Where do you keep it?

Where do you keep it?

In the fridge, just like Ricco

Show us the Thorn when it's finished, ED.

Ed should come to the FUBU ride, don't change anything to the Thorn. Just add some Fubu.

Ha.

Is he riding back from the lake with water for the village?

Swapped out the RB201 bullhorns for some older Nitto bullhorns and wrapped them in yellow Benotto tape. Now I need to clean up my old yellow turbo to match!

Very nice ^

Any chance of some one helping me find some cheap road wheels that fit a 5/6 speed freewheel? i'm a bit lost!

been watching these, might suit your needs.

I have South American blood

You?? you look like a cab driver who decided to give a treadmill a try!

any good?

At that price it's hard to criticise.

Planning to make a set of Alu combi quill stem/ TT bars for my Fort. Want to make the cockpit as alu blades with armrest built into the blades. Have to see how I get on with them but seems like a good enough solution to the pain in the hole of trying to get TT bars to fit a quill stem.

Tester gonna test?

Edit: Obviously the angles are a bit shite there but you get the idea.

Dumb question but that will fit a 6 speed freewheel right?

your always so negative, cheer up!

Doesn't seem to state the OLN dimension, but since this is 2011 it's most likely 130mm, although 126mm will be fine for 6-speed too.

What problem? Get a quill to ahead converter for ~£10 and use any cockpit set up available. How sure are you that you have your position perfectly dialled in? You don't want to spend a lot of effort on a custom integrated set up unless you're certain that your position is right - not just comfortable but perfectly balanced between power output and drag. Some people who have had a working position for years make quite large changes after a wind tunnel session.

Oh, I dunno...

you still need to rim tape them or your tubes will burst!

Sounds iffy to me - you might want to find some wheels which don't need rim tape... :)

rim tape is for pussys!

You're doing it wrong

ah shucks

james use a cd marker pen for lug lining,vaz used a gold pen on my moser for the panto's and lugs

That seems a lot easier than using a fine paint brush. I'll give that a go.

Thanks for the advice.
