Current Projects chat and miscellany

Brexit means breakfast

Getting flashbacks to when my Gran used to argue with the telly. They can't hear you Gran! They can't ... oh never mind.

Chainring bolts?

Are you the telly or the gran in this analogy?

Gran & omniscient narrator hybrid. Not telly. Telly is the force of ignorance & darkness.

I had your back but I got into trouble with @Rodolfo about wrists and shit so you're on your own now you anarchist.

It's tough to break out. I lay no blame.

I'll give you twenty quid and a packet of quavers

Current setup on the Argo'

just so good. one of my forum faves

Started fettling with a london road frame I've had for a while. Plan is front bigxtop rando bag supported by ortlieb hooks on a 8mm rail between two direct mount stems (the thing with the specialized logo in pic). Small front rack as well of course. I also got a cheap hope v-twin setup from spotter and the front end of this thing is going to require a bit of work...

Looks rad! Tyre id please?

anyone can suggest a low profile nmsw clincher that won't break the bank? (apart from the obvious open pro cd) 36h/700c

Cheers! Tyres are gravel kings, 32c I think. Great tyres.

open pros have machined sidewalls. Hson tb14?

You Brooks?

no, your'e a brooks

open pros have machined sidewalls

While this is technically true, he probably doesn't care. The CD is anodised after machining, so the brake track is the same colour as the rest of the rim, for the first few weeks :)

and the other few too as brakeless use is very gentle on the braking surfaces :)

It's belonged to @robadob and was @Skülly chopped BITD. Added street cred/LuFguSs history and suits the build. Quite comfortable on it too.

Page 4444 and that was my 44th saddlechop.*

Nice to see it's been kept nice and tense so not saggy & collapsed. Glad it's comfy too.

I'm just about to chop a team professional of mine for a new bike. Looking forward to that for some reason.

*This may not be true

PS get in touch if you fancy have something stamped onto it.

Cross posting this from the MASH thread as I've just finished my Bolt 2.0

So glad I built this up, confirms the fact that I shouldn't have sold my grey Mash. I'm still grinning like an oaf after riding it around the block

I have a Lynskey titanium seat post and carbon SLR on the way and I may get some SG75 DD's in the future.

First time riding carbon handlebars, I don't trust them...
