Something b'aint be right

Dame Edna & Penelope Keith on the telebox

variation on the normal flop and chop bars, very happy with the results. going to run this ultimate rat on suicide 27" cheapo ebay wheels, with a 52/20 ratio + front brake... first fixed set up to beat about on before I build my dream track bike. just need a cheap 25mm ish seatpost, and apparently some french threaded pedals (anyone had problems with stronglight TS cranks?) and Im done.

did I spot you riding past East Dulwich train station this morning? About 9.30-45 ish?

well spotted as i wizzed to work.

The bikes in a stand- so at a slight downward angle.

Which is pretty similar to velox cloth tape.

Tape round the post? You tart.

Needs end plugs if it's going to ridden/crashed from the pub.

I really really like this particularly having risers over a flat bar. It makes me want a new bike.

Just to be boring:

With Open Pro's, 7.69kg
With Crabon, 6.77kg
With 'puter (or real weight) 6.85kg

So, 50g to shave off and I'll have it bang on 6.8kg.

Only visually. Hockey tape has an incredibly sticky outer surface.

plus it costs like 3 euros for a roll that will last for like 6-8 bars.

beautiful.

not *that *sticky... a little. Does get worse when it's hot though. Ice hockey in Malaysia was a pretty sticky experience....

As soon as I saw it, I thought that's Helsinki.

I've spent far too much time in Finland.

Second this, not super sticky but sticky enough to give you a bit more grip.

Ice hockey in Malaysia? Sunway Pyramid?
