How often are you going to whiten the walls ?
Are are you thinking of another kind of protection (either protect the tyres of the wall)?

Finally done: Twin Chicks
3ttt track stem, track bars, 3ttt record seatpost and 3ttt barplugs
cinelli univanitor track saddle with alloy undercarriage

Too bad you didn't finish it off (yet) with another 3ttt saddle.

it's not too bad a the moment because the dirty marks are underneath the tyres - i was thinking maybe white gaffer tape in vertical lines?

Its arrived.

shit the bed....

Let me know if/when you want to shift it... :)

Those are stupidly light, even with the heavy component of an old Charge Plug on it.

got me bike hooks installed and working at work... just need to add a 4th mount for the new brompton
£1.99 each from the local diy shop - bargainous

First thing first, that look awesome and so do your collection.

secondly - it's a Brompton, are you sure you need a rack for it? I mean it fold.

Its arrived.

When are you going to remove the white cardboard pieces?

Its arrived.

congrats, i hope it was worth the wait... and obviously don't forget to post it built up.

it does fold indeed... and you're probably right but it would be nice to have them all in the row

That BMC is a monster.

Pretty high position for track, no?

Bainbridge, different body proportion innit? some need massive saddle to bar drop, some need smaller.

sick bikes.

i wood just put some attractively stained oak or the like in vertical strips beneath the hooks.

might take about 15 minutes total time.

Holy fuck! Perfect you cu..........

Just been told off by Rik for posting my new frame, powder-coated at Armourtex, in the Armourtex thread.
According to the Spaniard, it is a current project:

RAL 1035 Matte finish.
Just got my b.day present to myself, from Armourtex.
Ottadini track frame, 531c tubing, Suntour track ends, very nice lugs.
(To know more about Ottadini, go here)
Decals already ordered (custom) from H Lloyd Cyles:

I'm a happy man today.
BTW: Armourtex's prices have gone up, again.
£74 for color&lacquer (steel)
£79 for color£tinted lacquer (amazing new option)

any one know what frame this is?

531, faded paintjob, mudguard eyelets, rear rack braze ons...

Looks like an 80's touring/audax frame to me.

I am pissed though. Looks like a Dawes.

What's the sticker below the tubing sticker on the seat tube?

the sticker says

REYNOLDS
501
Double Butted Frame Tubes.

at the bottom there is a stamp saying '' PPHIL'' lol
and another saying ''BHIL - PHIL''

i hope this makes sense.

Its arrived.
