Current Projects chat and miscellany

this is the state i fell in love with - contrasting black tape and black saddle

maybe @Tijs can help (iirc, he's the pixelbike-modder) :)

My mate Nobby's 1982 SBDU R753

I tried some stuff, but I would have to rebuild the seatpost because the saddle covers the clamp.

That's actually why I think this saddle and the Turbo works; it nicely covers up the clamp. Doesn't look as good if you don't, in my opinion:

Didn't this have a jubilee

Funny you should mention that.

@Gast๑ຖ🐒 do you collect manuals & catalogues? You can have this one if you want it

Thanks but I do not collect thoses stuffs , and thanks agane for the Mavic CX18 24h Rims : )

I decided to scratch the itch and have recently converted my Kepler from drops to a set of flat bars.
set up feels good but the ali bars I'm using are pretty stiff so wondered if there were any recommendations for something with a bit more flex?

my winiums need truing, so i made a thing.

My bass work.
Back in the 70s you might have heard of me.

Looks great!

This is pretty much finished for now. Just need to finish off the mudguards and trim the steerer. Needs a bag for the rack (and possibly a new rack with a wider platform whilst I'm at it) and new grips at some point but I'm going to make sure I actually like it before I throw any more money at it.

Oh yes!

Awesome transformation. Especially like the wheels and massive tyres.

Nice!

Fantastic

Wow this looks great with the 650b's

Thanks all.

@kjlem: I was also pleasantly surprised by how it turned out. Completely changed the look of the bike vs 26".

This is soo good, do you have a build thread?

@Tijs !!!

I probably should, shouldn't I...

looks good, I'd just attach a basket to that rack

Oh interesting, which brakes did you use?
