Current Projects chat and miscellany

Finally road ready :)

Spec:
Claud Butler 531 lugless steel frame [mid fifties]
Miche cranks,
Normandy Hubs on Mavic Record du Monde de l'Heure sprint rims with tubs,
Brooks Swift saddle,
Nitto B123 steel bars and Nitto Pearl stem,
Campagnolo brake levers,
and a Hi-Gear brake because it was the only one in the shed with enough drop :)

Really beautiful.

Look awesome, the Miche crank is an oddity on that bike.

Check out the TA crankset, they're lighter than the Miche too;

God, you are such a bore!

Nacnud, that looks bloody wicked.

@nacud- is that thomson going to be surplus to requirments? if so then let me know :)

@Miro_o there is a used tub and CO2 cartridge wedged in that saddlebag :)

Well the first ride was great but I wasn't expecting to use that spare tub so soon :( damn flint cut the sidewall "C'est la vie"

@TomD Saddle is great thanks comfortable from the off so somebody has broken it in a bit or my arse is just getting more used to them :)

I'd fuck it

Oh no X2! get the 4 bolt one quick!

Why? I've been using it for about 3 years....

^ That Corima's gonna be a "head turner".Nice one.

Loving the Corima!

Not my cup of tea but shows some very, very careful thought and consideration. I do admire that in your personal aesthetics. Nice build Pisti.

They break, especially on standing starts when you put in the beans. Dunno, how much do you weigh?

Corima looks good, how does it ride?

Looks much nicer now it's built up.

Like I said, 3 years of pretty vigorous use and no probs....

Besides, I'm only 9 stone

"vigorous"?

???? picking some black or silver bits from a standard list of track specific parts the same as everybody else. a cogitation of epic proportions. maybe he used a supercomputer to help decide on a black or silver thomson?

"vigorous"?

Oh do fuck off you boring cunt!

"vigorous"?

Vinegar strokes

I like it. Looks like an aggressive custard.
