Current Projects chat and miscellany

thanks Ed! I was trying to keep it as Japanese as possible hence the spec - except for the Simplex shifters as they are possibly the best in the biz and the Brooks, no comment. of course a TA crankset is a randonneur classic but I really like the 39-15/17 gearing with a straight chainline.

how much would it cost to get track ends put on a frame?
cheers

UTFS and you'll find threads like this.

Also worth searching for the list of UK frame builders (it's somewhere here). Then you know who to talk to.

Also worth remembering there isn't really any advantage to track ends over forward facing dropouts.

they are vertical dropouts
thanks

Ok. Maybe have a look into the White Industries Eno hub. That way you leave the frame original.

Just been putting the finishing touches to my Casati, readying it for a season at Herne Hill.

New saddle, seat post, bars and stem for this year.

Rubbish

Like fuck! ACE! Well, jeal!

Faultless Andy

Beautiful frame! Not too sure about the bars though...

They look rather shitty on this angle, I must say. Looks much better irl.
Thanks, Peter. :) It's gonna be hard to hand it over..

Want to strip and polish mine for me? I'll pay you in crisps and beer...

Never ever again... not even if you paid me in ketamine and Victoria Pendleton's used underwear.

not sure on the white rim, just bought it because it was a good deal, will probably go with silver and rebuild it. Can't conplain though, cycles like a dream, dead happy with it

Awesome, did Shimano intend on RS80 reading as "Asbo"?

Ha... interesting, we don't just share the same tastes in mountainbikes..:.

Hopefully picking this up tomorrow as Project:Beater

Looks like a Brooklyn....

....from Croydon. ;)

Overpriced hybrid

How much am I paying Rob?

Too much, Neil.

Very good job! It looks really good. The rear wheel shot with the seat tube is nice! Could look ultra cool as a stealth bike. I bet its great fun to ride!

cheers, yeah I think I will end up changing the front wheel, going a bit stealth. And its one hell of ride, lovely and smooth :)

did you just do a ride called the warwick 100? i saw some one on a bike just like that

This is heading my way.

All SLX, all Campag, and all in amazing condition. I won't make any drastic changes to begin with, maybe replace the bar tape, tyres, and cable-outers with black ones. That's only cosmetic though. Might look out for a pair of Shamals/Ventos/Zondas for it at some point in the future, as a 'Sunday best' wheelset!

Check out the chrome-paint fade:

Are those forks fade to chrome?

i ahve looked into it and trying to find a second hand set
but there seem to be none
cant afford a new set :(

Stunner. Love the forks. I think a silver stem would suit it nicely.

didn't Tel have a pair of Zonda's for sale?
