Current projects in Dublin

95euro in Cycleways... Not sure if I want to get it chopped though... It really doesn't go with my bike at all but it's incredibly comfy so I'll keep it for now and it'll be broken in when I change it... keep it for a future bike like, something nice and classy :)

This is my current project, found in a dump. Hope to get it finished in the next couple of weeks.

Look FTW!!!!

Carbon fg ftw!
First non track carbon fg I have(will) even seen.

That looks pretty close to finished.

Nah, bottom bracket's gone. See the mechanics forum for the hell I went through with the seatpost. Needs a new chainring, rear wheel needs replacing, new brake cables, other bits'n'bobs. Missing the seatpost bolt. Someone must have left it out in the rain for years.

Easier to get fixed than my next project though.

What do you have for the next may I ask?

An old Carlton.

Nice.

B17 special is 90 odd quid, and worth it for shorter spins.... the Swallow is my fave, and what I have on the Mercian... lovely saddle!

I have a possible geared project in the pipeline... of EPIC PROPORTIONS...

I can safely say that it WILL be the nicest geared bike in Dublin bar none however it may take quite a bit of time and money to complete so bear with me ;)

Not if I stick a nice campag grouppo on my mercian it won't be mate :p

Ohh, frame off!

No no, this frame really is EPIC... Mercian killer I shall name it ;)

I'll believe it when I see it :)

Oh you will... you will ;)

Wait, you spent €120 on a saddle?

the price of vanity

Lol, I just seem to be spending all my money on bikes at the moment... what's worse is not bikes for me...

Then while you're at it, you may as well buy me some stuff :P

Ohh, frame off!

And maybe an actual race? I heard some dude named lance say something like 'its not about the bike' once, but he just doesn't understand aesthetics.

Phhhsssst bollocks, if it doesn't look good it can't be fast? Obviously!!

This is going to be an amazing geared bike though, really really amazing!!!

HHSB goodness ;)

Ooh! You got the disk rolling?
How'd you do it?

Oodles of Araldite, left to set for a week before use with a Miche Primato Pista Cog + Carrier, still need to drill a few holes in the carrier and secure with grub screws, also reckon I've built up enough material on the hub with the araldite to screw a lockring onto it to stop lateral movement, won't take too much to hold it right that way.

All in all it worked out pretty well and I've still got a carbon fibre disc wheel for well under €200 :D

OMG, in your picture in names and face, I thought the wheelset you had where rusted old ones.

I really really really can't believe I missed that fact that they where campagnolo beauties
