(The original single pivot Chorus was really appalling with modern brake hood).

Dibs your old brakes, if they are Chorus Monoplanar

Don't worry I didn't forget about that, already packed them, just pm'd me your address.

psychic now

He knew you were going to post that.

Lottery numbers?

ha :-)

well, I had a go at covering the Easton Bars earlier.
Tried one side with some old Fizik Dual which is comfy as hell, but maybe a bit to bulky for the job. If i go with tape i think standard Fizik will be better, and less bulky on the rounded ends.

The Fizik looks good. Do it on both sides. 'Problem' solved.

I just had a look at one of my old bat grips, and seems like it would work.

I used to rubber up my bat handle, so often had quite thin rubbers on the inside (OOh matron). that might do it...

definitely going to look into this, cheers

Nice!, I've finally finished and ridden mine (posted here a few weeks back in prog) SB Team Track.

This looks shithot! Nice work...
Makes me want to get mine restored to original colours even more...

Nearly got the BMC perfect Going to try some black Omniums also would like a 130 THOMSON stem

i know these are really good frames but i can't learn to like that am afraid - are these your street wheels and you have the disc for the track?

Ok, so I have dropped the Fort off to have the BB installed (would have done myself but lack of BB tool and grease meant the LBS was an easier option today, they're pretty sound too). Just need to pick up some tyres now and it is FINISHED! Pics to follow today or tomorrow!

Not street wheel don't ride it on the street training wheels and track league,I have a disc which I will use in more serious stuff,once you ride one on the track you can tell the difference the planet x is good this is awesome.

definitely going to look into this, cheers

I've used cricket bat grip before on an old beater. Had to use it over the top of cork tape tho coz it was too baggy to go straight on the bars.

Could maybe use a cople of these?

Just put my new bargain Flite max on the Concorde, slowly getting there, swapping contacts to black, and looking at a new chainset.

Start of next project:

needs a rear wheel.

These

just arrived to go on this

with these

on the way

Not many more bits to get, just saddle, bars, bb, chain and pedals. Should be nice, although way of the 5.5kg I was aiming for. Should still be under 6kg though.

Going to look awsome Guy if you want to borrow the Dura ace let me know,just realised I am away for the easter HH meet at Manchester

Just thought id repost pictures of the left side,
personally i cant stop looking at it, and even though i promised myself i wouldnt ride it till the summer just cant kick it off me, pictures don't even do it justice,

build a bike then not ride it for another few months? That's self control.

restraint of irrelevant comments, now that's control SUMO

how is that irrelevant? You just spent like £3k on a bike and promised yourself you wouldn't ride it til summer. There's no way I would be able to do that, it wasn't a dig at you. (Well maybe a little).

I'm with Sumo, no way could I resist riding summit like that, seems a shame for it to not be ridden like!

haha either way its being ridden Tenderloin, i just think Sumo wishes he where riding it.

like!

No way, I'd break something expensive on it.
