Current Projects chat and miscellany

Update on the LoPro. Sorry for the crap picture, will get some proper ones done when it's finished, hopefully next week.
Just waiting for the Italian Lockring, some black bar tape and some new allen key skewers to come in the post (damn strikes!).

Before:

Now:

It's an ambrosio disc wheel, running 53:16 as a magic ratio (I know, but I can handle it!), will probably rebuild the front wheel radial at some point. Pretty happy with how it's coming together. It's an awesome bike to ride.

really nice looking. I love huge gear ratios. I used to ride a 52x16 for years. When i had the right song on i could really hit ridiculous speeds for about 3 minutes and 33 seconds, yar, then huff puff lets take it easy slow down i think i'm gonna die. I rode it brakeless. Does that count for anything?

edit: actually looking at your pedals, be careful with that ratio steep of a ratio. I snapped the retention bar on two occasions. Once stopping and once climbing a hill.
