Current Projects chat and miscellany

Thanks !
Yes : )

Pulled this out my rent's shed. Think I left it there about 6 years ago. Haven't ridden a MTB in ages so new project time!

Anyone know where I can get some new decals?

Can somebody ID this stem for me? Looks great on my bike, but is too long. Searching for a shorter one is difficult though without knowing the type.

Have you looked on the history page at Deda Elementi Web site?

That was fast! Thanks.

needed a roadie for the weekend so dipped in to my posher parts bin

Looks sorted ... and not like anything else. Enjoy it.

Put on the Sim Works Getaround bars today, find them superbly comfy.
The Wald basket probably stays on over the summer, before moving it to the "commuter".

Looks off, but I can't put my finger on it.
Anyone with a set of eyes sharper than mine have suggestions? @remrak ?

Concorpe, dead partridge - looks fine to me.

Nice lookin whip!

Awesome.

It’s such a badly cut logo (in a charming way).

This one appears slightly heavier, with smaller counters. And the D is different.

The keming is totally off.

@gertrudestein

I would worry less about historical accuracy and more about it not looking shit. So ... no outline to the type and no accidental partridge etc.

First ride on this today. Needs some finessing-a 1 or 2 mm spacer on the free hub, something to stop the bottom bracket moving slightly-it's an Italian bb and axle axle on a british width shell (go figure) and a left size Campagnolo lever hood to fit 10 speed chorus shifters, as the current one is split. Other than that will swap the seatpost to a Campagnolo one when I find a reasonably priced 26.6 one, and fit some PDW mudguards. Really comfortable ride though, and surprisingly light.

@Eejit FTFY

My query was more about kerning/details than the general style, but thanks for your opinion.
My partner requested the partridge so that is what she's gonna get.

Ooh matron

I am blissfully unaware of what you're on about.
