Current Projects chat and miscellany

i got my willy out and stood in the middle of the college quad. does that count as a project?

Had a pint or two? :-)

Had a pint or two? :-)

maybe- bben in the jamaican bar all night,
so maybe

Fair enough. Excused.

ok i'm done now. fork blackened. needs tape. Still not sure whether to go with these drops, or get something else.

all the parts in question are nitto, wheels are mavic, cranks/ring/bb are sugino 75, headset is king. seat is a regal, rolling on rubino pros.

The bike is this color in light

welcome to my shop:

classic waterford track end:

ok, that should be it. i can't promise i won't post a day light photo sometime, but it'll be a while before that since we're expecting rain for a few days.

Leave the drops. It's not going to get any better.

bilt. will still get the paint done, but not right away. likely will take the fork to black with a rattle can for the mean time. fork suits the bike perfectly. rides like spinner.

and for those intersted, here's a good way to store bikes. Cost, cheap. Time, 2 hours. Just cut the top pipe to the right length. rest is stock.

What are those pink forks; Japanese?

super nice bike jersey, daylight pics will probably end up in porn section

starts thinking of sourcing black components

no raggin' on the bmx pedals, they were cheap as hell!

Still not sure whether to go with these drops, or get something else.

Can you ride in those drops? That is a huge saddle to bar drop you must have the proportions of an Orangutang :-)

Campag Omega V sections laced to miche primato low flange track 'ubs :]
wanted to get some walber sport aero clinchers off hilarystone but didn't have the cash at the time...thought a pair of NOS rims would suit the fram better

Nice letrekk but someone seems to hae left a breadbin on top of your seatpost

Like a sack of potatoes.

Its a bit funny, but it's comfortable if you're working to go fast. The drops fit just like the human photo that mdcc posted. I also do have very long appendages.

eh eh

Fork is Stratos. Yea. Japanese. Go to the njs blog. There's a section for forks and they list the steerer tube length. Keep an eye on it for
your size. Super good service.

I anodized all the parts
black.
