Lovely Noca..
I need me one of those custom frames.

Noca, It's getting rondiculous!!... That's sooo nice.
I'm the OG portuguese fixieskidder. I need to have a VALDEMIRO!

Finished my first project tonight... A Raleigh Mixte for my flatmate. I'll be taking photos in the morning, so keep 'em peeled.

Just finished this:

:) it's almost a CRIME you still don't have one
but please remind that it's better for you to give Valdemiro all the info (geometry, etc.) of what you really want.
hey nuknow, any thoughts about the colour? Any suggestion?

Tim, just so you know, I hate you.

jealousy

Soul, very nice.

Looking much better than the OTP BMC.

It'll ride like a dream, I guarantee you.

Anything pearl, to enhance the smoothness of them curves. :)

richardveltos - I'm currently running a 1 x 5 set up that does require some kind of chain watcher. If you have such, should be doable.
Here's a link for the one I have - http://www.gvtc.com/~ngear/

brakes are coming off. Seatpost, risers and chainset ordered on ebay.
Now I need to find some cheap wheels and saddle and I'm sorted. Love the simplicity of fixed bikes.

Geared bikes can look simple.

I mean for building mainly. Wouldn't like to have to deal with all those internal cables on that Level, no matter how pretty it is.

The other option is the Paul Chain Keeper;

OJAW, I'm interested to see what your 5x1 bicycles look like.

Ed, I gotta figure out this embedded pic thing. Be back shortly.

Here my little side project while I'm at uni - nothing mad just building for an A to B

the frame was stripped, sanded and is now back from the spray shop and is a lovely colour I chose! will keep that under wrapped until later.

Paul components are nice, but pricey for what they are.

They are, for those who doesn't want to shell out for the Paul canti, check out the Mafac Racer, that's what Paul base their design on.

still very powerful.

similar bike with a 10x1 set-up;

Lumpy process, but I hope this shows up, Ed.

Wow, that's simply beautiful, can see you put a lots of though on it.

Thanks, Ryffranck is originally Belgian, but he set up shop in Quebec, firstly with Marinoni and eventually on his own. He told me that this would likely be his last frame: he is in his late seventies and has pretty bad arthritis in his hands. Or maybe he says that to all the boys (and girls).
