Current Projects chat and miscellany

You should've stayed quiet. I told you, that the frame feels tad tall, so there's always a chance... Now you blew it! :-p

There is no frame in the world describable as 'a bit tall' that would ever fit me. Trust.

haha i was gonna say something, but thought better of it

Owwwwww... Pity then.

For some reason I thought of you as Max™ size.

That's just his personality

You'd like the fillet brazed Argos then, before I passed it to Joe. It was something between 52 and 53cm.

Owwwwww... Pity then.

For some reason I thought of you as Max™ size.

That's just my domineering personality...

5'8" of pure honky over here.

HAHAHA Woody got there before me! You coming to the Alleycat tomorrow Woodz you bastard?

Dunno, i wanna,if i race depends on if my cranks arrive, and if i show at all depends on how much information on the chinese propaganda system i manage to devour by tomorrow. Im sure i'll be arround for at least a can though. you racing?

Two projects here: http://s123.photobucket.com/albums/o288/banterous/Interpro%20and%20Burls/

First my new Interpro/Nagasawa frame, just fitted a DA headset to it and on the hunt for some forks so I can convert to ahead...

Secondly, my Dad's Burls Ti, now pretty much finished with Phil Wood/CXP33 wheels. Will change the bar-tape at some point.

More pics of both to be found here: http://s123.photobucket.com/albums/o288/banterous/Interpro%20and%20Burls/

^ stunners.

Fuck me arantrek can I have your dad as my dad?

Thanks Slimjim,

Skully - haha! I know, he does love his bikes. The Burls is in addition to a Giant TCR zero, Marin Alp 1, Whyte E-120 and Whyte 19 and a Litespeed Ti hardtail. It makes me envious.

Out of interest, why do you want to go ahead on your interpro? I would leave it as is, apart from the pedals ;)

Cool.

btw, Envious, not jealous. Unless you covet the love he shows for his bikes? (which does sound rather lovingy love ...)

Envious it is. I've never really thought about the difference.

Hellomiles - I'd like to use the bike on the track in a few months time and the current stem etc is flexy as! Yep, I have a pair of SPD-SLs for longer rides.

I want to be riding that burls right now

Envious it is. I've never really thought about the difference.

A lorra lorra people haven't either. I've made it a personal anal-retentive mission to correct people when they misuse jealous. Sorry, I was being a prick.

I'm only envious of your lovely bikes.

Built me (finally) some high falutin' fancy road wheels. Dished proper, tensioned evenly and everything.
DA 7800/Open Pro/Sapim CX-Ray and Race.

Cool.

Precisely, my Missus is *Jealous* of my bikes, not envious ; D

O M G...That Simoncini frame!

too small for you though[t]

Yes! I'm not alone!

i've never really got over how nice that burls is

I was meant to put my new budget build together today but the oven at the painters is broken and the frame won't be done till Monday at best so I put all the bits on my Major Nichols frame instead. Tape looks a bit wrong but I'm hoping it'll look better with the Raleigh frame in light metallic blue.

Nice ride there, Chris. Original paint job an' all ;-)

Thats a bloody nice build Chris!
Love it.

i've never really got over how nice that burls is

Yea, it really is nice. It's only plain gauge ti, but it rides beautifully, is stiff and very light. The drivetrain is my favourite bit of it - so, so smooth.
