Current Projects chat and miscellany

@smallfurry, you were almost spot on with the first guess of a kite, the downtube is immense!
will definitely work as a weather vane too...

It's pretty damn funny that scotts bike ended up on BSNYC. it's almost like he was asking for it

I think he did mention it in the anti-porn thread!

Aaaah its one of the those fancey aerofoil sails. That was going to be my next guess.

(Nice, BTW)

The Roberts is almost finished, spent most of today building her up... Still need to run down to BC and get a seatpost binder bolt and adjust the saddle before I can take it for a spin... Probably gonna stick my stealth CK headset on it too... Brakless 'til my Keirin brake arrives in a coupla weeks so don't stop in front me suddenly!?! She'll do for now... Next project, the polo bike...

cheers, will build it up for the weekends, fingers crossed for no crosswinds...

Where'd you get your brake from Teens? I'm looking for one too and I think NJSBlogspot and Hubjub work out as pretty similar prices..

Mr. Slain - that ticks most of the hipster bike boxes - Classic steel, no brakes, aerospok, deep v, double toe straps...Very nice sir.

Off a forumenger who's in Tokyo 'til the end of the month... I don't know what retail on those things is but I imagine they're pretty pricey now the pound's so weak...

How much and would he be willing to bring back another? Pretty please :)

Wish I could help, Will... I actually tried to buy it off him last year but he had to go back to Japan before we could do the deal... When the Roberts was in my grubby mitts I emailed him to see if he still had it, and he did?!? One-off deal I'm afraid...

Dang, no worries, time for me to shell out then :P

Well, you know me... ;p

I'd like to see Bikesnob do the Dynamo. Wanker.

if you think that, then you're taking his satire too seriously - don't.

Nice TS, 'bout time you lost the fuckin Aeropsoke now though hey? When we goin for a ride then so I can do skids in front of you ;-)

My father's Bob Jackson Audax frame arrived, finally!

Pics pics pics!
My Gitane should come this saturday, can't freaking wait.

Chas Roberts is now shaking his head, but smiling.

Nice build Joe!

and then earlier with the freaking out over painting a bike....
have a laugh for shits sake.
biking is serious bizzniss.

haha. I think people were 'freaking out' because there was absolutley no fucking point repainting that bike. But you're right.

... Good looking project ...

... for instance (not having a pop you in particular, chris, btw, just your comment was handy) ... WHY OH WHY do we refer to 'bikes' as 'projects'?! Its in the title of this thread ... it fucking annoys the piss out of me. Its a bike. Not a fucking 'project'. It's like those location location location twats constantly referring to 'houses' or 'flats' as 'properties'.

I promise never to say this again. Well. not today anyway.

Just call them 'bikes'. It's only a frame and some wheels and stuff, you're not bloody Damien Hirst.

Oi Skully, don't forget about "build" too!

Got a stealth front that's half built up, I may be selling the Arrospok on anyway...
taps fingers, waits for a thousand PMs

Bob Jackson Audax frame (FOR MY FATHER!), Cobalt Blue with silver lug lining, it's fairly a standard colour scheme, it'll be build in a very classic looking racer like the Colnago, with modern part of course (very pointless and silly to use old part!), it'll be use for commuting, touring, racing, etc. all kind of riding really;

arrospok and risers on that..

I would cry if I wasn't so cold hearted..

but seeing as it's you, I'll say nice bike. drill the fork and ignore the tards

where will you be racing that? the Bob Jackson fetishists annual criterium?

and commuting when you don't have a job?

I think there are too many questions and not enough answers, Mr. Scoble, I am disappointed with your progress...

Cobalt Blue is such a lovely colour.

Weird drop out/basket combo. Never seen that before :)
