if the rims are GP4's how are you liking them?

Just waiting on a red Aerospoke from asm, white Randonneurs and a pink chain and it's done!

Thanks to kingcutter for the seatpost and ULTEGRA chainring

Very nice. Now to finish it off with some proper pedals and disco slippers.

What and look a tit

:)

Pisti I'm really sorry mate, but be careful with that frame. The rear end looks...fuzzy.

Finished the high-pro... complete with generic energy drink seatpost shim.

Big thanks to Ved for the frame.

What size seatpost do you really need? I have a cheapy 27.2 black one you can haz for beerz...

West Beers Shim FTW - Nice

@Aroogah

I haz 27.2, and it takes 27.2.... It's just a loose fit, that's all. Tighter than a n-n-n-nun, now though.

So got the winebox mounted - its a smaller 6 bottle box as i didnt want something too big. Used a 5 quid headset mounted basket rack as the base, then got some bits and bobs from homebase to mount it. Works a treat, going to use some danish oil to coat it. I put some Rolson non slip matting in the bottom to stop things rattling.

The bike is an old Pashley Tube Rider i rescued off a mate, which had been stripped of its parts - put a 7 speed sram coaster hub on the back, fuck off sofa of a saddle, and some Nitto Promenade bars. Front wheel is hte original Sturmey drum brake hub.

Its meant to be my pub/lock up and leave bike - its like riding a sofa, and i love it!

Fuckin photobucket's down, can't put up pics :-(

Pain in the arse PB was looking forward to seeing it.now I can see it looks very nice indeed

Vinyl, that bike look stupidly relaxing to ride, I have a nagging feeling it might end up being your main bike...
