well... you must be right then.

good fucking work Schnitter. I hope you're putting the crazy forks on.

So sick! Enjoy

I rode the fucking thing arsewipe.

Slowly. Which isn't the best way to judge aerodynamic performance.

Holding a smoke wand out in front of you is tricky, Andy

i can see why you didn't have the dough for my buddy's moser

Repped.

That sentence paints the most wonderful picture in my mind.

But you have a Pegoretti with a nodder headtube, no?

technically it's a dropped top tube instead of a head tube extension. have 1 thin spacer above headset (2mm?) and a 130 stem pointing the right way :-)

when i borrowed a Fuji 'racing' bike (as opposed to a fat gut sportive bike) still only had 1x 5mm spacer between headset/stem and a flipped down stem.
I would have to use a 10-15° stem flipped on a roubaix or other mamil type bike.

So...Schnitter, sell me the Merckx? ;)

Upgraded the Dolan with some road bars and bottle cages. Hopefully be able to clock up some decent mileage on it in around Shropshire.

my current project.
Thanks forumers spinto for frame and retro_di_corsa for brakes and other bits.
Only not sure about the wheels. C&C are very welcome.

Looking great.
If you choose to change the wheels, you can sell me the front ( :

For Mr. C... tape took a few goes to get on well, and didn't match the Unicanitor so had to swap out... but I'm happy with it now! Thanks again...

^Horrible horrible filthy sidewalls... oh the humanity...

cor.

@ chris, what saddle is this, looks awesome

Cheers Chris!
It's a San Marco Corsaire 313... bought it off Hilary, he has another "NOS" black leather one although last time I bought "NOS" off Hilary it was the chainring and it had oil and wear on it... ahem...

My track frame again. Now with lacquer!

Rather happy with the result, considering myself and a mate sprayed it the garden!

May have to paint or re-chrome (I won't try that in the garden!) the fork as it's letting the side down somewhat. Re-chroming is hella expensive though - so it will probably get a lick of paint!

What do you reckon?

Chris that bike just keeps getting better and better.

About time it was in the bike porn thread again. Good call Tenderloin.

well... you must be right then.

Perhaps my description of aerodynamic might be a bit vague, when I was riding against a headwind, I didn't feel the effect, only on my body.

crosswind is nothing, didn't even budge.

annoyingly, tailwind doesn't have that much impact for some reason.

Well done CHris. Beauty.

This was finished a wee while ago but It's recently got some Look Kéo Sprints on it and a stripped Selle Italia SLR.

sorry to quote a couple of pages back, but why are you running this gorgeous frame that looks like a track frame (i cant see dropouts) with such a low gear and a brake? i find it easy to imagine without a front brake, but surely it should be used on aforementioned track? and such expensive paraphernalia on it (seatpost) doesn't fit with the low gear...

It's a P2, not a track frame. The seat post is proprietary, you have no choice with the P2/P3/P4 etc. but to run the stock Cervelo post. That brake set up would come off with a couple of Allen keys, given the hinged clamp on a cross top lever, making it ready for the track after riding to the velodrome.

That just leaves the gear, which looks soft, but maybe there's a tiny cog on the other side. With the very short slots on the P2, it might be necessary to run what amounts to a micro drive to get track and road gearing within the small tooth difference available, e.g. 44/13 would be OK for HH, 44/16 is a street gear, only needs ⅜" of axle movement.

This is lovely. How you finding the veloflex's? Mine didn't last long in London.
