Current Projects chat and miscellany

Putting air in yo tyre ≠ a project ppl.

you removed silly logos from the bar, yet persist on having MASSIVE logos pasted absolutely everywhere?

A project report on behalf of my brother, who walked off with this after helping out Dad with a long-needed shed clear-out yesterday. AFAIK, it's a Geoffrey Butler, plain gauge 531, early 80s?? Powered me to victory as Schoolboy of the Year at Herne Hill, 1988 - mainly because of lack of schoolboys at Herne Hill - and will be made into a roadworthy fixie I believe. Sorry for NDS, it's actually quite a nice Dura Ace chainset.

Not sure what he's got in mind but I'll report back if I ever see it finished.

gave the winter bike a facelift

bar tape feels fail, but wanted done without spending,and had it languishing in the parts bin

flitesaddle, & king h/s donated from other traded bikes,added a crank, rd, and shifters that were in better nick

That's a pretty nice winter bike. What's your summer/weekend ride?

ohh, don't go there mate)

Hahaha, come on, you've gota show us now!

The Merlin looks great - just doing up an REW Reynolds and I might be inspired by the red brake cables as I've just gone for gum brake lever covers...

I got this Raleigh Gran Sport about two days ago.This bike would be my winter bike.
I want to restore it,and I want to put some mudguard on it.Change the saddle and the seatpost etc..The frame is 64.The bike cost me 60£

Noice! I wish my dad had some track frames in the shed, he has got a 50s FW Evans road bike in there but he isn't giving it up any time soon.

what nice stiff and silver cranks are there that are meant for JIS tapers? if any? Im currently running a shimano 600 set with a 1/8 track chainring, but is there anything better?

French thread bottom bracket so unless you go phil wood its got to be JIS (or really expensive NOS campag which i dont really want to pay)

shit, I've been unmasked

Pompetamine got a new coat of paint.

Just lookin for a black stem now. Head badge and decals are on the way.

black stem??? silver works with everything else!!

black stems with silver headsets tend to look awful.. JS

I was just going to say, wouldn't it be a little lonely there?

I have a black Thomson, I could live without 110mm I think

I really like that Chris Borneo, got any more pictures?

What are the forks?

Turquoise ftw.

I'd beg to differ :)

Lovin the 70s/80s touches at the moment, hence the white tape and gum hoods. I hope I can get it all to look right on a modern build.

Will get some more pics up when I've got decals n head badge. Forks are Kona P2s

Pompetamine is well nice! Not a fan of the saddle though, although it might just be the angle of the photo

Can anyone 'chop these to make them lighter so they can be viewed?
