what lever is that on the concorde? Looks like its machined from billet sexh.

Just got done with this budget cyclocross. Such a fun ride. And yes its fixed.
Pretty excited to see how it copes with mud. Probably not well, but then again its build for fun not winning.

ooof! nice.
btw, it would've been cool if those two pics were one actually =))

I have some teasers too.

Now that is quite some seatpost you've got there.

I have used a track frame off-road in mud (not with CX tyres though as they wouldn't fit) and it was fine. I didn't use brakes though mud build up around the brakes obviously wasn't an issue.

@ Zdrenka

Zero mud clearance, the wrong brakes, and a radial laced front wheel are going to be limiting factors. Looks like great fun in the dry though.

Just take the brakes off. Don't need them off road as skidding and sliding around is more fun.

2 bikes.

I love the way nag finish off their dropouts

It is.

There is something incredibly liberating about riding a bike hopelessly inadequate for the task in hand, looks epic fun. Enjoy

Sound like an idea. Since front braking is very limited when its slippery a rear brake is all you need I suppose.

The bikes previous life was on the road, hence the radial lacing.

Second this,those brakes wouldbe worse than useless for cross so take em off and have some skiddy fun! :D

...until the day 'they' get all together and start a Forum.

Jambon Great job, that looks FAST!

Thanks very much, it's definitely better than I am if that makes sense.

Apart from the predictable insecurities about it being the wrong size, I'm finished.
My road bikes 56 ctc and this is 57 ctc, I'm sure that should be the other way round.

are those mavic wheels?
great job! i like the look of the bike ;)

@Jambon......Lovely neat garden and new garden shed,nice.

'Pero que coño?!'

My name is not Nuño, it's Nuno ;)

Niunio (ñuño) means "sissy" in my language.

Scorch, it looks like a lovely frame.

My stable of the past few years.

Pride and joy - colnago super with chorus/record mix

Orlowski fixed gear, dura ace cranks, front vento, nitto stem. (ignore saddle angle I havent ridden it for ages)

Hope y'all like!

epic seat post on that dolan!

Yeah they are ellipses without the stickers.
Cheers, it's a shame the price tag on Johnny Fitz's is preventing it from being built up and enjoyed.

Ha, really need to sort that grass out. I won't rest till all those daisies are gone.

Fucks up the trails though and gives the haters the ammunition they want.

Not clever.

was cycling in Fulham by the river cafe and what looked like a 14 bike co framed bike cycled past-dark green with brooks saddle and tape-looked proper nice
was wondering if anyone knows whose it is or has a picture?

@ blankface - what gearing you got on that orlowski? looks mad tiny up front.
