Current Projects chat and miscellany

Someone the other day was asking about Fothergill frames so thought I would post mine - currently geared though the rear quick release seems to be slipping lately so next stop may be a SS set up.

Finally done.. Rides like a dream!

Nice! Got any updated pics? Also, what size is it?

I'm thinking of building one up too...

...cheers.

Not yet. Wheelset should be on wednesday and I should have had the crankset today. I'll try and take some pics on the way to work of how it currently is if the weather is any good.

This one is a 57cm.

@shame

thats hella nice, got some more infos on the groupo?

Ed used to have a Bianchi Pista... He used to take it into the shower with him and take photos of it... Naked... Then he sold it, now the forks want revenge and will not rest until Ed is impaled on a functional yet aesthetically pleasing front rack...

[QUOTE=Skully;1446506]I've been away for a week, but I happened to notice these a few pages back ...

Oh my days ... don't let dmczone see that ... I'm interested to see what this is all going onto!

It's going on a 731 Cougar frame, which is also 1993/94 (I'm guessing - from frame material) Mavic changed the design of the chainset in 1993. I have the later, less bling but more practical version (full Mavic geek mode)
I love the Mavic kit its sexy on a deep engineering level and also looks killer.

That cougar's the nuts, absurd. Going to be a fine bicycle you're building there!

Thanks Skully, I'm not mad about the paintjob though, I was going to get a pearl white respray, yellow Cougar transfers, I've even got original factory Reynolds stickers too.
Can't afford it right now though so I'll probs just get it built.
I've also got a Mavic GP4 wheelset built on the same hubs so I can posh it up with some tubs!

The Cougar is going to look excellent.

I'd say keep the paint, but it's your bike.

So this is done...ish
Photos when I have the right chain:
just needs a half link chain that I sill pick up from Pirate sounding forum member soon.

I must thank Holdsworth, again, alot, for
a) having the right bolt and tapping stuff to make the seatpost clamp bodge.
b) drilling the fuck out of the front brake- with difficulty as its heavily reinforced.
c) trying to not charge me for the above, and me literally shoving a tenner in their hands and walking off smiling.
Legends.
total legends

Says no.

Zedtech 606 wheelset is one of the most sought after wheel combinations. A Zedtech 404 front cuts through the wind without sacrificing front-end stability. The rear Zedtech 808 gives you additional aerodynamic savings without sacrificing too much weight.

So its actually a 404 + an 808 ...

draw?

Still says 606.

Still says 606.

Or 909 ;p

And no there is one on page 606 so we are all happy

also a Jazz Club in London

good one too.

Just because they are no longer in production, does not mean they do not exist.........

Just sayin.........

Call it 1-0?

That look seriously fun Gabe.

Nice! Saw that photo and thought I was in Bike Porn.
