Current Projects chat and miscellany

A friend painted my name and a mascot on the Obree bike.

Nice frame!

We have a new Flickwg. Now where's that potatoe chop of the Flite entering outerspace?

New bike almost there.

I got a gipiemme sprint front brake for my Bob Jackson but it has a couple of bits missing the fixing nut which is easy enough. But the adjuster bolt that's missing is giving me a bit of trouble, has anyone got any advise as to where I could find anything appropriate?

Looks like Weinmann parts would fit, but QR versions of the 500/730 and early 605s probably aren't laying around in people's parts bins in such profusion as they were 20 years ago.

This arrived at my office this morning courtesy of peter v so i popped it together this afternoon, should make a nice beater!

Definitely imo. Waterbottle bosses, full braze-ons, low BB, rear brake bridge.

It doesn't really make a difference tho, so I wouldn't worry. Personally I'd have kept the mudguard eye's as they're useful and never really notice. But it's a really nice build, and you've done it to a budget, which always feels good.

Yeah I think you're right, I had suspected about the low BB and clearances and for £15 I guess I was expecting too much! That said, it was definitely a fun and cheap build so I'm happy.

I'm looking for someone to do some pinstriping/painting on (of all things) a toy car. Would you mate be keen?

Sorry Chrobin, that was meant for you.

I expect chrobin's mate is in Sweden (gateway to the North), a bit of a trip to Balham.

That's wicked - really nice detailing work and always good to see this project resurrected

Fair call. Anyone know of someone closer with the required skill set?

Here is the Bianchi Squadra frame from the classifieds built up fixed - please excuse the Roadracers/lights and a somewhat slack chain.

nice... what size is it?

It's a 55cm c-c, 59xm c-t.

@ Hazard Ali: Smooth. Columbus Max?

both are my current project , im still looking for some pantographed rossin component and due lots of paint chips and deep scratches im thinking for repaint it, what do you guys think ?

I actually haven't even thought about the tubing.
It seems that it's called "Dedacciai Fire" (according to this, if I translated it correctly)
The frame is super light and I must say the paintwork is amazing even though it's very prone to scratching.

...Must be the coolest thing you can get for 430euros (380£).

<2 amazing pursuit frames.>

Wow.

rOeLez's got expensive tastes

Don't respray the Rossin!
