Current Projects chat and miscellany

it will get sr gruppo, stays and forks need rechroming, so will do that then respray, would be nice to get in done in time,for l'eroica, but i think i may just build and ride as it is , ratty,
just moved my shit into a decent/safe/secure/bunkerkindashit workspace, so a few projects should reach completion shortly

why, thank you

I wish I had a vice or clamp to assist in the sanding!

all you need is a couple grades of sandpaper and self belief my son. You can do it. You can sand that fork.

Hai, thats my bike. Thats an old picture, said bike looks slightly different currently.

Hey there, thanks! Can you please share the recent pics or any variations which you may have captured? After initial reaction, I'm still not certain that's the one I was looking for, did it ever have Carbon campagnolo cranks? Thanks!

EXTREMELY boss

Honestly, the taller T1s are some of the best looking track bikes ever made.

Bucket of water helps, too... Use wet&dry paper (240 grit, maybe 120 for initial strokes, and 400 for final strip). Wet carbon is easier to spot (i.e. so you don't sand through it) than dry, especially when it's been abraded.

Today's project = reduce clutter = keep my girl happy.

I'm up for keeping it simple and quick solutions so I went with the most effective & logical one. I threw out some furniture in order to make more room for bikes in the living room. Done aaand done.

@spotter I was all set on building up 650b Croix de Fer then this popped up. Been after one for such a long time, I thought too good to miss.

@MechaMorgan I was thinking more Rotor Uno... Seriously though this will see some Sram Red

If you wanna sellz me a V1 Brooklyn .. I'd be ok with that. @voxelwise

I just wanna keep your GF happy

Took inspiration from this Elephant and added a tiny rack/support to the rear for holding sleeping bag, mat and tarp for bikepacking. Just need to trim the bolts and clean it up a little.

Same here, feeling it's going to be a slow build but I've waited long enough for the frame. Looking forward to seeing what adventures you get up to on the Genesis this summer!

Raw beater almost finished. Just need the toptube cable clips/guides to arrive and find some corks to use as end plugs. First time I used cotton tape/twine/shellac. Could probably do with a silver post but nevermind.
