Current Projects chat and miscellany

Finished the track bike for Good Friday as I originally planned, and finally got to ride it round the track at this mornings session. Its lighter than I thought it was gonna be, and the transmission makes no noise whatsoever, you'll never hear the bike coming, but you'll hear me huffing and puffing as I strain to pass before the finish line.

Got the frame from Jos and Keith @ Tour De Ville, don't know who made it, but its got a nice fork, and lugs, and has the number 6701 stamped on bb and track end, anyone who knows what it might be let me know.. Got it resprayed at Colourtech, as yellow on a bike isn't for me, I'd have liked it to have been a slightly darker purple, but the colours close enough..

So you get some before and after pictures. Plus it built up in its natural habitat Herne Hill.

I couldn't have done it without the help, support and generosity of many of the forum members, you know who you are and your help was much appreciated. Managed to build it for more than I wanted, but less than i thought it would be...

looks awesome dude!

also looks a bit like the "big purple one" from a box of quality street

tasty
