What to do with too many unfinished projects: buy a frame on eBay.

Quite light with Tange Prestige tubing and a 1" headtube.
Patina is there, but no dings or other issues, other than the seat post area has been welded at some point. Time will tell how it will hold up.

this is so good! looks like such a fun conversion - is it a custom fork? also jealous of the bag - i'm in the market for similar, any id on it?

thanks, it really is fun ride. custom fork for 27,5 wheels. mini v's are great but next step is disc conversion with dynamo hub and tubeless rims.
as for bag it's blahol.
cheers!

Looks great! Will this get disc tabs welded on?

What crankset is that? Chainring seems to be Aliexpress (Pass Quest) but couldn't id the crank.

Exactly, braze ons on the back and carbon fork. Crank is also from ali, bought it few years back, clean and simple.

I added some 32s, shorter stem and tool roll on the Razor

And some xl risers for the Steamroller to carry the xl bag for work, maybe went to high but it’s comfy

Tested the Pizza rack with a bag of rice, works fine!

I bought a second hand derailleur and I now see that the barrel adjuster is missing. Moreover, I think the barrel adjuster actually broke off.
Any suggestions on how to get that crap out?

Can you get a drill bit to the back side? 90% chance that if you try drilling it from the back, it will unscrew before you even reach full diameter on the drill tip.

The back has some sort of a cap that's not part of the threaded insert

I could drill through all of that I guess

You only need a drill slightly bigger than the existing cable hole bore, just to grab the sides and spin the remnant out of the knuckle.

What make are the bars on the Steamroller? After some just like those myself. Cheers.

Mine are BLB big smoke OS

Oh man that worked like a charm! I thought I'd drilled through it, but the leftover threaded insert just came out. Thanks

Not really my thing but it looks very comfortable, enjoy!

Nice! Wanna swap the nitto m18 for my VO Randonneur with decaleur to make it even better?

one of the best fixie frames of all time imo
