Current Projects chat and miscellany

Thanks. So a straightbladed fork wont help? I thought people were using them to fix such problems for barspins and cornering. Or is my clearence just too small to fix at all?
Wanted to get this fork, fits my lugs and chrome track ends.

165 cranks would make big difference :)

cheers bro! Yeah def gonna cut down the steerer. Gonna wait till my pops gets back tho. I don't really trust myself to do it!
Probably going to be on the road in about a week - still waiting on the replacement 75 chainring and some other bits.
I'll spin down deptford way when it's done.

what cranks you are planing to stick on it? (dont tell me suginos)

I fucking love the flat crown fork;

Bike on the road but not finished

It's an old "Alan" frame from Italy.

Need to sort some SPD's out and a plain seatpost. Also running a very spinny 42/17 cause it's all we had in the shop. And would help if the frame wasn't slightly compressed, hopefully it won't fall apart on me

vintage bits badly needed for this build...

I've just finished my Katana Tsunami, built with:
Nitto NJS bars and seatpost
Soyo grips
SR NJS stem
Planet X tub wheels with Conti Duraskin tubs
Truvativ Omnium cranks
105 front brake with Kore suicide lever

It's gorgeous BUT I built it up to commute on, only to find my local train co wonn't take bikes (other than the folding variety!!!) so now I'm goin to have to sell it to invest in a (gulp) folder instead.....might be interested in a partial swap deal....but bear in mind it cost me £1300 to build and its been ridden up the road ONCE!!!!

I'm going to list it on the classifieds section once I'm out of the nursery (!!).....look out for it!

tubs - not cheap option for commute, dear punctures...

Just wanted to show off my current project.

Bought this Woodrup frame a couple of months ago and I've just got around to spraying it. I spent ages sanding and filing it down, removing the unwanted lumps and bumps as well as the paint. Primer, then topcoat. The clearcoat goes on this weekend.

Can anyone help me with the age/name? All I know is that it's a Woodrup frame (Reynolds 531 steel).

you stripped an original woodrup, hacked off braze-ons, then painted it black. Fuck me, what has this world come to.

that was a very nice frame.and it's not worth anyone helping you with name/age, anymore.

I really liked those over-the-BB cable guides as well. Nice little feature.

That Woodrup can be dated from the serial number as Dale said: http://www.classicrendezvous.com/British_isles/Woodrup/Woodrup_serial_numbers.htm

You've killed it to death.

I weep for our children.

Finally got my frame from Mercian. Still in the early stages of the build, waiting for a few final things before i put it together properly.
Really pleased with the frame. Mercian put 631 stickers on the frame and fork, which i'd asked them not to do, was a bit annoyed... but they've grown on me a bit now.

Wrong on SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many levels

Yeah, cough up Dale... I think I've also found my perfect track frame in the last 24hrs... Coincidence? Or the same frame? Hmmm? Hmmm? Hmmm? ;]

my money's on a Landshark

Langster Monaco?
