pour some green loctite in the nipples for the full effect

Looks great!

Trying out a change of wheels and giving the Schwalbe One gumwall a go. More of an Orange than the classic colour, not sure I’m feeling it

This is lovely.

After not having a bike project for ages lockdown got me, snapped this up cheap. Thinking functional gramable retrogrouch build that I'm not too precious about.

@jambon, handsome lugwork, well short of pretentious.

This is really nice. Probably pretty light with a pedal change.

What are the wheels?

It's a thin line isn't it. Thanks very much

Very handsome frame Mr Jambon. I'm not familiar with the Hudson make.
Do you know much about them?
looking forward to your build.

Me too, looking forward to how this turns out and shouldn't be too serious or expensive. I've never heard of Hudson or been able to find anything online but do like a mystery frame. Any leads very welcome!

They’re White Industries T11’s to HED Belgium Plus for inclement weather. Bought it from here with Easton EC90 SL’s but i hate braking on carbon in the wet.
Should probably make the jump to speedplays but I quite like being able to step off the bike for five minutes without skidding about everywhere

So dreamy. +1 for the mtb pedals, road cleats suck

Cross post but latest build complete - have since sorted bar angle and awful tape job.

Trim steerer plz.

What's the plan with this?

ride it

Let me be more specific:

The current shifters are pretty long, and with the bars and slammed stem, you are pretty much a good couple of inches over the axle if you're on the hoods. Compact bars and/or shorter stem?

you are pretty much a good couple of inches over the axle if you're on the hoods

So?

Only if you're part of a pro peloton...

Haha wat?

ride it

I'm actually ok without your internet bike fit
