Current Projects chat and miscellany

Well finally done it this is on order should get it Thursday.

finally. Now let me know when you're selling it.

It's not my project, but I just found this on WW.

The guy comes across really well. Definately worth a read.

Current parts I have for this as follows:

Nitto 100 stem ""
Sugino 75 cranks ""
Sugino 75 chainring (max crowe)
Tange Levin Headset (Tokyo Fixed)
Cambio Rino pedals/cages ""
Brooks Swift (brown)
Brooks brown bar tape
Campagnolo Omega V rims (black) (Nigel at Campyoldy)

Will post some more pics when done. Happy Xmas riding to one and all!

Not my build nor my business, but for such a non-budget set-up, why
not splashing some of your cash moneys on a better Headset? And which BB are you going for, out of curiosity, please?

KC, if I may ask, what do you for living?

gilles berthoud 25 in grey.

I love the fact you have a Thomson's Barber Shop.
Never seen one before... what's the diameter? Is it laidback? ;P

Don't worry, my coat is on...

Really?

Record hubs are lovely. But they dont come in the sort of low drilling count you'd likely be looking at for such a deep rim.

Just my opinion.

Was able to fetch some 32h rims

wow this is pretty cool in fact

Hi, no worries, it's the pricier LV1500 NJS one, which I had left over from another project, it's nothing top of the range obviously, but decent quality as far as I've heard. Not sure about BB yet, but was thinking of Sugino 75 or Phil. Any other recommendations always welcome

Get a Phil or Campagnolo Centaur BB.

Sell the rubbish Tange headset and buy a Chris King.

Amazing, the thread makes for great reading. Cheers for sharing

Whoop, there it is!! It would be awsome as a fixie indeed ;)

Just picked this up

Wheels will be replaced soon, thinking of making it fixed too

It's not rubbish, I had one and found it to be decent,... but for someone going for 120 quid rims,
thinking of a Phil BB and whatnot, I'd get my priorities straight.
But there you are, I prioritize BB and Headset over everything else.

*Obviously these are my priorities.

;) Good Build.

Cheers for the comments guys, take your points. I'll probs get it ready for the road first, with the Tange and then see how I go, a Chris King would definitely top it off. Saving for Phil hubs from Hubjub at the mo too. Not sure on seatpost yet, but would be dangerous to kick off another seatpost debate on here!

Thomson Masterpiece, silver.

60 mm carbon clinchers (OEM), laced to Campy record hubs.

I think he meant, why go for the additional stiffness and weight of 60mm rims if you're going to use that many spokes?

Just for looks really ;). But it will save some weight though, Aksiums aren't the lightest wheels out there. The bike as it is now is 6,8 kg, barely legal.

Besides, loosing a few kilos of fat is cheaper ;)

thanks a lot for letting us know
after seen this I envy* you a little bit less...

*in a nice way

ha!

I hadn't been to a barbers in like 7 years until recently, I forgot that it can actually be a pleasant experience.

Get a Phil or Campagnolo Centaur BB.

+1

I run a centaur with my 75 and a chris king up front and it's a killer combo

Only recommending the best.

Cheers Max.
