Current Projects chat and miscellany

Don't forget the cost for a hand-cut lugs to match the original thought.

How much was the frame?

im currently in Georgia looking for OG soviet track frames

bring me back one.

57 - 60 cm C-T please...
Top tube 57/58 cm C-C if possible.
I guess the first lady can deliver to me personally when she visits her folks.

I'll be doing the same in May in PL. Primarily rescuing my grandad's Romet racer from my uncle's loft.

But also maybe

another... This is an 82 Schwinn Traveler. It's going to be single speed with two brakes. Has 4130 main tubes and a fairly stiff rear triangle. should ride nicely.

actually have two projects in the works, but haven't gotten any parts for the other project yet. Both will be done by next week.

(the drawn line is to show someone the frame is big enough for her)

Heres my current bike which I built up mega quick purely to have something to get around on:

Then I bought a Raleigh Flyer 19'' from a member off here as I'm quite short its going to suit me alot better, and ino alot of people will say its too small, but I want to be able to have ultimate control over it, and being a bmxer, it will be nicer with it being small.

In this current state it has had the gear lever mounts flushed off, and partly sanded some of the tubing, its going to the metal fabricators tomorrow to have some custom track dropouts made with built in tensioners.

To follow the build up fully go to my blog.

The raw frame looks too big, looks like the Raleigh will probably fit you.

good luck with teh raleigh build,
btw your blog looks like the badger's tadgers

by badgers tadgers do you mean good? or bad?

also anyone know what the frame will be made from, as i just got a call saying the guy cant weld the new drops to it if its aluminum but its surely not made of ally?

It's not Aluminium, I can see the Hi-Tensile Steel sticker near the BB shell.

anyone know what the frame will be made from

Raleigh 18-23 Hi(gh)Ten(sile) steel according to the badge. General purpose carbon steel which any blacksmith could weld.

sweet cheers guys! s'all good for the drop-outs to be weld'd up tomorrow.

Love it ; )

Nice Rello' ;-)
What a beauty!

Makes me even more determined to straighten my act. Simoncini is on its way with full(ish) Croce d'Aune.

I mean your blog looks really nice

Ahh cheers! well it will be slowly updated with all the bike build and ill be uploading everything to here too. just in smaller amounts.

It begins with something cockpuking.

Seized stem and fucking huge shit cranks that I can't shift notwithstanding, it's off to Armourtex for a bit of RAL 9001 metallic action. I nitromors'd it because I thought it'd be fun. It wasn't. Some nitromors went in my tea by accident and I had a hot mouth for a bit.

There's a story about why but I'll save that for the finish.

Bradcomer, just outta interest, what have you done to that Golf? Looks nice, been thinking about a mk4 recently, nice wheels, coilovers I can see but there's something else that I can't put my finger on.

thats all on the exterior, its only a 1.4 too as im only 18. its had a chassis notch to get it that low, and also removed the front roll bar so it doesn't knock on the drive shafts, it breaks a lot though because of the strain on stuff from it being low. There great cars though, lovely interiors and a nice drive even at that low.

Heres my lateset all built up, A NZ Built Don Gibbs, Colombus Aero Tubing. 57Cm Square, Suntour Superb pro Hubs, laced to ambrosios, Dura Ace 7600 pedals, Nitto Stem/ bars, regal......

That would go straight to the porn thread if it had a decent paint job.

Ace work Moglix!

Moglix you pimp.

Swish. as. fuck.

Porn.
