Current Projects chat and miscellany

Uuuh path bike... not really. Road bike? no. It's the SJS 'winter bike', they sold tgem for about £150 for frame and forks, made of tange ChroMo, kind of tourer geo, 'steers like a boat' (< quote from a well known canadian witch...). I think tge cable stop was for a hub gear, or something.

And the expression is 'track ends', as opposed to 'drop outs' which face forward or down.

So ner.

I bought this frame for £15 via a couple of people on here, it was in pretty poor condition (bad paint work, seized bottom bracket/crank and seatpost) but I stripped the paint, removed the seized parts etc and got a neighbour to spray it for free.

Judging from the mudguard eyelets, average clearances and drilled rear brake (the former I must admit I removed) it looks to be a path not a track frame. It's quite light and has made for a good starting point for my first 'proper' build. Thanks to those that provided parts - still awaiting some better forks, chainring and a couple of other bits but for now I'm happy.

There's some more pretentious spiel and extra photos on my equally pretentious blog which can be found here.

i wonder why you kept the cable stopper...
