matching tyres

Adjustable Front Basket Design

Ikea Basket £4.09
M5 nuts and bolts FREE

Disassembled

Small

Large

The idea being, one half will be fixed to the bike as normal and the other half can be shifted back or forward to change the size by undoing the 4 bolts

nice concept.

i like it.

Path racer for Mrs Harrong is nearly done (I like it a lot so we might do some sharing).

Seat pin, bar tape, clip the excess cable, dust caps for the cranks change the brake hoods. I will put a freewheel on the flop side as she is not too keen on high cadence down hill.

Slack chain - stiff ....

pompino arrived today :-)

Pretty much finished. Would like a different saddle and some double straps but they will have to wait.

a contender for the most beautiful hubs ever. Still not quite as pretty as c record large flange pistas

hobo that looks fucking cool.

stripped mash?

stripped mash?

Yep.

hobo that looks fucking cool.

Thanks.

Hobo: indeed very good! Cool touch with the decals!

I'll come up with summit quite like that in a week or so: stripped Dolan Track Champ, rear rigida dp18 powdercoated black (it's the old school without machined brake surface), black spokes, silver nipples on black planet-x, front unknown mavic wheel, black bladed spokes, 24h cool paired spoke pattern, SRAM S300 black with 54t FSA dinner plate ring, black Syntace stem and pursuit bar.. Seatpost will be stock Alpina, but probably will be replaced with carbon woodman in a matter of weeks, Fizik Arione.. Will go to the strippers (as in the company which will strip my frame) this week and drop off the rear wheel to be tensioned at a friend.. Excited!
