i have the aluminium ergonovas, if i like them (which thus far I do) they will eventually migrate to the fixed and I shall get some carbon ones

I have the Alu 'pros' as well. Not sure i'm that fussed about dropping £200 on a set of them in carbon though.

James, you only just begun your relationship and now you want her to lose weight immediately?

why, that's the James I know.

Right here's my second classic project:

Post-war holdsworth nb 250, I cannot identify the type though, it's very similar to a La Quelda but it has no braze ons, very light fillet brazed frame. I'm not too sure if the paint is original so don't know if it' worth repaint it.

You can ignore the back wheel, the brown tape and the velcro cable ties.
Still not decided on brake levers, I know those are comfy.
This bike will have mudguards, 27inch fixed, front and back brakes, a brooks B17 so pretty much like the original bike would have looked like. It'll be my sunday/touring bike, the other bike I have is a "create" morphed into some sort of polo/freestyle brakeless brighton hill climber so both wil complement each other quite nicely I think.

My first completely-from-scratch build was declared complete on Sunday with acquisition of a magic front wheel from 6pt.

Start:

Finish:

well nice..that frame looks crazy..

I don't have this in my hands yet, it's still in Holland... But this is what I will mostly be building this summer... Cheers, Mel... I sold my Holdsworth to pay for it... Oh well... ;D

You spawny cunt!

It's going to be a conversion.

Braze-ons removed?

Yup, I'm charging the battery on my angle grinder as we speak...

Take it down to Vaz

Gorgeous baby blue?

I was thinking more 'misty buff'
