^^HOLD ON!!! beater/pub bike.... that frame is amaze.

looks awesome Mark! now you've got a fixed set up again you can come on the HHSB ride...?

Needs risers...

... and better cranks.

Frame/paint is rad2mx.

Cheers folks!

Yeah Dry count me in for the slave ride!

TM cranks are a permanent fixture as its really only a bike for when I'm not wearing Lycra!

i built this up to go in the rain

The saddle is too low (and at a bit of a TM angle), the stem too short and the MSW ugly but you get the idea

Just finished this for a friend..

Both very nice bikez.

I would like that Lemond to have gears and nicer pedals, or at least brake levers and nicer pedals.

The frame and wheels are beautiful.

He wanted a singlespeed. He does have the missing parts of the groupset though. So theres always the possibility of a more sensible build ;/ Pedals are just placeholders so I don't have to walk it to his place tomorrow.

Still need to sort out the wheels and that's about it. Got a matching front but I can't be arsed to file the axle to fit, and it's a blast to ride as is.

The daily and sunday bikes together, currently trying an SMP saddle on the Look so it could get worse...

Call that TM angle? bonor plz.

thought this was for your mate?

Would look 10000000x better with straight steel forks.

Finally got around to take photos in the road disguise:

Did box hill loop on this set up, rides really good :)

Bring that back to the track where it belongs!!!

Great photos btw! ;)

I grabbed it to go ride in the rain instead of the DAs but he's more of a roadie anyway.

I was thinking might look good with some flat crown steel forks in a 'dale copy kinda way.

not sure what forks it would have come with originally, these maybe?

Need some help installing a Gilles Berthoud rear mudguard on my tourer. They are a good 3cm away from the little bridge between stays, and said bridge is not drilled. I'd like to keep them exactly in this position, so they're a nice consistent distance from the tyres, but wondering what's the best workaround?

modify one of these?

your third ring is really small

must spread

that is gonna kill your lacquer if you keep it like that..
might want to saw out that particular area to prevent it rubbing against each other ..
somehow remembered me of this:
Southpark - Sizzor me alison - YouTube

might want to saw out that particular area

That's part of the plan, I have the cut line already (if you squint you can see a black line on the pic). My concern is the fixing, really. And something that won't rattle.

just space out a long bolt and do it up tight?

Bridge isn't drilled. Some kind of piece of wire looped around the bridge?

Drill the bridge?

New bar/stem, gonna work on the fit over a few rides. I'll be mister grumpy if it rains tomorrow morning :(
