Bob Jackson, first fixed!

What cranks are they?

Rogan you need to post an image of the finished build

I moved to london this weekend, the bikes still in manchester till the 22nd unfortunately!

Cheers i'll get some straps and pedals then!

What cranks are they?

Shimano 600 tri-color

Also, my risers

Grip, bar ends, tape? whats recommended?

whats recommended?

Gearz ;)

It'll get gears one day down the line! Don't worry!

grip? just get what ever, i'm guessing you have mtb style risers that take rubber grips? I've seen a couple of users with the odi longneck xl's, or the original longneck if you don't want the long ones.

nah the risers are too short for them, question i meant was is it better to tape them and get bar ends or get grips, or does it make no diff ;D

What I meant was, if you have bars designed for rubber grips then use rubber grips, some risers like nitto 260's have a larger diameter and are designed for bar tape.

Ahh i get you, cheers ill do some looking into it

Need's bullhorns!

Sorry! Been very busy but heres the final piece, not set up totally comfortably yet!

Wow, this build looks so slick. Can't wait to see finished pictures!

Not sure if its my arse just getting used to the cycling or a crap saddle, we'll see, and im not sure the bars are going to work, they'll most likely need swapping out!

There we go, working photo!

why route the brake cable like that? you'll get avoidable cable rub on the frame

its cos it needs cutting down and i don't have anything to cut it with atm, need to sort your right

That looks nice, im not a big fan of conversions but it came out well. You just need some grips now.

Some rides with my housemate i fancy that id only manage with gears so later i summer i might get a road bike and respray the bob, or more likely get a track frame and go gears on bob

Looks good, bartape or grips tho? or at least bar ends?

Bullhorns (Charge)
Bartape (Deda)
Saddle (Flux Brooks is resting)
Christophe clips and leather straps

Green and tan go very well together IMHO

..respray the bob..

no, don't mess up a really nice frame finish, unless you're going for a similar level of refinement [imho]

no, don't mess up a really nice frame finish, unless you're going for a similar level of refinement [imho]

If i was to get it resprayed it would be sent back up to BJ so I'd keep the quality

really nice frame but it really deserves gears. that's what it was built for...
