Current Projects chat and miscellany

Nice to see frames in almost the same material, from same builder and similar era, end up quite differently.

I like yours, although would prefer matching tyres (I suspect the mismatch is temporary)

I'm concerned about my seat collar going in the future as I seem to have to get it quite tight before it secures the seatpost.

What are your forks?

Yeah it's great to see another Donohue on the roads. The tyres are part aesthetics and part functionality. At the moment this is my daily bike but I'm in the process of building a daily beater so I use RibMo's because I like how they skid and their durability. I'll be putting another Pasela on the rear when this become my Sunday bike

If your seat collar goes, get in touch with Tom Donhue. He's based in Hackney Wick now and sorted mine out the same day (as a favour) and charged only £45. He will have to remove the paint around the area though

To be honest, I really didn't want to respray it because I like it looking gnarly and with nineties flare but it had to be done
