Current Projects chat and miscellany

Just put aero bars on the Planet X... :)

And my RiGi is now in Denmark.. but sadly at some postoffice somewhere waiting to be delivered to me..

T-Cut? Ouch! Not good, not good at all, not even for its stated purpose.

If you want something OTC then go Autoglym Super Resin, at least it has chemical cleaner in it as well, plus fillers and it'll leave a polymer coat behind.

It is to me when Im not used to the bloody roads.

Take your time and stick to small roads, plan your route on google maps or something

I will, also have applied to LCC and TFL re: cycling.

I don't know exactly what the road is like from Wembley > central London but if it's anything like riding from Uxbridge the bigger faster roads are a whole load easier to ride than the slower roads closer to town. They are so much less stressful despite the cars traveling at higher speeds.

I live basically right next to the north circular/dual carriageway.

Anywhere near the Holiday Inn? My mum lived near Stonebridge Park tube back in the day.

I live between the Ace cafe and Holiday Inn at brent cross.

Cool, when I get my Vespa PX, I'll be up that way drinking malt shakes beating up rockers.

Haha, I wanna go there more often, just not on my own.

      **Alan Titanal coaster brake - ss for Prague** 

Hi my friends,

A few week ago I was built my first singlespeed bike. Major parts are used, some very old (front hub ESKA from 1963, Favorit bars from 1975), coaster brake Velosteel (ex- Velamos) is new, but technology same that Fichtel-Sachs, and it working very good (braking effect like a speedskating :o) Tufo tubes (8-12atm) are very shark and quick (absolutely not for Roubaix..) and stem... stem is sweet Cinelli 1A. Gear ratio for Prague hills 43/16 - not problem.

thank you for inspiration!!!

sweet, i finally have enough spare parts to build another bike! I'll put pics up in a bit.

it's defintely a nice little bit for riding around town, coaster brake make riding even more fun by keeping everything simple (hand for steering, feet for pedalling and slowing down).

Yum, wheelset for life;

Phils low flange with phils cog, DT Swiss spoke, and Mavic Open Pro CD.

Dude, they are fucking lovely. Definitely a wheelset for life.

I'd rep you just for having nice wheels if I could.

you can, you just go under Egg's avator look for report/comment and the comment is the rep part :P

cereal lurker here ( i eat alot of crunchy nut). not exactly current, finished a while ago, but looking for silver brake lever and bar end plugs at some point, and some blue bar tape., and to switch the saddle out too...any suggestions welcome. see me round london or cambridge.

Fuck, you're right!

I know Goose, I'm amazing.

it's defintely a nice little bit for riding around town, fixed gear make riding even more fun by keeping everything simple (hand for steering, feet for pedalling and slowing down).

a singlespeed coaster brake is a fantastic way of having a relaxing ride, I'm building up my old bike as one.

Just put this together...after my last ride was striped outside a pub in Dalston a few months back. This one not as bling, more understated to try and avoid too much attention.

A mixture of Campy, Phil, H+Son, Nitto and Brooks. Feels very solid and responsive.

Cheers

I'm completely hopeless at photography, but here's my attempt

G-Lover, that's a great photo, you can see the bike well, so don't worry if youre good at it or not.
Quite like the Bob Jackson, is it brakeless?
