Current Projects chat and miscellany

My current project:

Cinelli 2a stem X Cinelli 67-39 bars, combo.
Perfect now.
Kinda...

Look like Max got caught not working again...

He'll drag you down to his level, nuknow... Mark... My... Fucking... Words...

...to his level...

He's need to have one 1st.

didnt you swap frames recently?

Didn't happened. Might have the frame available soon though...

Just for you, handlebar match the sticker.

This looks like great fun! Love it.

looks like an insane mistake!

looks like an insane mistake!

The bicycle is very tolerant of adjustments to the steering geometry, as long as you keep the trail within modest bounds it turns out that a change of several degrees to the head angle is barely noticeable.

It's a nice bike but personally I don't get having brake levers and no brakes, or a stem that is so off flat.

Its Ed bike, he is a peculiar* caracter, his bikes are peculiar... this one was not going to be the
exception

*in a nice way

A BMX with drops??

what frame is that Gabe ??

Brooklyn Machine Works Gangsta Track V.2

It's a nice bike but personally I don't get having brake levers and no brakes, or a stem that is so off flat.

Could have just used 3cm of spacers on the steerer and had a flat stem and bars and hoods flatter. Not as though 3cm of spacers would be noticeable on a steel steerer!

Alternatively, just need a frame that has a 3cm longer headtube but guess there isn't much choice on that...

I don't get having...a stem that is so off flat.

The stem is just a beam which has to get from the top of the headset to the centre of the bars by the best route. Making what should be a short straight line into a series of zigzags for aesthetic reasons is taking the scenic route for the benefit of everybody except the person actually riding it.

Max had finished work for the day at this point, having spent hours riding around in fucking freezing conditions.

I'm with Joe too, that Brooklyn looks fucking hideous Ed. Sort it out!

i quite like it, when you get the new forks on it will look cool.
risers would look better though...

Well done on the Royale! It looks great... very balanced.

Indeed. I used to have one myself. Outgrew it though.

I like it, though a bit beefy as I only ride SS on country roads, still looking towards the Pompino, unless anybody else has nice slooping frames to suggest

Pompino are a great frame to start with, some says it a bit uninspiring off-road (think it was Andy?), but netherless a very solid and stable frame.

Finally got the last bits on the Dolan, now in winter training/commute/shopping/snow-what-snow? mode. Just been out on first run around the block - very happy.

picked up this birmingham sun today, covered in grim but all there :)

no idea of model though, 10 speed. I'm thinking late 55-65

I don't get all the hate for the Brooklyn? Personally I'd run Kona P2 forks with a disk brake up front and on one midge bars but each to their own
