+1 to waht STB sayz, fucking great work Josh.

Those 25s are so much bigger than my 'old' version ones on my Mercian, amazing how much difference. I will be using those you've got on something soon, mine are too skinny.

Two questions:

What are the hubs? (I am remembering now... Centaur?)

And: Do you know where I can get Honjo Koken in non-hammered?

Great build man, absolutely fucking LUST club jammer thought.

Nice build, Dr Sludge. Very nice indeed. Whitewalls could a nice touch on that.

Some very nice stuff popping up at the minute... Josh and Brian, bravo! Also can't wait to see the TrandemOfDoom™ built up, Henners...

And: Do you know where I can get Honjo Koken in non-hammered?.

think PX have em...

just ordered these:

which look like they'll work.
so just need a bar clamp and some bars and some saddles.
anyone know where I can get a bar clamp?

Cheers Hen, but no, only hammered.

I might just use Berthouds instead. Apparently the non-hammered honjos are a bit delicate.

sorry man, should;ve checked.
VO are another choice... think Freshtripe have some

good reviews... cheapish too.
I just realised i can use a standard Ahead stem and clamp that pointing up.
Genius.

anyone know where I can get a bar clamp?

A regular ahead stem maybe?
Doesn't look really nice on such a tandem, but I'm almost sure that it'll work./
You can get them in 4cm.

Sorry. That could be considered as a possibly "fued-some." That was only gentle ribbing.

Snoops, thanks for pointing that out. Awesome.

followed by super secret Track build.

All your builds are "super secret" until you get so excited that you tell everyone at Wests.
