Current Projects chat and miscellany

yes, or like this...

No, that's my next project. A trick-shopping-trolley.

get a CX frame??

Will have to... damn it.

haters gonna hate.... braze that shit up!

can always hack them off again if you change your mind....

Come on - that rossman frame looks good.

The thing is that it's a late 70's/early 80's track frame, 531c with clearances for 27" tubs... meaning,
atm a 28c has loads of room there, I guess I could easily fit a 32c.
Then, 1) I probably won't ride it as a track bike, just because I got plenty to choose from. Can't justify building it.
2) To sell it means to deal with it being slaughtered with shite parts, and I got sorta attached to it... and it wouldn't be worth that much. Prolly enough for a CX frame.
3) If I do get the braze-ons on, at least Ed will have a week, maybe 2, of rest.

How dumb would it look/be, to have some brake mounts brazed onto this frame?
As in cantilevers mounts.

Two questions; 1) whats the max tyre clearances; and 2) why?

IMO if it can take 32cx tyres and you run some drops it'll look sweet. For some reason I really want a steamroller with canti's...so I get where you're coming from. But if you're just going to run 25/28c tyres its a bit pointless.

umhhh, they are sound reasons, better with mounts that store in the back of the wardrobe....

What size is the frame?

Yep, that's the line of thought.

just do it, at least the frame will be getting used and enjoyed....

rather than braze ons, doesn't anyone make clamp on/band on mounts?

Great! Just write a post and render mine useless why don't you.

What size is the frame?

TT - 57cm
CTC - 58cm

If you want to sell it and a commitment it won't be built up with shite, let me know. I'm looking for a track frame.

aforementioned big clearances not bother you though tv?

These are 28c
(sorry for the seatpost dumbness, but the ST needs reaming.

I say it's got schweet clearances. Well, no HS there.
this is it atm.

My daily commute

Still got a couple more bits to do.

Oh...wow.

did you just go there and put it together to demonstrate to us now? heh

and i was talking to nuknow

"This photo was taken on December 9, 2010 using a Nikon Coolpix S8000."

it has got sweet clearances indeed!

~~anyway, Dimension Linear pull brake mount. Vertical distance from mounting bolt to brake stud adjusts from 108 - 117mm: Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Leisure

not in stock there, but would be cheaper and more straightforward if you can find some...~~

noticed it isn't drilled.

If I get those^, then yes, you can call me ALEd

sell it to tv and buy a frame fit for the purpose with the proceeds.
