Uuu cool bike and khuul cranks. Looking for smth similar.

Hang on, what now?

I'm a smith. You want smth similar? I iz not khuul though.

Love the Holdsworth kingcutter

Just noticed the sign -haw haw!

Cheers pistofski for my flite - looks alright I think. Can see why you need the cash with that eddy lowpro!

I thought I'd post up a picture of my current project so far...

Its a Columbus SLX Eddy Merckx Team Motorola TT Frame that I've had for a while, and I have been slowly recruiting bits and bobs for it, It's going to be a wall hanger really - but it's a fun project.

The bars/stem are only palced on/in - so obviously bar angles etc aren't right.

Just lacking DT shifters and a Campag seat binder bolt and I'm done (other missing bits already en route)

That looks amazing. I love that Motorola colour scheme.

Have you sourced a Campag seat binder bolt yet? I've probably got a spare one you can have if you want. PM me if you're interested.

This is my first attempt -

frame from hilary - raleigh pulsar
charge dish wheels

and then odd bits lieing about my garage...

what does anyone think - needs tidying up ie bits sawn off and is of course a pretty poor frame....

had alot of fun smashing it about though - dont get any fixies at all arond my town!

Fuck me - big lad aye?

Nearly finished my Holdsworth.

I need to ditch the brake hoods and get a clamp on. Then leather bar tape and I think I'm done.

Rode to Portsmouth and back last Saturday (from Brighton) And it was super comfy and fast enough to keep up with a geared Colnago.

Why not get something like this instead of a cross lever?;

so much bike envy. That thing is beautiful

Don't worry 'Skully' the wicked Triumph head badge was very very carefully removed with hairdryer and gentle persuasion, and has safe place on sticker backing until the build is done and then its back in pride of place, and not trashed, although the foil type TT decal were all scuffed to buggery so got binned on the stripping down.....

Fear not !!!

Aha! Well done you.

Nice^!

What brake caliper is that? And very nice

Because that wouldn't be a solution to his problem, would it now, Ed?

Campagnolo Gran Sport caliper , same for headset and brake lever.

Finally got round to building my new bicycle.
Slapped together in nervous hurry, shit pics and sorry about the brake!
531c tubed, Taurus cycle shop track frame, unknown builder. Open pros on goldtec etc.

Jogger,
don't you like the brake clamp?.Nice bike all looks good to me & the pic. :o)

Nice frame! needs drops (and a trip to the track) though I reckon.

ok so need advice: I get the rear wheel on to notice the line line isn't perfect, so I change round the spacers to get the chain line right but now the rear wheel is distinctly off centre. I'm thinking a slightly off chain line is a better option that the wheel being off to one side

Its making me think round peg, square hole

meh, i rode with a wheel off to one side for a few months for the exact same reason, and i had no problems. preferred it to the bad chain line. I'm sure i'll get shot down though for being irresponsible and dangerous!

I did the same. 120mm hubs, spaced to 126mm. 2mm of spacers on the non-drive side and 4mm on the drive side. Meh.

I think I have worked a compromise: swheel ever so slightly off centre, and the chain line ever so slightly out

No wonder I vote Liberal

Nearly finished, just waiting for a replacement stem to arrive.
