great. more forumengers in A+E, because Ed says it's more "comfty" ;)

@braker, removing a brake will not make your bike any comfier

The plug of clefty is now being ridden by one Miss_socks.

awwwwwww, his ' n' hers

I know, they do look rather sweet together

I'm building this for my wife. A few more changes and it'll be ready to go on the road!

thanks Flowmont. I'm based in se london so Oxford is a bit of a trek. I think i'm going to try and do it myself. I did change a plug once so I'm pretty confident.

Damn, I can't see the pics. I was going to pay a visit to Mr Villiers at somepoint this year....

...but then I went and bought two bikes by accidente.

@zed they are also on my flickr www.flickr.com/clefty

Clefty I just realise the handlebar you brought for your Rourke is the last one from freshtrip! argh! been meaning to find that one for the missus'.

how the knog trip computer? knog product are a bit hit or miss, their original lights are great whether their newer one are a bit dodgy (I should know, I returned them more than I should).

purchased this on saturday.
it had a road time trial setup which i removed.
it will get a different stem, bars, wheels etc.

just wanted to share the photograph to make a start.

Oh no! Aren't they getting any more in? They're usually good at ordering stuff.
I like my Knog computer, sometimes it takes a while for the sensor to pickup signal but I like its ease of use, only one button (the screen) to push to cycle through things, it has a nice backlight and a funky large display - I also like the fact that I dont have to have a special bracket on the bike and can just unclip the computer and the sensor off the bike when I lock up. I do think they are a little overpriced, but I really like mine.

^ nice frame.

oops!!

hahah

Thought that wouldn't last. Stout feller.

Ok, at the moment she's almost fully built, apart from some fork woes which should be fixed by Jimbilly this week so I can fit a front brake - I'll post some more pics then, but for the moment here's some grainy phone pics to wet your appetite.

Paul Villiers, Custom Track, 853 Fillet Brazed.

Oh my sainted aunt. Bloomin marvellous! I meant to ask you when you were getting it last week at Souths. I had a feeling it might be imminent. Like the fact you got 'villers' rather than 'villiers velo' decals. Details, details ...

You must be well happy. I am green with envy.

^ nice frame.

yes it is. when i found it, i immediatly called the seller to ask him whether it is still available. he told me that he just sold it, so i offered him twice the money.
i wanted one of these curved seattube frames with a 26" front wheel so much..!

Forks look good

Ha! They do indeed. Thanks!

That's amazing. That paint!

classic tyreless look, big look this summer.

Ed you ride brakless? I never knew that... :P

yeah yeah, profoundly deaf, can't see shit with my left eyes, no balance at all (balance rely on your ears), and here I am, riding like a fixie skidder cruising down the hipster spice route shouting obscure comment to taxi drivers while jumping red lights.

Finally finished my Koga build and got it how I want it

surely you need pedals????

Of course I can. I could call it pengy if I wished. This is no slight on Scott or the practicality of the bike.

I concur. Bloody hideous. Perfect for the Dynamo, though, I reckon.

What's the point of having more than one bike if you're not going to make them to suit different sorts of riding? This is ideal for a certain type of trip, so it has some sort of utilitarian design-based beauty.

Somewhere deep, deep, deep down.

you have 2 left eyes?

fuck brakless

*THAT *is crazy.

:)

1. nothing except the ones that run me in to the kerb (possibly after seeing the sticker?). I'm thinking of changing it to "fuckpedicabs"
   
2. it's an on-one but they don't ever have any in stock - see post 179
   
   

Cheers.

hah! almost forget my aforementioned bad grammar that come with the package.

Well, after I crashed it, I decided never to ride it again so I am just going to look at it instead from now on :)
