Current Projects chat and miscellany

That Brooklyn is very, very good.

You must be tall - 61 with the seat all the way up there.
About 6'3" but with long arms and legs. But I think the pic angle makes it look longer than it is.

that is the stupidist thing i've heard in months.

you should get a teardrop helmet and disc wheels too.....they''d prob save you another 2 hours.

I don't want to go too fast mate.

you cannot be serious?

what do you mean mate?

He just wants an excuse to shave his legs.

shaven legs aren't actually more aero ;)

I like it. wouldn't the aero savings made by the water bottle be offset slightly by have your pump sticking out to the side of the downtube?

Well they are both made by specialized so I presume they are designed to compliment each other and actually make the bike even more aero.

:)

+1 :]

just beginning a wheel build.
I'll let you know how it goes.

The new open pro cds are pretty nice.

Looks like I've got a new project on the go!

another jammy find! how much?

£55, £15 postage. Thanks to the ebay thread!

nice, look forward to seeing that built up! hopefully without a respray! ;)

bargain

70 quid! you bastard!!!!!!!

No respray. Maybe new forks.
Risers. Strong as fuck wheels. Might even go non-more-black. hmmm...

61cm Fuji track done for now (will eventually change wheels and cranks). Nothing special but pretty quick. excuse the dark pics.

Are you using your Fuji for TT training? I like the fork, did not realise those came drilled.

Yep, i'll probably race on it at first as well, then build up a race bike later on.

Finally, my wheels have been built - I'm loving Phil hubs. How tasty are they in the flesh? I'm putting them on the Concept Pista as soon as it arrives... (thanks Graham) just a few more pieces to find. Anyone got some Sugino 75's?

You're gettin a concept pista? To replace the plug racer?

Cool.

quite an upgrade there...

@ Motman - really nice bike.
Is that saddle a selle italia criterium?
If so where did you get it?
I've got an old one (although it says sella - not selle - italia) that needs replacing.

Just checked and it does says 'Sella Italia Criterium' rather than 'Selle...' .
Got it from ebay.it... this is the guy, always has nice stuff:

think i payed about £25.

friend in brighton (ginger ben) finally finished his brooklyn. i advised on some parts, came out awesome!!

...ace colour

This is seriously nice! Well done there.
Do you know that campy oldy has a good selection of old campag clinchers? Guess you won't be wanting to rebuild those wheels though. Plus, open pros will be much tougher.
But yes, one of the nicest i seen on here, definitely.

Must have been your advice Dale, that made it si awesome!

that brooklyn would be fucking lovely, if it wasn't in such gash colours.
