Current Projects chat and miscellany

Oh, and here's the pic/link. Just price match at evans or something. Can't get better cheaper without getting a chain at trade.

That black and silver chain was my last chain, had it for over a year then after couriering for 6 weeks it broke on me. Riding along, heard a pop and looked down and one of the links had ripped itself apart. The plates were literally bent.

Replaced it with a £15 Izumi (silver & red box) from Condor and that's been fine. I like it.

This gold will rub off eventually. My IZUMI used to be gold and now looks like someone pissed on it.
I saved few spare links and there's a big difference in colour.

oh, kris...

i am really sowwy. i was really drunk and aimed through the frame actually.

sorry, mate.

Just watch your Faggit :-P

*shakes fist

Not quite finished with the Charge's face-lift yet, but getting there.

Got new tyres on the way, also going to change the chain soon. I've been considering putting some carbon forks on it, and may do in the future... I've also been toying with the idea of removing the decals, but it seems to be a lot of hassle, and i'd only be doing it to make it looks less like a Charge... Maybe though.

So, Frame and Fork are obviously charge, other than that, only the headset remains Charge
Sorry for the shit pic:

Singlespeed beater pub/shopper bike from my old Holdsworth, about its third incarnation now I think. Planning to get a rack/basket type affair for the front sometime. It's mostly been built from bits I already had/forum or CRC bargains, so pengy but very cheap.

check out Velo Orange rack, they're a bit pricey but really smart and go well with your Holdsworth;

Konijn that is such a nice bike.

perfect polo bike that.
ahh balls I meant mattys.

Onza kool chain is the same and cheaper

Shit bars, slack chain, shit chainline, fucked saddle. Not sure whether to get bar-end brake lever or tops brake lever. Oh also the Miche top nut for the headset was fucked so it's got some dodgy chrome one with a massive stack height on there right now.

Chainline isn't too bad, dude.

I'd get a bar end lever designed for those sort of bars. What was wrong with the bars on the bike before? I seem to remember they were different.

Cinelli LA84, much too wide for me, looked perfect though.

These are just some old track drops I've cut and turned upside down. Incredibly wank. I'd sand them silver but I don't want to keep them. I'm on the look out for what bars I want. Actually earning some money now so thinking about nice things.

Why don't you just put bar tape on them?

Syntace Stratos 200 are my favourite bullhorns. Profile Airwing are also nice and are cheaper than the Syntace. Condor sell the latter.
