Current Projects chat and miscellany

swapped my ultra sport tyres for some grand prix supersonics and they feel much better on the track.

There's about the same jump to made again by swapping to some good tyres :-)

Ha... gunna test. clincher suggestions most welcome.

Jordan anodized grey tb14s?

trying to decide on whether to build some up with Goldtecs, but black or anodized rim? eh!

Why aren't you lot using Campagnolo Omega Hardox instead of those H+Sons rims?

Yeah these are grey anodised, look amazing in the flesh. Already had loads of compliments on them.

Put your cock away.

It's just those NOS Campag rims are the real deal and you can still pick a pair up for £80.

First ride on my Klein for about 6 months, in fact first ride on a bike with gears and freewheel since October

Plenty of Omega 19s. £75 (plus a tenner postage) available in 32 or 36h.

Nice one, thanks

That's for tubulars, plenty of clincher rims if you scroll up.

Looks fantastic! Hope you're enjoying the pedals ;)

I put some tektro rl340's on my Raleigh Royal today, they've fantastic. damn comfortable, built in q/r and cheap as chips.

terrible

thanks!

Nice, and impressive work on reducing the weight.

Aesthetically some decals might help to break the red up a bit.

i don't think it looks great i (don't even like red bikes) but it's been build to ride fast...that's all!

Also, I'm not sure about the alu nuts with no caps. I found that they often start to come loose after a while. Have you put some thread lock on? If not it might be an idea.

I know DA do Ti allen key ones.

they have been in there for a year now no problems at all!

I don't think vintage quill stem steel bikes are built to ride fast, but wouldnt the easiest way to drop weight be tubular wheels?
