Names and faces to bikes

dogmatic [quote]jonny shit, that internal wedge binder system is cool. moser just loved messing with things.

apparently they were used on schwinns (and other brands) too... thing is though, there supposedly hard to find so if they break, there's not much you can do with the frame... you can't hear it, but i'm knocking on wood here ;)

while i like how clean it looks without the seatpost clamp, it's a pity that the seat stays meet the seat tube a little above the top tube. that gives it a weird unbalanced look to me. i personally prefer it when the seat stays are connected to the seat tube at the center of the top tube or lower. but... that's just a minor thing ;)[/quote]

lower seatstays dampen road vibration, you should put them a bit under the top tube really.

some one has been paying attention frame building class

hes touring America on a quest to gain the knowledge of the master frame builders....he's in a bedsit in walthamstow.

Well... another interesting fact learned... sounds logical too if you think about it.

Framebuilding is part of my mid-to-long-term plan... I've been assembling some info off the net about building your own carbon bike; it may sound weird but it seems it's simpler to make a diy carbon bike than a steel one (unless you are already good at brazing and have the equipment, of course).

Currently riding a ghetto-convert with on-one doublefixed and a breake that i never use.. don't have a photo.

Building a new fixie using this frame + some nice japanese parts.

New on the forum, i like it a lot, very entertaining when i'm at work doing nothing :)

hi haj, That wintery / snowflake Vivalo paintjob is amazing. I am amazed. WOW.

provenrad: thanks... it is quite unique and i think it's beautiful :)
The other parts i'm using include:Suzue ProMax 32h hubs, Araya CT19n rims, Nitto Dynamic seatpost, Nitto Pearl 100mm stem, Nitto RB-019 bullhorn or RB-018 bullhorn, havn't quite decided yet.
At first i'm going to use a cheapo Sugino 130bcd 165mm crankset with 3/32" 48t ring, but i'll properly have to upgrade to a 75 and 1/8" later, then the cheapo crank can go on my ghettobike :)
The frame is a bit small for me, i like it like that, it is however annoying that the "real" track-seatposts only come in 250mm, i'd like a Jaguar in 280mm.
scott: actually the cops put that thing on me... :)

Seat tube issue fixed, got out on it it for first time this morning. Love it.

Thanks to Arup, Universal Cycles, Bens, Will at Hubjub and everyone on the board who's offered the advice and tips to others that make this place such a mine of knowledge.

Nice choice of rubber. Glad the seatpost fits ok.

looks really nice.

furious tiles Nice choice of rubber. Glad the seatpost fits ok.

Where are my manners!

Extra massive thanks to Tim!

hmmmm nice bike, expensive tyres..

be interesting to see how you get on with those

Had Ultrimos on my old Pinnerello for a while; bags of grip, very light but didn't last too long.

Much cheaper from Germany only £30 a pair; been using the Marathon Supremes on my other bike with the same HDV puncture protection and they've been stellar.

C'mon Hans we gotta know !! How was Guantanamo ?

Seriously what did they do you for ?

Nice frame by the way.

Every time someone converts a beautiful classic road frame a fucking puppy dies and three angels beat the shit out of a child.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ungdomshuset - I was arrested in the house at the eviction.

And thanks :)

Recognizing that the event, which had received heavy public attention, had been carried out with peaceful means, Ritt Bjerregaard - the Lord Mayor of Copenhagen - on October 11 invited spokesmen from Ungdomshuset to have negotiations concerning a peaceful solution to the conflict.

Wow - Denmark's a tad more progressive than the UK, then - over here, the spokesmen from Ungdomshuset would probably have been invited to spend some time in the Scrubs under the Terrorism Act.
