Current Projects chat and miscellany

i will check my stock today and let you know.

That is mental. Looks like something Nicolai might make if they did a road frame.

^^One of Brucy's ill type creations.

Nice one mate.

Did you make these?

madness, utter madness. Ben you've gone too far

I think you shoulda stuck made more angular components on it like a fugly square bmx stem.

+1 to clearcoating it keep it looking like a ratbike

I'd like to see it in the flesh, wanna race?

Sounds good! you about today?

^ brucy i asked you for first dibs when you sold this, such a monster, double drat.
and casaBLANKA i put forward an identical proposition if/when you decide to part with it.

^sorry man you can have my next creation.^

^^^Prefer it built up that way tbh, front clearances is ridiculous and risers look dope.

I'm gonna hold on to it for a while Jambon, will let you know otherwise.

What's instore Brucy?

tall bike lo-pro?

nah i have some oval tubing im into angular with oval it will be funny thou

Black seatpost, stem, hoods and bartape?

Leave it as is. I always liked the black stem, silver bars, white tape look, like Bianchi's used to have.

As for welding racks and going for the rat look....

Why use a bike like that? IMO it doesn't matter how cheap it is, it just seems silly to be using a perfectly good bike to then 'distress'. Surely something like this is a better option?

nice one. I should be getting some midge bars for mine soon.

about 30 seconds after I posted that these turned up on my desk, from my sister (it's my birthday today).

now my lunchtime quest is to find some new bartape, and eat cake.

ha! say it's your birthday on forum... check back half an hour later...no comments...

happy birthday pal.

Some nice leather grips?

Burls Titanium - v.happy!

eric, glad your happy about the finished nature of your bike, but might be best if you posted it up in current projects, https://www.lfgss.com/thread6261-810.html, rather than starting a whole new thread for it.

now get out and ride it.

Burls Titanium fixed CX- v.happy!

Cheers job done - moderators please delete thread.

that's a right beaut that.

checks price of Ti frames....

puts on hold til not a student.

happy birthday pal.

Some nice leather grips?

cheers. I just picked up so cheapo mint green bar tape from condor for under 4 quid which will keep me going for now. It was the most obnoxious colour they had for under a fiver. I want to practice wrapping bars a bit more before i splash £35 on some brooks (which is the eventual plan)

Burls Titanium fixed CX- v.happy!

Totally out of interest, but how come Cycle-cross bikes don't have disc brakes?

I do a fair amount of off roading, and a friend of mine tagged along on his MB which had side pull brakes, and all they did was get clogged up with mud, and made us all wait whilst he de-clogged them with sticks.

Now I appreciate the difference between CX and a proper Off road, just a thought that was all.
