Still waiting to see a good looking 386 build

1. No it´s not my bike, I found that on flickr. Just wanted to show that not every conversion is wack!
   
   

Is that a threaded headset under the ahead stem?

For my money this Faggin is an infinitely tidier (albeit more budget) conversion. I like it a lot (it belongs to a friend), but in the context of this thread I don't either bike really qualifies as porn.

Yummy...

That Faggin is not a nice example of a good conversion frankly. Certainly not porn.

agree, with unused brake cable housing stops and parts not sensitive to the era of the frame - not a bad looking bike but miles off from bike porn.

Hell yeah, great paint job..

There is a lady that has one just like that, around Mare St., I always drool at her bike...

early 90ies LOOKs, with the Giant Cadex the first carbon frames

fooking awesome!!!the white one especially!

Just putting this where it belongs.

This bike is the shit, and I want it! Awesome build by JCaprani, in current projects.

Even thought it's fairly basic, I can imaging the amount of fun I can have with this bike, I've forgetting how easy is it to go over the kerbs without needing to lift the front wheel with those tyres.

how much is a dropout change nowadays? seems like a pretty easy project to do. (not harshing on his build, it's quite obviously epic)

about £50 if you supply your own dropout/track end (quote I got from Ted James of 14 Bikes).

what a pillock, it's like applausing at yourself for something you done.

something nobody on here has ever done.

with his username matching the bicycle's drivetrain, yep.

looks like a 13 x 48 to me ed.

I've forgetting how easy is it to go over the kerbs **without needing to lift **the front wheel with those tyres.

you don't half talk some crap, you still should lift the front wheel going up kerbs, even if it's just to save the headset.

Have you ridden an MTB with the Maxxis Hookworm tyres? even though you do need to lift it, the hookworm's big enough to just ride over it sometime.

yes i have, have you?

Lol

i was thinking about this yesterday, does anyone know of or are there any shops in london with a selection of track ends to choose from?

daaaaaaaaamn

Is that a record headset with an Ahead convertor?

hubjub sell some, 14 have just made some very clean looking ones as well judging by their blog. if they are reasonably priced I may buy a set for the future. I'm determined to build a frame some day.

whats actually going on here?

The fork isn't drilled for a brake so there is a clamp thing attached to the forks which allows a brake to be fitter.

Clamp on brake. Designed so track bikes can be used for training on the road without having to drill a hole for the brake calliper.

thought these two off tokyo fixed gear blog were pretty special. the terry dolan story makes it more special - even if im not totally sold on stem.

(would put retro di corsa's pinarello on as well, but guess everyones seen it.
