Current Projects chat and miscellany

Used to riding brakeless/coaster, so not really.

Will add one in case i have some trainee to teach though.

Ed's needs a disc brake!

Yours looks nice James, don't ruin it with shit parts ;-)

both of those things ^
not keen on the drops...
but if thats the comfiest setup then fair enough

So going back to my earlier question, shall I just get a Pugsley for shits and giggles?
I wonder if that one in Brixton has been sold- anyone?

my head says "no, you'll probably sell it soon"
my heart says "fuckyeahpugsleyletsgetradonsnowetc."

I wonder if Brixton Cycles have a Pugsley that you can test ride? they're shitload fun to ride.

they had one. i was also joking.

Wanna buy one? I seem to have 10 at the moment.

nah, im saving for a kona :)

I'm not sure what my 7 would be, needless to say that I'd like to have a nice road bike made of superlight steel, with S+S couplers, a tourer with S+S couplers, and a Pugsley.
yeah....
think thats how i'd like it.

also a Gryphon is definitely looking like a viable choice.

I'm not sure what my 7 would be

If I had to cut it down to only 7, I'd keep the Koga, Look 585 and 464, Azonic, Hirame and Fort, and whatever my 2011 project turns out to be.

7 you say. I am one short, what will it be. I can't wait to tell the wife I need another one.

A lightweight steel xc bike. a race bmx. My P3 jump bike, with some new forks. A carbon track bike. A classic steel track bike. A freestyle fixed, probs a BMW. and a 6 - 8 inch travel full susser for freeride, adventure and dh etc.

Oh and my hetchins... can I have 8?

7 bikes.

-1987 Cannondale criterium bike. Already got it.
-26in SS jump bike. Fully rigid, single rear disc brake.
-Something Cromoly steel and fixed gear with sealed bits all over, simple as can be w/ no braks, as expected on a fixed.
-On One Pompino SS w/ CX tyres, risers and good canti brakes.
-Cyclocross race bike, either a Cannondale SuperX SRAM Red or something fillet brazed steel w/ all the usual suspects, SRAM group, CK headset, Avid brakes, Thomson finishing kit...
-BMX, Sunday/FBM/Fit
-90's aluminum track bike (GT Tiemeyer-esque)

€10,626 for a brand new standard 1.4 hatchback.

I know which one I'll go for.

-On One Pompino SS w/ CX tyres, risers and good canti brakes.

Of all the bike in the world, a Pompino? really?

Not that it's a bad bike, but.. is that how high you can aim?

Hah, I love the edit! Oh it will be so worth it! It's a lot of money to save up though! I'll get the frame first but by the time I have the money it'll probably be next generation Dura-Ace and other parts...

Going to mask off all the silver decals on the Cinelli bits and just spray over them in matte black too, maybe get the brake levers anodised black while I'm at it, I want it to be the most super stealth bike ever but still quite classy looking, lose the logos off the Lightweight wheels too, maybe keep one "Lightweight" on each side of each rim.

I'm getting a little too excited for something I'm not going to be able to afford for quite a while!
