Current Projects chat and miscellany

Nice one Sumo ;)

Lovely setup Sumo, as risers go those actually look really nice. I need to pick up something like those that have an inch and a half or so more on each side than the current bar I have.

Edit: What grips are those?!

Crappy phone pics/ teaser... Almost ready!

Fucking love those chainrings!!!!!!

Finally completed my Lynskey with the addition of an Enve Composites stem to match the fork.

Very pleased with it, although given it cost more than my road bikes, it's partly a relief that I like it so much...

That langster is one of the few that looks in any way good to me.

I feel the opposite way.

My first time posting here. This is my 1976 SB numbered Team raleigh track that I ride to work everyday.

It could probably do with some white Cinelli bartape but I quite like the crazy fade stuff it has on it right now... It has a mix of Campag pista and SR pista hardware but what the hell, I love it as it is!

Federal- just standard track grips. Similar to those made by Charge/Condor/Brev M.

It would probably fit me. PM me with how much you want for it if you do sell it. I'd be after the F+F & seat collar.

will do.

FYI, it's 63cm from c-t-t seattube, 55 to centre of TT for a more comfortable stand over height.

I might be interested too, if max doesn't have it.

Mèèèèn, is that a "Theo Bos" track stem on a roadbike ?
Wonder what Guy will say...

Mine never turned up.

The seller ripped me off, no stem, and paypal won't get involved, because it was UK -> Germany payment :-(

@hobo, cinelli??

Where'd you get that bartape?

Can they do that? I thought that uk-de transactions were classed as domestic under the Maastricht Treaty, which makes it illegal to treat transactions between treaty signatories in a different way to transactions within signatory countries.

Where'd you get that bartape?

A local store.

The Viking is pretty much done now.Lastly though, I have an open pro rim and a choice of an SA geared hub or a mailard 6speed hub to build it onto. what do you reckon?

Also, the project I have had done a while now;

Fly Tierra bmx. Recently got a new eclat hubset.... sexy as fuck!

:)

hmmm, you polishing it?

liking that viking
just finished one myself
you kept the cottered cranks ?
what model is it out of interest ?

its a 1953 Ian Steel. Yeah, kept the cottered cranks, but have had no end of problems with them! Have you got any photos of yours?

the old polobike is now my new winter-/city-/whatever-bike.
changed the stem, the chain and the crankset (incl. gear ratio), added a front brake and bigger tires. but it's still current. next step: stripping the paint.

Saw you in 'Look Mum No Hands' yesterday. Nice bike, looks my size... I was considering stealing it.

^^ a Dario Pegoretti paintjob on your il pompino!

Now that is seriously big time. Even puts Max's (planned) blinged up one to shame.
