Current Projects chat and miscellany

Couple of my latest projects: (sorry for my horrible pictures)
Some Raleigh for my house mate

and the Visp frame just arrived. Not got the deep V wheelset yet, but apart from that I just need to cut the steerer and its done.

Dibs

oi, FAGGIN. it's the steel predecessor of my alloy vigorelli frameset.

Jv, shut up or put up

my old work bike. she's deceased now but i felt like bragging

Its a size S, 52cm toptube. 172cm.

I don't like this paint job much although I can appreciate the effort that's gone into it and the finish looks to be good. Mostly I just coz I don't like pink. Don't think there's anything wrong with the new owner changing it as it is their bike now. I would have painted it matt black myself. If you wanted to keep it like this you should have bought it yourself.

Agree - it's his bike, he can frankly do what he wants with it. I liked the pink too, though I've never been a huge GT fan (I think it stems from disliking the shop that used to sell them around my parts!). Polished bikes look nice, that one is nicely polished, therefore it looks nice.

Someone was polishing a Klein MTB around here a few months back, and it looked killer - I imagine that had some pretty nice paint on it beforehand, but no one got so excited about that.

@Eingang ... poste bitte mal ein paar Detailbilder von dem Somec ... sieht echt geil aus!

wow, nice! got any pics built up? what happened to it?

@chspaceman: din't see it, didn't love it as much as the gt. sorry mate.

@matty cheers. she died in my arms at the great more london tragedy of 2008. ie we got run over in the loading bay delivering to those wankers ernst and young...

The only reason i use the word idiot is because you are peddling lies. You haven't seen the frame in ages because i've had it locked up for ages and the picture you refer to is quite old. No offence intended to you personally though. The other comments don't warrant a rise. As you were.

April 17th mate, Forum ride day.
This bike was there, and in London Fields afterwards, it was a saturday.
I doubt there's 2 pink GT's in London.
The bike looked amazing, I remember calling my friends attention to the bike
passing by, dunno if you were the one carrying it but I'm sure it was that motherfucking
frame.

all you fuxin ninnyhammers need a pair of these to put things to bed.

fuck what a shame. here's a sad face for you --> :(

like this Jill Furtado replica.

Who is Jill Furtado, and is she related to mountain bike legend Juliana Furtado

Yep, it's her sister

God, everyone shut up about that pink GT already. It wasn't even the original paint FFS.

It looks bloody good stripped (though I just don't get triple triangles). Ray's build was ace and I told him so at the time, but Richoking's version is also top notch.

Ray's was all NJS stuff whereas Richoking has gone the performance route, with stuff from mostly American manufacturers I.e. truer to the frame anyway.

What a load of bitchy bullshit. These are pushbikes remember.

+100

i acctually really like it.

These are pushbikes remember.

Not just ordinary pushbikes.
these are LFGSS pushbikes.

M&S advert style voice over.

Having read some of the petty whining about that stripped gt, i feel like posting some pics of lovely paint jobs, then blasting them off, just to give the finger to those on here who think they have the right to dictate how someone sets up their bike! Fuck you! If the owner wants to paint his bike with elephant poo, its hos fukkin bike to do with as he wants.
I cannot imagine those forum members whom ive met in person taking such an attitude, its always seemed like a bike-appreciating society, and do it ahould be. Take the piss oversomeones taste by all mrans, but this stupid slagging makes you look like wankers.

Elephant poo could be kinda jaunty...

googles

Is that pink (now polished) GT a Pulse or a GTB?!
and how long did it take to polish that frame?

Right this one has been a long time coming..

Still some bits I want to change out but I couldn't wait. Pink panther is no more!

Looking good mate! Really don't know what the fuss is all about, ride soon.

Not just ordinary wankers,
these are LFGSS wankers.

In retrospect I was a bit harsh about the GT (and pissed)... I apologise... It was just such an iconic bike... I blame polo... Cunts...

It was a bit harsh, but it did have me pissing me pants last night :-D

Sorry Rich O'King.

I blame it on the shitty out of focus pictures (also pissed).

I'll get some decent ones up soon.
