Current Projects chat and miscellany

for fucks sake, i hadn't noticed anything.

that was such a cool thing u lot did, even i knew that and i only know 3% of people on here ;)

ha ha !

that was such a cool thing u lot did

you are not wrong, the coolest. (even though i hate the word "cool")

i just read that whole thread! how did i not see it, was it in the main 'posts' stream? fucking brilliant, do you know how you're building it up? or is it the whole bike? mega.

it's gonna be "un-dale'd" that's for sure.
i'm gonna blast the thing :)

yeah but man, it was a cool thing - it ain't in my vocab much but, cool it was

dammit I wish I could inherit those Chorus shifters never mind a whole bike. Lovely stuff Tricity.

it certainly was. and a bigfnckoff thanks again to everyone involved.

I have modernised this a bit with some 7600 DA cranks, nitto jag post and the ostrich kashimax which is surprisingly comfy

i can't get over how smooth she's running at the moment, the tubs been holding up well and the araya's been staying true despite the london rds and my 16stone of bulk...

and yeah, soon as the chain tugs arrive no slack chain!?!

brave man with the tubs! :) looking real nice.

as I said you should defo rock this down to herne hill and give it a blast.

people have been happily riding tubs for 30+ years
and you do not need tugs

other than that.......very nice

i'll stick with me clinchers :P

me too

thnks fella's, tell u guys the truth, if you can advise a rim that is exactly like the araya gold, chrome plating narrow width etc, but clincher i'd run em.....

i'm pretty sure someone on here can advise you on something damn similar

Nice bike dayno.Wheels rims & tubs look beautiful.What tubs are they?

dayno, the bob is looking brilliant.

you should probably look at older rims, as they have less depth to them

or

wrong finish, i know but i really love these

^those are niceeee

Finally got around to finishing the missus / ed's missus clone bike.... the only defense i have is that apart from handlebars, brakes & levers it has been built for at least 8 months.

hey,

Just purchased this bike on egay. Want to make it singlespeed but don't know where the hell to start + i'm an epic Luddite when it comes to making stuff. Anyone got recommendations of bike shops (my lbs are pirates) that take on refurb/conversion jobbies? And also what sort of cost would I be looking at? I'm happy keeping it rough and ready so no need for a paint job.
Where are you based. You could always bring it in to the Oxford cycle workshop if you're near! Boxes and boxes and crates of second hand gear as well as all the correct fixed/singlespeed new bits to choose from.........And way cheaper then anywhere in the universe.

what's the thread title for murtle's geek pressy?
