Current Projects chat and miscellany

eingang, sorry for this massive quiestionnaire :) but how tall are you and what's the ctt os the seattube? also, is that some sort of "standard" dodici frameset or was it custome made? cheers

finished today. now ready for the 1.500km to barcelona.

Gorgeous job mate!! Enjoy it!

Well I'm glad to hear that mate, it would be pretty crazy to ride that much miles without even a whiff of a saddle bag!

good luck on the long journery.

@scorch: seattube: 61 (c/c), toptube 60 (c/c) (custom order)

@ed: we have a huge van for all our stuff!

there're only 4 frames pictured on the blog. what are the other two guys ridin?

are you using the bike as is, or swapping for clipless pedals?

Are you going to use the hipster cyst for the 1500km ride??

@scorch: the others riding only parts due to some knee problems, driving the van or documentating the tour (photo+video)

@t4003: I've never ridden a bike with clipless pedals, so i won't change to it 2 days before we start. i know that clipless is better, next time

Yeah cantilevers are literally homosexual. You want to stay away from cyclocross races if you're a pretty boy, I'll tell you that.

Note to self: start riding cyclocross.

enjoy the ride! @eingang

That looks ace. What frame is it?

ta, It's a saracen chromo-steel thing I got from ebay for £45. Got it sprayed up flat red and looks alot more expensive now. Spent more than I wanted on the parts but it should ride ok hopefully

P.S. I wont be doing cyclocross races on it! I am far to camp(and unfit/unskilled) for that to be honest

I like this a lot... + nuknow's ride is sweeet too.

finished today. now ready for the 1.500km to barcelona.

Love it. (Would be my choice of frame colour also) The frame is a custom size but not style. It's a Special.

cheers mate, was this frame on your short list? (genuine question)

Always admired it... http://www.dodicicicli.com/products/dodici-special-frame Yep ;o)

From no bikes to two! It has been a good day.

liking the race bike!!

very nice, im currently saving up for my special almost there now.

yeah i'd like to know that aswell
really nice looking bar/stem combo

3ttt stem, 3ttt Competizione Gimondi bars.

@ nuknow are those Kenda (kwik track) tyres? 32s?

Conti Contact 28c, it will take up to 32c though(t).

Anyone know who manufactures the Dodici frames? Deda?

ow man thats beautiful whats under the bonnet? ztec?..A series?

A-series 1275 John Cooper Works S... Haven't done anything with it under the bonnet yet other than a Millenium twin DTM upswept exhaust system... Planning to maybe add an Eaton supercharger or if I really go crazy it'll be a 2litre Civic Type R engine... Kind of don't want to lose the A -series seeing as it is factory works...

Going to swap out as much of the bodywork as I can for CF to try and shed a few kilos, no need for more power if you can lose some weight off it...

Anyone know who manufactures the Dodici frames? Deda?

I sure, there hand made in Italy and its cheaper to get them shipped over rather then going to TFG who stock the Gara and special framesets
