  • New project: race bike on a bargain, in stealth mode.

    Picture featuring our fire damaged living room. Kids, never leave shitty appliances on charge unattended, and this is your reminder to check that your smoke alarm works :)

    Based on Radial Revere 1.1 carbon frame, r8050 di2 Ultegra, P2M powermeter. Wheels on pic are wide 50mm Planet X clinchers that I've literally found on the street near Crystal Palace. Knocked in to the house to double check its not a mistake, and they assured me that "the rear spoke is broken" so I can take it. £4 and a few spare DT Revolution's later i've got a great training wheel.

    Goal weight with tubs is sub 7kg, but to achieve that I'll have to swap my Rival cranks to Force (or praxis, that also goes with my p2m spyder), and be clever with the finishing kit (noname stem and specialized handlebar just for pic).

  • What was the shitty appliance? And amazing score on the wheels, hard to believe some people are so lazy/clueless.

  • Not something very common. My flatmates play tag rugby and there was an arrangement that they can store their field lights and batteries at ours, and charge it as we live next to the field where they play. It was the battery from the field lights, but the fire investigator told us he's doing about 2-3 ebikes & scooters a week...
