sweet jesus fruit, lovely. have you got the colnago track repaired yet? (jealously been viewing your bikes)

^woof!

Colnago = porn

[bike set-up police]

tap that seat back an inch or two.

get normal grips, lengthen your cable and housing, and slide the lever out to where it should be.

there's no need to be original about these kinds of things.

what are you, the bike set-up police?

I just thought the bike must be used for TT'ing with the saddle that far forward on a seat post with no setback and the aero bars were in the post.

The saddle has only just gone on, so there are still some fine tweaks... but prolly not 2" as the rail markings are only 3cm... I know convention dictates a shorter stem > fwd seat, but I've got used to sitting more over the cranks and quite like it.

Not sure what you mean about the lever position?

Here is how my Scissor looks now that I have given up pretending to be a trickster and set up for faster road/off road rides. The Whisk fork is good is anyone needs a fork that takes big tyres as I have a 35c in there with room to spare.

what are the cranks?
ps i love it!!!

i have mailed columbus and they said i had to mail ceway, so i did, they said i had to mail colnago, havenot done that yet but i saw a 62 colnero bike that has the same tubing so i think i am going to buy that and use the tubes if i can buy the bike for not too much money

Cranks look like FSA veros.

They are FSA Gossamers that came with a Felt Breed I had last year. 32 tooth ring as I run 32/15.

awesome. cheers.

EDIT- whats the chainline?

awesome. cheers.

Never actually measured it but it must be around 42 as it gives a straight chainline. That is with the ring on the inside though.

Just done a eye/ruler measurement and it is around 41. Had to count the teeth after thinking I had a 32t ring on there and it is a 34t (34 is low enough but 32 would have been in 58GI)

... i love it!!!

Yeah me too.

Likewise the garden. Looks lush.

oh my, even the levers!!

don't tell me you found it just around the corner from your house again

hi guys...

long time lurjer on here, thought id share some of the bikes im currently building up...

this is a bit of an odd one, got some disc wheels and wanted to do an uber pimp build up, but spent money on other bikes so kinda half there....needs a better frame, older parts etc etc but work in progress...

the carbon downhill wheels... never seen a combo like that, very cool

I remember them from the 90s. never really took off, weren't all that strong, and were heavier than most alu rims, if I remember correctly.

not this one, i had to drive to some small village, his house was on a dirt road :)

kerley, your scissor is lovely! so simple, well done

haha i have a bucket of these things. literally.

How come? Or do you mean 'I've got half a bucket full of tatty old brake levers'?

just picked this up complete for around £250. very happy with it but i'll be changing the stem/bars, the seatpost, the saddle and maybe the forks.

Nice one. These are the best frames ever.

@Borntoolate. Your Claud is bonkers. In a good way.

Agreed, absolutely love it! Well done.

Nice one. These are the best frames ever.

it's a shame that it didn't have the original forks though. i'm on the look for some low rake, straight forks now.

Here is how my Scissor looks now that I have given up pretending to be a trickster and set up for faster road/off road rides. The Whisk fork is good is anyone needs a fork that takes big tyres as I have a 35c in there with room to spare.

Nice - my kinda bike

Magic skyhooks? How is it standing up?
