Current Projects chat and miscellany

my next project

just finished this...
"she's" not a new build (as you can see). She's a time trial bike that was used by Firmino Bernardino to win the Portuguese "tour". Two big chainrings... I also restored his stage bike. I showed "her" here some months ago.

Firmino Bernardino is more than 1,92m tall.

here you can see both bikes

very nice as usual

Loved it, but for the love of God stop referring to it as your wife!

Forks look odd, they obviously just changed the dropout of the TT fork to make a track fork with less offset.

that'struethough.

Unless they employ europeans in the factories over there as cheap labour

Forks look odd

exactly my first thought too

So love that; just info in a no nonsense sans serif, but I imagine a dark shade of something for the fork with the letters highlighted...
...whimpers contentedly.

So the Bruiser is ready for winter. (Just waiting on a rear mudguard)
