Current Projects chat and miscellany

My Roberts is nearing completion, so here are some pics. I'm still not decided on the stem and bar combo, but i will probably go for cinelli stem (not sure what length) and some crits. It currently has some crits and a 11cm cinelli stem,

Sorry if the pictures are huge, ps the bars will have black fizik tape.

like ithis a lot, nice work

Thanks i really appreciate that, i would say the same and more about your cinelli!

ps what do you think about the criteium bars, are they strictly road bars or are the both road/track?

Re-cycled, well bloody done. It's absolutely amazing. The dropouts/hubs photos are ace.

Thanks, i'l take credit for the build but my sister took the photos :)

I am not an expert on this topic bit I think criterion bars are for US style road races - when I first built up the Cinelli I didn't have the classic Cinelli pista 2A stem and 67 bars - so I used what I had - as it happens its a perfect riding position for riding in traffic - I am putting together a set of parts to take the Cinelli down to La Cipale

I also find the criteriums to be the perfect fit, with deep track drops i think the saddle to bar drop is just too big for me on the roberts

^ wow that looks like a really shit herne hill

@ re cycled nice roberts dude

Its a 400m outside track built for the 1900 Olympics and used until 1985 for the finish of the tdf - I believe (and could be wrong) that a modern track is shorter - so this place is deserted

@ Buddha, reminds me of my hometown 'drom. I know no one cares, and this isn't the best thread, but looking back makes me see how beautiful it is. It's absolutely mental.

@Re-cycled - Looks bangin'. Deff one of my favourite bikes on here along with the-smilimg-buddha's cinelli.

I finally received the fork, so here is my just finished bike.

V. Nice - Are those Sheriff Stars/Omega v's?

Yes, although the rim label is not the blue "Omega V" but a yellow "Omega 6082 Alloy T6", I think they are the same.
