Current Projects chat and miscellany

Sorry bro, didn't mean that comment to be aimed at you, at all, was just stating on a more general level...

tru dat.

and Re-cycled, that Roberts looks delicious.

thanks max, i just need a silver thomson seatpost, and some pedals clips and straps and i'm done. would have like a campagnolo c record aero seatpost but they are all so short! mostly 210mm or less.

forms you misunderstand, i am no advocate of more brackless fixie-skidders on the streets, just that sweet set of track wheels with a brake rankles my sensibilities somewhat.

aside from that, i reiterate - nice job!

it irkes me too, to have the braking surface rubbed away. i do have a 2nd cxp33 clincher wheelset half built, i think my conscience would feel better if i used a brake on them and saved the Pistas for slow forum rides or days on the track (which i don't at the moment, but hope to do at some point).

oh i almost forgot, thanks Murtle for allowing me to use your patented saddle system ;)

and another thing, re-cycle, looking very nice and very tight, but where is a full picture !! gah!

Kaacching! i'm jealous, really lovely, i missed it first time round.

Dylan, so you bid on it when it was ebay? Don't worry though it's in good hands...mostly.

insert your joke in mum here

yar

This is where I've been for the last month, nowhere and slowly.
Is there anyone willing to lend me £200 (with no guaranty that I'll ever pay back).... please? : D

Oooh.
Nice Shimano Dropouts!

Plus, I really like those old 600 stems. Neato bolt system. But I've never seen one short enough. Good looking project you have there mate.

Thanks HM, just got a bit fucked over with unrelated stuff, so now it will take longer to finish it. No dough. I'm not sure which tires to get tho, wanting to go fully (98%, saddle and spokes) Japanese, made my choices run shorter already.... so, panaracer maybe, Ribmo.

Nice one Dylan, nice one Leo, nice one Re-cycled
; )

...I really like those old 600 stems. ... But I've never seen one short enough.

90mm, NOS, £18.

Noice, where from?
And whats the frame, you really don't see Shimano dropouts much. Dave Yates did like 'em in the 80s though...

Frame. Stem got it off bay, this Portuguese guy who only sells NOS DA pretty much. Nice prices.

@jersey, I am getting some cranks powdercoated black - let me know if you want in, as we will save money doing it together.
@IRleo, epic paint-job - sweet bike
@re-cycled, fucking phwoar!
@Dylan, looks ace, get a different seatpost you tard
