Spotter's Current Project Collation

If also recommend changing the rear derailleur cable guides to fully sheathed if you can. Mine often bungs up under the bb

Noted thanks, I had planned to get Aurum to do powder coat and the frame work as they have a frame builder now, will let you know price.

MKS lambda Pedals

I cant bring myself to buy these sorry, I'm sure they're great but...

I have the silver ones on my tandem. Look much nicer in real life. Super smooth bearings too.

That’s a cool looking bike.

I second that. I had lambadas on my cargo bike and they were excellent pedals (should have kept them).
Now for flat pedals I love Blackspire.

Give them the mudguards too, they should be able to paint them as well. I'm pretty sure the mudguards on this are painted GBs.

+1 for lambas in silver!
They don't add much to the q-factor, and I find they make my HTII mtb cranks feel like a set of HTII road cranks with mtb flat pedal - if that makes any sense.

In short, if you feel like your q-factor is too wide, you might benefit from a pair of lambas.

Ah well I bought some of the new DMR v12 Mags' as they're on sale on CRC

but if i have any issues, i'll look at the Lambdas'.

@cgg That's the plan yes, and they are.

Those Pletschers with pannier bars are blowing my tiny mind.

Does anyone have experience with them? How much does the system weigh?

A nice pile of stuff collecting up in the spare room

More things have arrived, I Spa Cycles 38t narrow wide and 40t Chainring guard for my GF's bike. Minimal branding, just what I like

The narrow wide will mean the chain shouldn't come off, the guard is actually becuase she asked to help keep oil/dirt off her clothes, which I understand.

I was orignally going to use a set of black Rival cranks I have spare, but I think the orignal square taper ones will be nicer.

aha I needed a 38t narrow wide chainring this looks perf.

Rode it last night, just emailing Aurum about the eyelets to add and colour to powdercoat.

I think im going to go for RAL 5008

That is very good looking colour!

I hope it looks that good IRL. I've also ordered some 60mm GB guards which I may get painted too.

I also asked to add some eyelets:

• Make the current Mid-blade the middle of a triple mount
  

• Chainstay bridge (where the existing hole is)
  

• Seatstay bridge (could be awkward as it several holes)
  
  

• Replace this eyelet with a snapped bolt
  

Closest I can find on Ceeways is

so I may have to get both replaced so they match

I've had a lot of nice parcels show up lately, including this:

in other news, Ive given my GF my topeak pump, as it fits so perfectly on her bike

Are the GB delivered with the daruma bolt nowadays?

Wow with all that nice parts consider me interested to see what the output will be! Open the Wizard Works package! What is it?

Sounds like some very sensible frame mods!
And that frame pump fit is just spot on!

They have been for quite a while, my old part from about 5 years ago had them.

Alakazam!

Subbed. Did you see the latest Vagabond iteration? triple mounts on the fork, might be TA though, not sure.I don't think they do forks separately though anyway.

Looks to be a whole lot more eyelets, slightly oddly it has TA on the rear but not the front, they make a steel for for the Croix de Fer with TA too....

I noticed that the weird rear TA/front QR setup as well.. According to the specs it's all TA though. Might be a pre production fork - as the flat mount/IS brake setup is slightly odd-ball as well.

Also costs twice as much as mine did four years ago!
