Current Projects chat and miscellany

Broke a spoke on my Bobs front wheel (the wheel that i bought cheap with a broken spoke, then took to micycle for them to replace and true)

I dont know if its the same spoke but god dam its out of true alot again... starting to think this wheel might be on its way out

@soar: pls remove a chain link! also the spacers and the stem looking horrid. BUT, still a great frame!

Stem flipped and slammed would look better than that, Eingang hat Recht.

What frame is that, a Textima?

Olagnero in the raw.

fes!

Version #3. A few tweaks - new saddle and bars. Probably change the bar tape for grips, but that's about it.

What? no gold part? I am disappointed!

Moser Road build

still in progress... http://www.lfgss.com/thread106838.html

Front rim Ambrosio Metamorphosis, rear Open Pro CD...?

Spot on Regal! (on campag low flanges) and thank you guys.

finally found some 36 hole superbe pro hubs at a decent price

Could you possibly PM me the going rate for these, what you paid not the extortionate ones? I have a set on a road bike , just completely unsure of value.

The race bike as of late. Took me a while to find a good position but a 120 stem wrapped it

looks nice.

Sadly not had any time to work on the Gautheron as hoped (always seems to be the case) but not wanting a stupid wheelset go to waste I did have time to do this -

^^^ did you purposely go quite small on the frame? or does it fit well at that length?

^^^^ aches me every time i see worn Exalith :(

there is no going rate , ebay.com trawls will give you an idea,
I gave 60 euros for the wheelset, but then I'm half pikie/half jack russel
a set sold on ebay.de with campagnolo for about 110 euros recently, and I've seen nos hubs for $200 +
e.g.

Siiiick. Ta.

yeah went down from my typical fit at 54/54 to 51 to get in a better position and its doing wonders to my watts

Elite Stealth bottle cages for the serious mandem

got any pics of the vig behind? looks hot

Configuration has changed but pretty sure it's the same one (that or they have two..) - http://la-bicyclette.over-blog.com/article-cinelli-vigorelli-porteur-copenhaguen-117663004.html

It's now got SRAM brake levers, dunno the bars, profile aero bars

i'm just mucking about with this frame right now trying to decide what i'll eventually build it up into.

Do doubt i'll go a bullhorn, if I stay with a drop after today (which has been fun), then i'll probably want another 1cm longer for the stem.

Took delivery of the Pesenti, some chipped paint spots on the chainstay a small dent on the top tube near the stearertube and maybe a hs that's stuck. FCI stamped though and the welding is really freaking good!

Need clinchers and I'm thinking Tecno 416, short stem, riser and chainset.

finally finished my cargo bike /utility mutant
before

after


also, I installed a sophisticated navigation/pedestrian warning device

given the absurdity of this offering from Cambiagio ,\/, i don't think I've torn the arse out of it too badly

maybe Ernesto used a little too peyote much to think outta the box with this /
