Yeah, but they're like 45c or somin, they'll be too big for the clearances once the wheels are set in properly.

What frame is that?

Here's mine, finally done.

Either you're in league with the Anodizer from Hell or you need to fix your filter.

That looks good.

Is it a KHS?

FixedCheese, a really nice luminous green there. Any idea if that's a standard Ral colour, 6038 for instance?

Brought the Frame from Pistoffski

Finally finished it and took it out for a 17milejaunt today....my first time Fixed and was impressed....gearing is48:20 at the moment as i want to take it steady first.....

Had a few probs getting into the ToeStraps....will persevere for a while or go over to SPD's.

not a project, just a plain and simple show off.
here's the new bike, that I've got today.

Many thanks to The_BMX-KId.

suggest you get pedals with the tab on the bottom so you can tap them round to slide your foot in > http://www.wiggle.co.uk/mks-sylvan-track-pedals/

Cheers for the Tip on the Pedals may give them a try.
Then the SPD's can stay on the Geared Roadbike.

where did you get the wheels from?

Latest situation for the winter beater...

Gonna get some different, slightly smaller tyres and need some spacer thingies for the hubs. Seat post on it's way, saddle purchased, just need grips, front calliper, cables, chain, pedals and straps!

Nigel, low seatpost, deep drop track bars and a raised stem on a big old pile of spacers...

I would put a spacer between the top cap and the stem as well, innit.

I was a little worried that perhaps I had made the photo a bit too Tumblr.

That looks good.

Is it a KHS?

Thanks. It basically is - it's a Kilo TT, one of the ones with bottle cage mounts and no decals. They're the same frame other than those two things.

everything loosely placed - facing the bb and installing the headset tomorrow.. am happy so far! fitting the bigger grey ring and bar tape too if i have time

If you're asking me, then it's some old Raleigh from 1980. The powercoating has filled in the frame number on the seat tube, so it's hard to tell exactly what Raleigh. It's weird, it has cable guide and pump braze-ons but nothing else...

Armourtex said it was a pantone, not a RAL. I just went up there and picked it out, they have a sample tube of it next to the desk.

where did you get the wheels from?

Off the forum. Halo Aerowarriors laced to Halo hubs.

Either the hubs are too wide or the drop outs too small (by quite a bit), the wheels don't fit in properly... Time to get the tape measure out.

Just needs a lick of paint ...

wow! ^

Cheers for the info. I've got something similar in mind.

Fixed cheese it looks like your dropout are oldstyle 14mm and not the standard 15mm.

Sorry dude, I'm not sure I know what you mean. What part of the dropout is 1.4cm?

Nice, better if that Arsenal bag is yours?

not a football fan, we just do lots of work for them- hundreds of arsenal bits all over the office!
