Current Projects chat and miscellany

In the style of the above posts, I like it apart from the cranks, chain, seatpost, saddle, toestraps. Looks like a fun ride.

Stupid bike.

Why oh why, oh why?
Please merge this with Anti-porn.

Is that a joke?

no, he's sirius

I like this bicycle very much.

I like the wheels and the everything.

How are things working out with the new guide dog?

Come on, are you telling me you wouldn't want to own a siik fixie like this?

This bike reminds me of this:

haha youre right about the aerospoke, but theyre so badass.

they're indeed a bad ass, they're heavy, create a flywheel effect thus making it slightly harder to slow down/speed up, they make your bike extremely attractive to thieves, etc.

You'll notice a huge difference switching from a skinny lightweight wheel to a heavy aero wheels.

just put on a new saddle and drop bullhorns. reckon its there!

any chance of a close up of the hubs? i might be seeing things but it looks like they have gaps in them?

That's true; I was always faster on Spoks than on the Mach 2CD option, although part of that was the better tyres. But that was back in the early 1990s, and I was riding time trials, not tooling around the city. There are much better wheels than Spoks available now for either task.

Is this so unheard of?

yoo hoo...

I think that Condor is really bloody lovely. What bars were on there before?
I do think tape the bars up and that would cap it off.

my

: seriously?

oops.

Well you did say "comments welcome" Possibly the daftest thing to do with a bike like that

Cheap 700c wheelsets to get the bike on the road I'd say decathlon over in surrey quay or lakeside. Rear will be a screw on and have to be redished to a single speed but doable and should be around £50 to buy and if the right cycling guy is there they will redish it for you, helps if you speak a little french.

Finished my stealth bike. Mysterious frame from ebay. Seller said it might be a Graham Weigh although they can't confirm that. I've not been able to find any others like it. Seat tube cut out and with compact geo. Super light and with very smooth welds. Goes like stink! Wallis is a youth racing team from up north. If anyone could shed any more light on the frame that would be great. Jim.

Edit: Phone pics look awful! I'll get some better ones up when I get my hands on a better camera.

looks really nice.

Nice bike, get rid of those decals for real stealth

+1. And get a black chain.

Ed, what bedpan is this?

been after one for a while

I think that might be a mini cataplana on a stick? But I'm sure nuknow would know.

chain is fine, IMHO, but the decals as to go, or at least put some black tape on top
