My hubs are better

Ah. Normal service resumed....

Thanks a lot as many forum members Know I buy and sell a lot of bikes but in the end it's to fund ending up with something like this I am really happy with the way it has turned out,and to be fair although I have taken a ribbing sometimes for my builds its being a big learning curve,for which I am gratefull now where is that pink chain lol.

Remember, beauty and the beast is in the eyes of the bee holder (or something).

KC that Carlton is lovely. A chrome track frame has always been on my 'list'

couldn't bare to keep seeing my new frame unclothed, so swapped components from my raleigh beater so i could ride it. blown away by how smooth it is.

That is one nice frame.

@KC jeebus you got a lot of carlton going on. That one's nice!

My current project:
Eventually found a track frame, a beautiful one ...
Will demount the right brake lever and run with front brake as soon as I find a drilled front fork.

thanks a lot. I'm considering upgrading the forks atm, but it has to be sent to mercian so a bit of a turn off

Although KC's does look fucking great...mind you, 177 crank arms are slightly dangerous on a fixed gear in my opinion...all sorts of cornering problems.
Also, dibs.

Just about finished My Carlton Flyer I was going to have the Carlton decals redone but I think I will leave it plain.

That is excellent! I'd love to see it with some gumwalls.

Is it the law that a lo pro must have a dodgy saddle angle? Every fucking one seems set up like that. It must feel like you're going downhill all the time.

i dont even wanna know how you did!
cheers anyway!

On the whole, yes.
If you are really really low your balls don't get on with a saddle thats horizontal. Or mine don't.

Nose down saddle is usually a sign of a nodder with a badly fitted bike
