Current Projects chat and miscellany

yeh i have a rolls but just find it uncomfortable and dont worry i will just google it

i like your take on chopped drops angle, why dont you leave it just like that?

^^get on with it man!

This is brilliant! And quite like my current project... what rack is that on the front?

its a cut down Basil and I used chain instead of the packet brackets to attach to handlebar, what you building?

Things to do, get an inline seatpost; ride it a lot.

its a beast. what happened to the bmc though?

spec plz...

its a beast. what happened to the bmc though?

it was slightly too large for me. Sold it.

Spec:
Unbranded carbon frame/forks from Taiwan's famous carbon mills;
Unbranded headset, seems to be alright;
Full Sram Rival groupset;
Ritchey 4axis carbon stem;
Ritchey WCS Logic 2 bars;
Shimano RS80 wheels/skewers;
Schwalbe Ultremo ZX tyres;
Specialized Romin Expert saddle;
Elite bottle cage;
Lizard Skin DSP bartape

I just managed to snap the bolt on the seatpost collar, cheap piece of shit, so it's getting a new one of them as well as an inline carbon seatpost asap.

Surely the only seatpost that will do... :)

Ha, a deda drittissimo wouldn't look out of place too.

I actually really want one of those!

forgot to put in the list, Lizard Skin DSP bartape, bloody comfy, really like it.

@Crow What kind of chain is that on the Rossin?

the s3x is still being built up - didn't have the right length spokes but in the mean time new 56t and 177.5mm ta cyclotourist for the brompton and i've polished up my unfluted cranks for the mercian - fun fun. polishing is way too much hard work for me to bother trying to get a mirror finish

Looks quite similar to Fade's. Intentional hero worship?

;-)

regina cx, might be lucky and get a NOS one, if you find some let me know :)

^^I actually can't buy a bike without sumo copying me!

Looks good though.

I prefer fade's :P

177.5mm ta cyclotourist!!

whoahs - no pedal strike?

inline carbon seatpost asap.

Buy my EC90, if you need 27.2

sumo what does the crabon weight in at?

Sumo, Fade and myself need to have a Taiwanese carbon weigh off. bet mine is lighter. smaller innit

Those planet x stickers may add a bit though...
