Current Projects chat and miscellany

I thought it was about time I got round to making apost of some reason projects.

So first off is a ciooc frame that I have only just aquired, hopefully going to be a nice fixie conversion.

Needs a lot of work and I need some help! Here is the link to the detailed pics on flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/60734120@N02/sets/72157626749833311/
I think it's a quality frame and a genuine ciocc, when i got it was all built up with C record :) taken what I could off but some bits are stuck :( So anyone got any ideas how to free a stuck stem, and bront brake caliper? Also anyone know what tool i need to get that downtube shifter off? And can I just use a normal lockring tool to shift the bb? I love the frame though especially the awesome bb shell :D

Next up is my koga miyata superwinner alloy.

this is how she currently looks wearing a full late 80's 105 group. The bike is the 1990 model and when finished will be weraing the original full sante group as well as all the other original parts some of which arepretty awesome, including the oringinal co2 canisters that fit to the underside of the dt, original seat post and rolls saddle (which has koga miyata where san marco normally is!), bottle cage e.c.t. I have nearly got the full group just need the rear mech. The only thing tht won't be original is the stem, I've opted for a 78 3ttt with the hinged clamp so i can easily switch between drops and tt bars. When in tt mode she will also have an aero seatpost and disc covers for the rear wheel :D

Finally a finshed cheap dawes fixie a build for someone a while ago

Quite pleased with the results considering a tight budget. Aerotrack wheels, 105 headset and bb, 105 front brake,itm stem stem, a respray and some cut risers. She felt very tight indeed and very solid even when doing a few light tricks. Oh and the pedals didn't stay like that, just for the handover :D

So let me know what you think and any advice on the ciocc would be great thanks.
