Names and faces to bikes

To protect the leg and improve scavenging of the exhaust port due to the higher and more even temperature.

The pipes don't stay damp enough to corrode, it's not like a car where they are sat underneath.
debate on this, some say you can get same effect by ceramic coating, inside and out. the corrision is because it traps moisture between the pipe and wrap, also gets acidic or something as well. anyway, every set of wrapped headers i've seen get rusted to fuck.

I'd ceramic coat on a nice bike. That isn't mine anyway it's my friend who live in Brooklyn.

I'm putting this together at the moment. The invisible bars weren't much good.

The headers on our racecars are all wrapped and have last years and years with no issues.

Is it full NJS?

Yup, point taken on the off topic.

fuck the topic, I want/need a bobber and it looks like you're builing one. I'm not into ape hangers though (I assume they were invisible ape hangers you were trying out there) go for the down swept bad boy look.

I running Z bars with welded on risers to start with.

New (well, reformed) ride.

Was a 24" street/jump bike, now, as you can see, a burly hardtail mtb, lovely. Put 500 quids worth of bits on it saturday night and seshed it yesterday at chicksands, and it's so nice.

Fixed is still back wheelless, but i've ghetto sprayed it fluro orange, as it's a beater anyway. Didn't really take it apart all that much, didn't prime it, didn't remove the rust from the half stripped frame, just went for it with 2 cans of plastikote.

I don't think the "whirlwind basic" is a prime cut for singlespeeding...

best to leave the gears on that sick pup

I think I saw you this morning Ant, if you come in from the East through Old Street and down Hipster Alley (Clerkenwell Rd).

Not me, I've not left the house for 2 days.

Hmm. Then your bike has a twin.
Now get out and ride - it's not raining!

Time for a repaint then :)

Taking the family out shortly and back to work tomorrow so no ride today.

thinking now of getting an old frame and using some parts from the road bike.
