Current Projects chat and miscellany

Bottom bracket would probably drop too low with a 24" wheel.

Lowering the front by 2" will drop the BB by well under 1", and change the angles from the current improbable 71° to a much more likely 73°

How's this project going?

Aren't ergo stems meant for optimum comfort?

Well lo-pros definitely aren't.

Well lo-pros definitely aren't.

BS. My Lo-Pro was carefully designed to be exactly as comfortable as my road bike, and it turned out even better than that because the LA84 bullhorns are actually more comfortable than any drop bar I've used.

I didn't say they couldn't be comfortable, but that's not their raison d'etre.

raison d'être.

Nitto RB09=Cinelli LA84

That's a very nice bike.

But it wasn't built with maximum comfort in mind.

Yes tommm but a good distribution of the weights it is more comfortable on the same distance than a sofa saddle...

Easier to find if you don't drop the leading zero from RB-009 :)

New Christmas project.

Alan "Baby" Corsa Super Alu LS in aluminium with 24" wheels. Never seen one before so will keep on the wall of unused bikes in France.

Half-step gearing is very Paris-Roubaix :)

The hubs are Ultegra 6600 so I might go nuts an source the rest of the groupset when I do the bike up. And a junior rear cassette.

I don't have kids but hoepfully some day it will come into use.

Something I'm working on to leave at my parents house:

Hallelujah! Needs old flite and the low riders can >>>>>>

Saddle is temp till my knock off toupe comes from china and low riders were free so I thought why not!

Ok fair point and you wont see them when bags are on.

I am working on updating my 'at my parents house vac bike':

Will give it new rear mech, cables and narrow wide chainring next time I am home, plus I might give it a rack at some point...
Also I will give it my Challenge Gravel Grinder Race 38c's. It needs bigger tyres to make up for it's slackness.

And you complain about my chainguard??

Yours is ugly tho ;-)

Picture isn't working (for me).
