Current Projects chat and miscellany

Cool - just thought I'd say.

Its always hard to see exactly how bad the paint is from a pic. The guy who sold me my Mercian said the paint was too far gone and was going to powdercoat.

Try hlloydcycles for decals

sexist!

(lovely frame - I'm looking for something similar for my wife)

How is this a fuckin ugly bike

You're being serious aren't you??

she's married to me, but your compliment has been passed on :-)

Powertap + Surly Fixxer + Wheelsmith PT conversion axle kit + Conti tyre = plus fucking what?! CONTI?! ARGHH!!!!

that's a lot of modifications you did there man! jeez.. must have cost a fortune. Looking good though, but can i ask, with the surly fixer screwed on, is there a risk of it un-threading when your braking and such ? or have you managed to lock it in place somehow

edit} its splined isn't it ? doh...

Well thi is my first post. I live in the USA . I have three winter projects .

I have a few more projects , but don`t have pictures of them on my computer yet.
By the way I just found this site and love it.

^ That Atala is fucking nice! And I like any frame with Zeus ends, so that Viner is a winner too :)

+1 nice. something different

are you serious.. 1889? Wood wheels? Ace. I hope it's going to be ride-able and not just to hang in the garage

Yes I am going to ride it, fix the wood rims and build up a modern set of wheels with Velocity teak rims for everyday rides. Actually it is a 1898 not a 1889 , I flipped the numbers. It looks much cooler with the original stem and bars , just did not have them handy when taking the picture.
Thanks for the comments on the Atala , I just bought it a couple of weeks ago from the original owner , it came an extra campy wheelset , five campy chainrings and 14 rear cogs. I sold off all of the extra parts and got enough cash to pay for the bike, so I guess I can say it was a free bike.

nice work!

she's married to me

Makes the project even more challenging...
You have a price in mind?
Wanna trade?
More pics ?
Willing to split ?

I just dont think you like me its your problem not mine there is nothing wrong with that bike ok its not a track frame but not all fixed rides are track frames.

To be fair KK that ones not bad at all
