Current Projects chat and miscellany

sorry to quote a couple of pages back, but why are you running this gorgeous frame that looks like a track frame (i cant see dropouts) with such a low gear and a brake? i find it easy to imagine without a front brake, but surely it should be used on aforementioned track? and such expensive paraphernalia on it (seatpost) doesn't fit with the low gear...

It's a P2, not a track frame. The seat post is proprietary, you have no choice with the P2/P3/P4 etc. but to run the stock Cervelo post. That brake set up would come off with a couple of Allen keys, given the hinged clamp on a cross top lever, making it ready for the track after riding to the velodrome.

That just leaves the gear, which looks soft, but maybe there's a tiny cog on the other side. With the very short slots on the P2, it might be necessary to run what amounts to a micro drive to get track and road gearing within the small tooth difference available, e.g. 44/13 would be OK for HH, 44/16 is a street gear, only needs ⅜" of axle movement.
