Current Projects chat and miscellany

Turns out all the aero scallops are shaped with filler that is almost like regular household polyfiller? not like car body filler or metal putty.
So it's chipping and flaking easily from the stripping process....so i'm gonna cover all the scallops with liquid metal and maybe reshape and add a couple more scallops here and there with metal putty and liquid metal....then sand back down to a nice smooth finish prior to priming.
Gonna take a long time to get it totally smoothed out and shaped just right but it'll be worth it.

Building up this Mercian Vincitore track frame I was given.

anything to do with your sore throat? nudge nudge.

haha

that laugh musta hurt lol

[quote=sorethroat;377289]Only met the guy that gave it to me once.

mmmmmm 'Free' Frame you say best get a comfy saddle!

The single speed beater is almost there. All the bits are in place. Taken the main decals off to reveal the interesting two tone paint effect on the frame.

Contemplating colours and will also see if I can take the forks to full chrome. So it's either going to be all black and chrome. Or ......(place appropriate colour here) and black and chrome bits.

Rides well and still very nippy :)

that's one huge mudguard. And why does it have cushions on it?

Pillion passengers.

It annoys murtle.

grrr!!

Murtle did a good job with the Twatster stickers.. I wonder if he can do Cuntdor?

on the case :) just need measurements of some other condor rider

carry on not doing it then, in that case

grrrrrrrrrrr!!

hehe I was actually thinking of finishing it tonight and just using bits off the other bikes.
I have a spare wheelset in the cupboard. I think I just need headset spacers, bb, that carbon grease shit that tynan rates.. really depends on how much I pilfer from the other bikes.

When the F&F was a decent 'Lo' price off of ebay, and the double straps were cheap from the US of A. Before the Dollar woke up :)

But, If you prefer, you can refer to it as a 'Pub Bike'. This is the one that I will lock up in Amsterdam of an evening.

questionable crank.. defo beater ;)

For sure. Crappy Truvativ one off of the OTP Bianchi Pista. Let's see how long it lasts.
