Current Projects chat and miscellany

My lo-pro is now fully stripped of all paint...and i've refilled and shaped all the aero scallops...it's now ready for primer....i'm also swapping out the 650 fork for a 700....with the aim of slightly slackening the angles and raising the bottom bracket.
Looks really nice now....can't wait to get some primer on there...:)

I'm going to hacksaw it in half whilst you sleep!

do that and ill grab your broken lil piggy and drag it all the way to f*ckin market!!!

Agreed!

That's some fucking lampshade! ;p

really nice bike tilover, the color is great and the whole build is clean and stylish without looking over the top. not keen on the stem but thats just me. nice work!

Well done.... Nice colour.
What BB did you use with those cranks btw? Chainline looks good.

Tom I had a look at the Flickr pics. What bars are they? They are so sweet....

tilover - Cavendish Cycles sell a black Nitto B123AA.

Girlfriend build, needs new saddle and bars, different front wheel and the chain tightening, so not much of a 'project', but some stuff to do.

Sorry to burst your bubble, guy, but this ^ is a BIKE not a GIRLFRIEND.

Yeah what are those bars, Tilover!?

Those bars look like Soma major taylor - Check the ebay thread recently: 25 BIN the guy has 5 sets.

EDIT - perhaps not the same model, but they are SOMA

they are indeed soma major taylors 38cm, and i use a real design bb, got a good chainline concidering they are road cranks and with the chainring on the outside

@ Tilover

How's that lever working out? Need to replace the dirty harry lever now I've got drops, almost bought on of those in silver last night.

i can't wait to find a girl i like enough to build a bike for. any excuse!

Sorry to burst your bubble, guy, but this ^ is a BIKE not a GIRLFRIEND.

But.. But, she told me she was a real girl, she just photographs really badly :-)

[Insert your own joke about riding well]

any excuse!

Exactly!

Really nice build tilover, what caliper have you got on the front?

My new project.

Fort Track frame (rubbish photos I know)

Going to refinish the frame with original head and down tube decals and yellow green paint job.

All components black, mavic open pro rims, goldtec hubs, nitto pusuit bars, phil wood BB and sugio crankset.

If only my cash flow would allow me to finish it sooner.... i'll have to wait till mid feb!

not decided on the forks yet, any ideas?

@tilover
i love your build too

straight blade fork should suit the bike.
