Current Projects chat and miscellany

Gave it a paint.
Got a lovely reddish brown Brooks B17, want some moustache bars real bad. Might have to settle for turn back ladies town bike style though.
Can't decide which tyres to go for, gum wall or cream schwalbe's.
Want to get som of those cork grips on there too.

That Alan is the nuts - awesome

I can't wait to see that Alan finished. Stunning.

Not here yet, should've been this week, luckily it gave me enough time to gather certain part for the build, it's already my bike porn that'll be ridden to death everyday.

all I need is a Titan stem now to complete the mix of new and old;

You probably already know this, but Titan the Belgian company sometimes used a weird 27.0 diameter on their bars and stems. Unless you have Titan bars, a shim may be required or the stem will overtighten, bending the cinch bolt.
voice of experience here.

I do, this one in picture is the same as a Cinelli, 26.4 so it make it a little bit easier, althought the bar I want is 25.4 annoyingly enough!

That Alan is lush, made me a bit hard - good job mate

that alan is crazyyyyy. would be way cool if your name was alan as well...

Italian thats all I know.

Kingcutter, already moving on to a new project??

I better get my Bob up before you steal the show Ed. I fear I'm going to regret not requesting a flat fork crown and fluted seat tube.

Project update, my new wheels, first set to be rolling in the UK apparently: http://14bikeco.wordpress.com/

so is that just polished alu? Are you going to just keep it polished or apply a coating? Seems like you'd have to polish it a lot. I say this cause I've just done the same and am a bit worried about oxidisation.

polish with natural bee wax [that is my old man's advice].. it protects from uneven oxidation

mmmmm shiny
