dent on underside of down tube ? easy to fix if you are planning a respray !

BTW... lets say I really like someone else´s bike (paintjob), one of those that already became classics around Porn thread; would it be wrong to want a similar (really similar) paintjob done? Even though the other one´s on the US of fcking A?

Well this is it... it´s just stronger than me, and if this PJ will be fcked it has to have something at the same level (and only similar, not copy-cat). Anyone minds/cares? No?..great.

Do you mean using those alloy blocks and roll it?

Got some new wheels today well chuffed they have been in the Guys attic for years and never used Campagnolo pista record hubs laced to some very shiny rims,also changed the cranks to Pista record,and Record seat post,also bought some Campagnolo pedals and toe clips to finish it off.

How many times have you changed that bike already?? fh!!

Well done Kingcutter, you've finally cracked it! It looks fantastic.

Well this is it...

I've always coveted that bike... wicked. The bartape especially.

Nice bike shit website - stick it in the current projects thread

Cheers Super your Mercian is stunning are you happy with the way it turned out and have you ridden it far yet.

I'm very happy with it thank you it's really great and comfortable I've not been too far yet I just wanted to check it wouldn't fall apart first of all.

Dent on the TT?

And on the DT?!!?

BRIAN! Sick chainring! How did I not notice it.

your beard's growing into your eyes you crazy hobo.

And on the DT?!!?

Thanks, you´ve just save me loads of time looking for dents and dings ; )

Nuknow: Brilliant! Don't repaint it though....

I know, but it needs to have the DT and TT fixed... shame.

are those cut b123s on the very nice low pro?

No, 3ttt Moscow. Proper bars on a proper bike.

cheers

Hmm, thought I'd share my first build which I've been working on for a few months now. Rather pleased with how it turned out, although the picture probably doesn't do it justice. Oh the sadness of confined london flats.

Panasonic has arrived, after being bum-raped by ParcelForce (£60!! customs... fuckers).
Loads to do here... definitely needs to have a new DT (can´t imagine riding it/selling it like this)...
... still worth it for what I´ve paid. **Oh!... it´s fully chromed under the (amazing) paintjob : ) **

Does that even matter, considering it won't be by the time you have had the tubes replaced?

Seriously, why? For the cost, plus fixing, plus respray, you could have a full custom frame. With no dodgy history, repairs or other possible un seen problems.

You can order a new semi-custom Panasonic for GBP 675 delivered and you'll get hit with duty/customs charges.
