Current Projects chat and miscellany

New road bike ready, though the rear gears aren't shifting properly. Want to get it up and running by the Clacton ride on Saturday, anybody good with SRAM Rival?

OK, let you off.

Slangen you are not allowed to post those track bikes you've got.

It makes us all angry and jealous.

on an unrelated note, that looks like an awesome litttle room with the stairs going from a living space to a more utilitarian room. This makes me happy.

Sorry, but I was so lucky finding them and no I feel like a dork posting them here, I would never have afford them if they where on the flea... I am a dork.

Now thats a quiver

Sweet but what I have in store for the other half is really something else, I'm getting pretty excited about it! Will post a pic very soon....

Tonight I am mostly building wheels with shimano 600 ex arabesque hubs and VO PBP rims. They will be shiny.

Good news on the Look; Wippermann 1R8 chains now shipping in a track friendly 112 link length, although they haven't reprinted the packaging yet so they still say 96 on the box, and there are still 96 link units in the supply chain, so double check if you're buying - I had to send one back to CRC.

Bad news, if I were bothered by such things; the Look 464 is now officially fashionable http://chicksandbikes.blogspot.com/2010/09/blog-post_9413.html & http://cyclingwmd.blogspot.com/2010/09/look.html

The chain and tyres are now on, the plan is to get the steerer properly trimmed before going to Calshot next month, so there should be finished pix then.

Well I would have been if some idiot hadn't bought 32h rims for his 36h hubs. I was so sure they were 32. I am a huge blithering tit.

Any one need some wonderfully shiny VO PBP 700c 32 hole rims feel free to make me an offer.

Tonight I am mostly sulking.

Do you really read/check cyclingwmd ?
Okay, that story "how it all started" is very nice, but for the rest it's all crap.
Rich spoiled kid. Hardly knows what he has. I would settle for Slangen's collection.

No, it was via trackosaurus

Not quite finished yet but pretty happy with it

Sweet bartape job.

Gumwall instead of hipster tyres would be much better.
