Current Projects chat and miscellany

managed to squeeze the 700c's on there!!

Ha, hardly a squeeze.

Nice looking first bike, and I would avoid BMX pedals and go clipless personally.

Also no more white.

I ride clipless on my TT and road bikes, but having only ever ridden a fixie for 5 minutes the other month i don't fancy it straight away, unless I'm on a traing ride somewhere quiet....
Don't worry, no more white!!!
What about decals??
powder coating only cost me £35....I thought it was a bargin!!

That is a bargain, depends how good the job is though of course. Time will tell...

In my opinion you will enjoy riding fixed alot more if you stick with the clipless pedals & shoes you use on your other bikes. Up to you though of course.

Echo the comment above, nice first build, no more white. Brand / Bland?!

brand/bland?? explain mate....you mean keep it clean?

your mixing up the word bland with brand... i said it looks a bit bland, i.e simple looking

Dylan how's your bike coming along mate?

Yea, I'll agree with bland...can't really think of putting anything on it?? gonna stick a bottle cage on it for longer rides...maybe that'll break it up a bit??

Bland is good.

nothing wrong with it man, it a mere observation, an opinion, which is meaningless. Your happy with it, so that is A'Ok

Nah mate, I'm after some observations!! cheers!!

I'm talking about a bike frame, take a long hard guess....think.....

Bit like DT or ST

i dunoo really, but i still think the frame looks too big for a person 6'6", like i said earlier im 6'3" and i need no where near those kind of tube lengths. it seems overly big

It is massive, looks too over-sized......But hey....
