Current Projects chat and miscellany

€2.09 here - http://www.bike24.com/1.php?content=8;navigation=1;product=29385;page=1;menu=1000,4,301;mid=416;pgc=0

(plus €5.99 shipping)

€2.00 for silver at starbike. I think Bike24 shipping is cheaper, though.

They are all about the same, the one tester posted was for black, the other 2 silver.

two half built projects tonight

dolan fxe which will be a touring/audax fixed

And Look 595 that will be an expensive wall ornament

DIY! Shouldn't be too hard with a Dremel, drill and a bit of planning.

Looks like you could use a couple flat spanners to start with. Chop off the ends and drill a couple holes.

Panaracer Ribmo? 310g and pretty good puncture protection, only had to patch up my tube once in a year from a bloody chunky piece of glass.

I think I've decided on Ultremos for my seta, anyone feel like arguing with me?

Now that's a mountain bike.

Matching pedals even! wanted to get those but were a little worried whether it's better or worse than the XT+

seem pretty good so far, had to tighten the springs up from out the box tension, but lighter than XTR and accept a shimano cleat. ill see how they do off road on sunday

My current project: A paletti bike, just for fun.
I don't know what to do with it.
Dura-ace 8v derailleurs
Campagnolo levers and brake.
Paletti
Don't know if i put it on Campa or Shimano 8v or if I would better build it like my other italian bike with modern transmission? (Tommasini)

If there's any advice, I'll take it ;)

Dead 23c hardshell... Am I going to get a 28c rando in here?

you cant ask this question on the internet without at least hinting how far the wheel in the dropout/close to seattube is..

There is room in the dropout, and room to the seat tube... the bridge is the issue. I'm not lengthening the chain, and it is currently just right tension wise.

add one more link.

no

Surely you skid the Rando till it fits (using another bike obvs) or HTFU and file away at the bridge! ;)

If i remember correctly the bridge has already been hammered in, maybe dont file anything:) in that case rando will rub.

how wide are your rims?

Well, it's in, just, but my wheel is a little out so it's catching the chainstay and the bridge at some points... Will swap out from a 18 to a 17 cog...

Langster freecycle build coming along nicely, thanks to Armourtex for a free paintjob & everyone that donated parts so far.

Also got a Peugeot town cruiser coming along nicely too.

check the thread to see if there's anything decent you'd donate :)

already got a 17 in there.... ):

16?

Nah there are alot of hills round here! The pub bike is meant to have 47x18 on not sure why that 17 is on there.... Was given a folding 25c Maxxis Detonator last week so have put that on, no idea what they're like for skids though.

Tried to put the 18 cog back on but won't go with the 25c...

Ditch the frame, contact sumo, get a mtb.

A nice blue GT?

already haz.

No a kind of ugly brownish one
