Current Projects chat and miscellany

Slight changes to my two main bikes at the moment.
NJSBeater has returned to brakeless and gained a flatbar setup.

And the BMX has had it's wheels rebuilt and a new set of pedals.

Gaston aprouvz the Flatbarstyle

Is it a really bad idea to try and turn my lopro into my weekend roadbike? Quick mock up and generally throwing random parts onto the frame got me thinking... double rings fit up front so could use a band on hanger and swap all my sram apex kit onto it.

Sounds like a bad idea. I'd just get a nice steel road frame.

One more at home to replace the seta

:(

Why are you sad?

put a cheapo pair of 700x25's on

must say the ride is a whole lot better than i expected, recommend the alan super record

That looks like it'll handle like crap, long and low is cool but that's crazy!

Yeah, it's also cramped - I use to run it with profile airwings but it did move the balance very far forward. conundrum what to do with it!

You can still flip the stem. Will probably look a bit weird but...

Weird and too short. I'm trying to find ways to convince myself I didn't just buy the frame cause it looked cool. Unfortunately I don't have the space or budget to purchase all the correct TT bits.

Needs an ergostem

So bloody good, one of my favourite forum bikes

^ Like that.

Mr Eddy "Balk" Merckx is finished (for now, perhaps get it/him some nicer wheels). Once again, the old mantra of "garbage in = garbage out" is proven for taking photos.

Gazelle retired for now, but probably hold on to it (or the 14bike co i got which is a bit too big too look "good" though...) for winter duties. Chrome + salt + damp...hmmm. Don't see that work too well...even with lots of Vaseline/car wax.

Internetbeikfit etc. But this looks set up for cross (or wheelies) ?

Steep seat tube angle = saddle need to be set further back.

@JWestland buying milk earlier...

Well yeah internet baik fit. Turns out its comfy.

Should work on stunt skills and its all good :p

Notice most Miche removed...no pleasing you :p

temporary build with shitty crank and newly fitted tubs

That´s quite a funny name for a bike.

Looking pretty good. Although seat forward or inline post and longer stem and hoods and levers could work too. Who care's though - as long as it rides well for you! Being very pedantic and overly detailed I reckon some Maxxis Refuse with orange logo to pick up the frame colour would look pretty ace.

conundrum what to do with it!
