Current Projects chat and miscellany

long story short: neighbour throwing away a perfectly good frame just because some kids cut off the brake and gears cable despite my protest that it wouldn't cost much to replace it.

Took it home, threw in some part, some bit are tricky (120mm wheel on 135mm spacing, lots of tightening to do), but netherless managed, came with vertical dropout annoyingly enough.

lots of it are founds part, Bianchi Pista rear wheel with a stripped fixed side, but freewheel side is perfect, front wheel found in Waterloo simply because it got a flat (and it's just lying there not locked to anything), stem again founds object, saddle and post luckily came with bike.

I only have one v-brake so it'll go on the back, and the front rack isn't permanent, it's just there cause it was sitting around being useless.

A nice little runabout, the only thing I brought is the tyres (32c Bontrager, excellent stuff), and a new chain;

Locking technique needs some work.
