Current Projects chat and miscellany

Not my pic. Twas just a hint to Dammit.

For stuff like holding your bottle cages on, I'd go alu anyway. That guy uses a backpack bladder, so sealed his cage holes with plastic plugs instead of bolts. Its also a mountain bike bolt set.

liking the paint job(rust?) - how was this done?

Fe + O + H2O

anodising happens over time...

Oxydising...

Kill me now- I am sat here wondering if I have "heavy" bottle cages.

Looks like clear lacquer over the rust, looks good, stem up, change bars and it would be dope..

Excuse my lazyness:

Looking forward to seeing this, I've been thinking about doing my track champion for a while.
Stripped is the new black

This is really lovely. Would put it into bike porn but sadly can't access that thread at work.

Looks nice Eddie but a bit of a waste of a very nice stem just my opinion.

agreed, I'll do you a favour trade it for my Cinelli XA ;)

^ looks good with those bars, as said a flater stem would look better. Brave choice of locks on a bike like that.

dont really care.

It was given to me for this bike (specifically) for a certain bike job i did some time ago. It's more sentimental value rather than looks.

Nice hubs :)

*Eddie that looks really nice, what bars are they?

They look like north road ones.

Yeah a mini fahg would match the colour scheme way better ;)

hobo that looks fucking cool.

What he said. A pornworthy Mash at last!

Campa Track Tandem-Chainset and Stoker Stem :D
... other half of my 'Current Project' still to come by mail

That's a lovely looking stoker stem

The hubs really do look the sex.

The very nice hubs and very nice stem are not wasted on the very very nice bike.

Does anyone know of any in-line interrupter levers that will work with caliper brakes? Just wondering

All of them. The cable pull for cantilevers and callipers is the same.

Just finished my 'rat' / beater.

Mind the crankarm, need to get another.
Plan is to put a LED in headlight, buy a nice taillight, true the wheels a bit more or change them.
These are 28 x 1 1/2 wheels and got some 28 x 1 5/8 wheels and tires, but need to convert rear to kickback brake hub.

Oh yeah. I was thinking of V-Brakes. I'll get my coat, and burn my Cytech qualification while I'm at it.

Very nice. What's up with the crank arm, is it bent or cotterpin hole fucked or something?

Pretty much finished. Would like a different saddle and some double straps but they will have to wait.

Now THAT's a Cinelli/MASH I would ride :-)
