Current Projects chat and miscellany

Hmm, I have a single-sided phil laced to a yellow deep V! Only problem is it's on my bike. And it's fucking filthy and the rim is very chipped.

But I'd swap it for an all black rear. :)

FSA carbon isn't designed to run fixed

Eh? FSA Pro Carbon Track cranks are designed for precisely that.

You sure? Sounds a bit dodgy making track cranks that are only designed for SS.
What about the Vigorelli Track Cranks? Surely they are proper track cranks and designed for fixie gear no brakey ride around in circley?

I have a set of the FSA Vigorelli and the FSA Pro Carbon cranks. Both are designed for fixed use.

Don't you use them as earrings though?

The Vigorellis are on the Soma. The Pro Carbons are brand new and unused.

You have a Waterford? Now I'm officially jealous. I really wanted one of those, but couldn't get the $$$ together before I moved to the UK. Beautiful bikes, I think.

Just added the brake from my broken Rourkie as I've had a couple of scary incidents following both my girlfriend and my housemate, who both ride erratically. I still haven't used it though and will probably take it off again.

This is my finished 'proper' bike. I say 'proper' because my Brian Rourke is like a child's toy.

God that came out well! Good job!

So I got my frame and front wheel back from the painter (Sam Fish), and its beautiful, really beautiful. Hes done an amazing job, and for a three colour fade it only cost as much as one colour at Argos.

So I've taken a really shit photo using my macbook's web cam, which doesn't do the fade or colours, or the filling of the cutouts any justice, but gives you some idea. I really do need a decent camera:

I just need a rear wheel and I'm good to go. Thinking of a white single sided phil, laced 3x to a white H+son with white or yellow spokes. :)

why don't you put the pink one from your low-pro on just to see how it look? should give you more idea on colour combination too.
