Current Projects chat and miscellany

A few shots of what im working on at the moment.

Obviously these (polo) wheels arent the ones im gonna run on it, ill have my standard ones until i can afford to slap some deep v's or a hed trispoke on the front (black at the back orange one at the front???). The build is also awaiting to get a headset and a black stem and then she's ready to roll.

Thanks to Ande for the saddle and Adam for the crankset, superduper glad.
She will hopefully be on the road soon, just hoping the weather would improve.

Any pointers, suggestions, or piss takes always welcome ;)

this geometry is only going to work as a TT bike. forget about pimping it for street, look at that clearance / wheelbase! I would get an 85" gearing on it and go do some miles. Or flog the frame if you wanna street bike...

almost as bad as your bmc

hah, thats the whole point i TT on the roads and im trying the lightest possible racing fixie for the roads.
i run a close to 80inch gearing.

ha! yep, I've not got the custom 0.2mm clearance you've got on the geekhouse, but really, the bmc doesn't come with a "mind the gap" sign

Looks much better without the front wheel stickers, maybe rub down the forks and clear coat them for a totally
monochrome look.

or just give it to me. (dont worry the size is perfect).

Can't wait to build my litespeed now....just got this groupset for it....

Who's plagiarising my name?

shout out to dale for building the wheels so nicely
big up skully for chopping my saddle up *
DMCzone for the chainring
JonoMarshall for the straps
and finally Jos and Kieth for getting the frame, stem headset, and stem which i then in turn bought
off them

now to start build number 3, the dreaded "Lo Pro"

I'm itching for a new build, doing up a knackered shopper is pretty tempting.

my hack around:

That's for Emilie's split personality...the weaker half of himself needs the triple....;)

finally you got a track bike, now you'll be able to see what the fuss is about.

Storck not Stork! Love the bike. What a beautiful thing to own and ride. I've always wanted to have a go on a state of the art road bike to see just how good they can get*

*not a hint by the way!

Yep going to book a taster session at the Velodrome in Manchester booked up till the end of march so I will stick some brakes on and give the road a blast .
