Got this gay frame. Should I powdercoat it red or black? Thanks!

make sure to 'clean it up' first then paint it red cos itz faster

Also, it looks like some nob has scratched his name into your stem. You better bin it.

can anyone tell me anything about alfrex-alloy 6000 tubing? i've tried google and utfs but nothing, is it alu? steel? good? bad? could determine next build

Sounds like ally to me.

6000 series alloys are the cheap end of the spectrum, not as strong as the 7000 series used for better quality bikes, so typically 6000 frames are heavier.

also what are thoughts on this frame?

worth the money? bit boring? or lovely? i like the paint, and i think i like the geo (cant tell so well without wheels), but i'm not so happy with my last frame and i had the same thoughts.

edit* thanks mdcc, and olly, hadn't refreshed the page, i am a sucker for koga miyata stuff

I love it, nearly had a bid on it myself, but it's marginally too big.

That Koga is hot, buy it.

Ah cheers for the heads up, I hadn't seen that and its just my size!

(only joking, good luck with the bidding!)

Trick wheels are finished. Pleased with them for my first ever build.
Chainreaction came through with some tyre bargains! I got a pair of michelin citys, tubes and rim tape for less than £30 delivered in the sale.
I've gone for 47c not just because of the super-cushion; but the larger outer diameter means I can run a lower gear ratio and not spin like a madman (28/13 is the plan).

I know Borneo personally, he's a sound chap.

We're not questioning his value as a human being; some of us disagree with his decisions on paint.

Perspective people. Perspective.

nice strong looking hoops, jammy

I'm old greeeeeg..

my new current project

^^cannondale?

the drop outs are a dead give away

paintwork looks slightly flakey in pic 3

the drop outs are a dead give away

innit

RPM

i did a watt bike test at a friends office, I think of the people who had a go i was in the top 3 or 4

also snapping the footbeds was probably indicative that i put a little bit of force through the drivetrain

am not quite sure what sounding shit consists of

perhaps i can use aroogah or jeenstains mouths as a chamber, put a microphone inside and then shit in there

we can then compare that noise to my bike

Shit DJ. You are responding to some smack talk from 4 days ago and 5 pages back. Damn it man! Do try and keep up.

and the classic Cannondale blue colour.
