nuknow looks like you'll be needing some 27"s...

Aware of that ... : /

So many nice bikes on the last few pages...

drool

Rob's pinarello is lush
The Tom Crowther that Crispin's got is also lush
The Roberts that recycled posted made me cry a bit, and it's not even built.

So many others, the carlton, the towny/tourer conversion I loved too...

I am a great fan of the Skully Summary (tm), I must say.

Hey, this is a running bike but a project that's ongoing and has been for a while but nearly there, have a king grip nut in sotto voce black, some fluted campy pista cranks and some crank bros flats with yellow gurneys to go on still.
Will be getting a powder coat with either black & multicolour holographic metalflake or yellow with black metal-flake, can't decide... maybe something else, I've always been partial to kawasaki green and deep orange colours too but only if everything else is black, There's a tiny ding in the top-tube I'm going to try and get rolled out or I'll fill it with silver solder and flush it.
At some point I'll get the stem polished and anodised black if I can't find a swap and do the same with the campy pista cranks. Don't think I can do anything to make the post black as it's an alien ti so maybe I'ss ell it and get a black thomson....
It's a Peugeot track frame with cannondale track forks as the originals took a ding, Bontrager Race-X-Lite track wheelset with the rims taken off and powdercoated glass black.

Cool as fuck, Doug :-)

Nuknow you've got enough to keep you going for a while :o).You have great taste sir.I love the style of the seat stay bolts(on the Panasonic)Looking forward to seeing the complete build/s.

... you need this:

Do they do these in a drop stem ? I too have a small head tube.

Cool as fuck, Doug :-)

Cheers Julia, how's 'ting in London village? Any trips back up to Glasgow planned?
Salutations from the weeg.

Thanks DR, I´ll def have to sell one (3 current projects). Will keep it up to date here.

Continuing in the Hipster vain. Just bought a rear track one of these (for rising round east London)

Hipster

Spotted in Gent!

Just doing a quick service on the Goff before I hit London's mean streets this week and I thought I'd take a picture.
It's in mega-pengy-highvis-trouserclip winter mode at the moment, but I still love it. Need to get a new stem though, the piece of crap that's on it at the moment was an emergency measure which has stuck. Boo. Anyone flogging a little Thomson?

ignoring the horror happening above the headset, that Goff is sweet!

That Goff looks disturbed

The Goff looks cool - love the triple triangle.

Needs drops though!

Anyone flogging a little Thomson?

Not tonight.I'm too tired.

why do so many people buy frames that are so far removed from the hybrid commuters that they fear and hate then spend all their time and energy making them as much like hybrid commuters as possible?

The world is truly strange

Drops and black crank arms and that goff would be pretty sweet, altho I must concur, ive never understood why someone would buy a Lo Pro, and then do that to it...

I do it because it's better for winter, though I agree the stem takes it too far. It gets used, not looked at.
Bulls in the summer is fine.

What's the deal with the triple triangle then? Is it a Goff Thing? (Ooh, GT, pun intended!) I've been trying to figure out what my speedway bike was before it was erm, modified, with the moved seattube and added BB bracing.

What forks are they on the Goff?

Triple triangle: I just asked, and Steve made it!
Forks: made from one of the last sections of Columbus air that was in the country.

Nice!

That's a pretty unusual design huh? Would it be leaping massively conclusions to think he (or a colleague or whatever) might have made mine too?

Any other frame builders using the triple triangle design (apart from GT)?

Fuckloads of em according to google images. You should try it some time.
Your frame is way cool tho

Meanie.

You must have a different google from me, when I google images "triple triangle" I get GTs and not much else. Hey ho.

Your frame is way cool tho
Thanks!

Broakland, 3Rensho to name a couple.
