  • I'm starting a new project.. weeh, kind of a scrapheap-project ;)
    Some time ago i dumpstered an old off-the-peg frame from a cheap "time-trail" bike look-a-like..
    It's designed like a LoPro, but with space for mudguards. Originally came with 650c front.
    Tubing is Reynolds 500, which as far as I know was a cheap frameset mostly intented for mountainbikes?
    Toptube is bendy, seattube is straight, a bit like this Battaglin:

    My idea to remove all brace-ons since the frame is nothing special, and make it look a bit more tight by using fatter tires.
    Plan is to use a 26" MTB-wheel in the front, and build a 700c with some wide rim for the rear.. Then run 32mm tires on it - have a new 26/1.3 (32mm) Conti Sports Contact already and the Sports Contact comes in a 700x32c as well, seems like the obvious choice..

    Oh, and I plan to make it more stealthy than any other stealthbike in this thread.. :)

    How does that sound?

  • I'm guessing Henry's 'Tartan' paint might just overshadow Dales green though :)

  • i'd like to see that be more stealthy than object's stealth bike.

  • gabes: Okay, it might not be more stealthy than Object, but it will be more real than objects ;)

  • Dale tell us the true, you are waiting for Henry's bike to be build so Marty can send both together, innit.
    will have to wait and see.

  • no way!!

    fucking hell Dogs this bike is going to be your Xmas present, from the last Xmas!!

  • haha!

  • gabes: Okay, it might not be more stealthy than Object, but it will be more real than objects ;)
    You wish. All of my bikes are stealth black but the one gabes is referring too is so real it facilitated in fracturing my clavicle. Nothing is more real than pain.

  • Pain FTW! On a bike...

  • Object: ah, sorry.. mistook "Donut!" for you... What bike is yours again?

  • Teenslain, have you got that picture handy of our stealth babies?

  • haj, Donut! could feasibly find that insulting. No one wants to be mistaken for me.

  • Just got my black chainring for the Storck...looks so much better.
    Also a steel rear cog, having torn 5 teeth off the alloy one :)
    Just waiting on the KCNC scandium seatpost now and it's done!
    Pics soon...honest.

  • ^ i really want to see that bike.

  • dadaa!

  • That GT looks like an uncomfortable child all dressed up in his sunday best.

  • ace frame though

  • Very nice!

    How's it ride?

  • i got bored and decided to put the wheels on,
    i wont be running it with one black one white, but which.. 2 black or 2 white?
    48t ring coming and i just got the lever delivered today.. feels great!!
    just need to buy a black post and fit the brooks and were sorted (chain will help too)

  • ha u've got the rainbow hex keys !!

  • hell yes! they are my pride and joy... i also have a bin bag and loads of crap in my front room
