Current Projects chat and miscellany

it peels off in minuscule slivers that get stuck in your nails. Then you give up after literally 5 minutes of just trying to get a piece that doesn't rip.

sounds like a challenge, but i don't plan on taking it off any time soon

as long as its not in my direct view when I'm riding it I'm sure it wont bother me

It's grand, you can use a hair dryer as suggested in the enclosed product instructions/details

I've got two identical champagne corks that I'm dying to use as bar-end plugs. Just don't have an appropriate bike to put them on at the moment.

It's complete but not finished just yet, I need more funds for an inline post.

I just want to get it on the track now and do what it's built for, instead of track standing in the kitchen.
andyp please forgive me for de-stickering the wheels, but I think they look alright.
I know weight is a sensitive subject on here, but for anyone interested the total weight is 7.4kg.

Nice!

It's looking great!

No need to look for forgiveness. I meant to do it myself but because the bike was stored at HH never got around to it. They look much better without the stickers.

Nice!

Thanks!

Ah i see, they do look good. With wheels from the legendary Herne Hill, and a frame from team GB I've got some real training to do.
Cheers again for the wheels and the bb advice.

Very nice!

That looks awesome. Everything looks right, and perfectly balanced.

i agree

Jambon lovely 'rello

ha, so much love!

Make that +2

Agreed, them bars look gash yo!

Current set up.
Rory O'Brien track path frame
Dia Compe Gran Compe wheelset with Schwalbe Marathon 28c winter tyres (need to change)
3TTT Bars and Stem.
Shimano 600 levers.
Mavic Road cranks
Rolls Saddle.

Cranks:

NB: hub is fixed fixed and I've only got a rear brake as I wanted hoods for winter and an extra brake didn't seem like a bad thing.

ha, so much love!

I hate it

Not really

changed my chick track bike a bit to make it more comfy (bars) and got a set of campy high flange to mavic cpx10 clinchers to make it more useable, will pic up a white kashimax tomorrow and then its done for now.

also updated my gf's 753 raleigh. old DA brakes, white cables and alloy bolts where possible to save weight, and a campay victory crankset to make the 42 chainring look bigger ;-). headset needs to be changed to stronglight a9 and its done.

Too much win

graffity makes average bikes look kewl.

Ewans current project...

hipster douchebag

i expected ewan to be an open pro kinda guy

hipster douchebag

He may be a hipster but at least he can ride the bike properly unlike most hipsters.

Saddle's too high.

And he's got a brake. Pussyclaaart
