Current Projects chat and miscellany

So I finished this lovely decathlon penta pro from the ag2r prévoyance team, 2004.
The frame is in dedacciai EOM 16.5, very light for a steel frame, and very stiff.

Built with a complete record titanium groupset and shamal wheelset.

And here is an update of my Merlin Extralight, with a new wheelset (fulcrum racing 3) and a masterpiece seatpost

Cheers

^ two great bikes!

The best D4 i'v ever seen !
Time MTB pedals ?

Little update, Thick Gummies, Cages and an inline seatpost.

edit: at least i think it was him who was looking for a set of these..

What is the ratio on the bike with this set up please?

49x19, nice and spinny

They're look quartz spd. Cheap but light:)

Silver or black (probably de-stickered) wheels?

Rest of the group will be silver Veloce, apart from the unfortunately black shifters.

Don't really need to ask do I.

it's a silver from me, boss

Blue ano.

No not really. Silver.

Spent most of the day spraying my pass hunter rack black and swearing a lot while I tried to set up the brakes and mudguard around it while keeping it as level as possible. Doesn't look like I'll be able to level it without sticking it in a vice and doing some serious bending but it's usable for now.

Unfortunately the paint's immediately chipping off, I was hoping to get away with just scuffing up the metal. What's the best primer to use on stainless steel? I'll probably strip it down and do a proper job of it next week.

Done for now with some nice and some bullshit parts, will wait for some bargain deals.

1x10 / 52t / 11-28

Rotate bars down, move hoods up.

Rack on for summer

Thank you to whoever recommended me amber bikes, they made me this narrow wide 42t 104 bcd chainring in a week for only about 30 euro.

As well as some old silver rival shifters and salsa cowbells as I fancy trying drops again.

So much yes.

Given another couple of days, they might have done it properly. Looking at the load path from the spider tabs to the teeth adjacent to them is giving me flashbacks to Z-Torque cranks

^ move hoods up. Bottle cages
boom !
