Current Projects chat and miscellany

I was looking at Shamals ages ago and I got advised away from them on this site. Wish I'd gone for it.

Were you looking at tubs perchance?

It's 753 reynolds frame so nice and light steel and made in 1987, the year of my birth.

No, clinchers.

So not quite sure how to describe this build, but it took me a year of hunting around ebay to find these cyclocross forks - half way through putting it together - Barspins FTW!! Will have a white charge knife when finished instead of the spoon

it's not my kind of thing, but i like it.

That looks like a larf! What bar's are they, I think I've seen them on the geekhouse before.....

doesn't the brake lever hit the frame if you barspin?

Looks like fun vv!
I am ordering one of those hollow top-cap headsets from crc flood sale - been meaning to bodge that for AGES.
(Not that I can barspin... + I'll have to take the rack off..)

nice work with that brake cable through the steerer tube!

On second thought the brown charge saddle does look nice on the bike.

Looks wicked!

Well thought out, and well put together.
This is what we should be able to rep folk for ;)

Good work on the Gazelle, and the crazy ally (Langster?) thing 'villain's built.

Could that be the ultimate winter city bike? it could certainly loose speed in the wet a lot quicker then most bikes.

Not quite finished...still need more lacquering and a nice buff/polish and then rebuild but here's a little teaser :D

Looks sweet like.

as in it actually looks like a sweet.

Nice.

Yep, it's looking not dissimilar to a box of quality street at the moment

Twinkle twinkle little bike.

Nice colour.

How did you apply the paint in the end? Can imagine a normal airbrush would get clogged up pretty quick with that.
