Current Projects chat and miscellany

Bike is for son, and the wife wanted a back brake.

If she notices it doesn't really work we'll put on a dual lever.

Ooh. You are playing with fire. Good luck with that.

nice and clean dmc

found a nicely tig welded mountain bike frame on the street this morning cranks and pedals attached my first mountain bike coming up possibly !

no name or brand no marking or stickers paint fades silver to orange

you say tooooo much em.
Meerly making an assertion that I'm considering a new project.

ahhhhhhhhh!!

@Koens...welcome to the family!
Thought it was fully built though now?

Em....my turn isn't over yet!

Fuck off. The storck is finished.
You've jumped queue with your lopro.

I demand a new build and it's your fault anyway you sod.

Storck doesn't count as it's going....you renovated your polo bike...that's your turn gone..:)
And don't even be thinking of going where my lo-pro is going!
Don't make me go into your room and leave a 'dirty protest' on your bed!

You nasty and the storck does so count.

Mavic Open Pro in sliver should look right as rain (once you removed the sticker and got rid of the sticky resin with white spirit).

Yeah, the new style Open Pro stickers are bloody awful. Got a pair of Open Pro CDs on their way to me at the moment for a wheelbuild, will be seriously considering de-stickering them.

If they are the ceramic ones.. good luck running a brake on them! :S
I had a touchy feely sesh with a set the other day and there's no grip on 'em at all for braking surface. Good for brakeless or rear but for someone like me who uses a brake - fail. Also, they're something like £75 aren't they?!?! ripoff

Confucius say hippy is confused.

CD are the anodised version, £37.99 with Ribble but spend over £50 (i.e. buy two) and they're only £32.29 each. The ceramic versions chip in at £69 each (£58.65 etc, etc).

Did you deliberately put the frame in front of a shitload of shoes?

This

Minus the Paint =

Plus This

Equals...

To Be Continued...

Is this Ok?

Excellent...thank you ;)

if you are spraying i'd recommend a gun with drilled out nossles otherwise it will clog up ;)

That's why I said "If they are the ceramic"..

Anyway, those ceramic jobbies are shit for rim brakes. The braking surface might last forever but you will have crashed into something before then and totalled them anyway!

So, are the black ones considered the "CD" or not?
