Current Projects chat and miscellany

I completely realise that having a dual set up at the front is utterly pointless, and the options of a rear brake or just a dummy lever are vastly easier and more appropriate....

but the pleasure of knowing that both levers do one brake, and pleasure of squeezing them and both working would be amazing (yes very geeky). I may contact the jtek engineering fella to see if he would be up for a bulk order. Would anyone else be interested if they work out not extortionate? xander?

Jtek ones are £40 from SJS. I'm on the cusp of ordering two.

oooooh, off I go to the sjs website.

the problem solver splitter is not designed for both brake levers to be pulled at the same time. I am not sure if it is the same with the double control S jtek splitter but I'd be interested to know if someone can find out. I'd be interested in a bulk order if it's cheaper than the sjs price

JTek one also not designed for both levers to be pulled simultaneously.

Look like you've ate Jackson Pollock and shat it all over the bike.

Pollock's geometric brother

Maybe that's what the builder had in mind?

Needs woundups, tape and deep crabonzzzzzz then would be pronnny.....

mmm some more thought needed on the splitter.

In other news I've just gone and bought wood for some child seats in the trike. It's only been a year in the waiting, but I may finally finish this project! Hopefully they'll be some cutting and screwing happening this weekend and I'll post some photos.

My first real track frame is on it's way from eBay land. A 60's Sid Mottram (built by Mercian). I'm planning an economical build and may go down the ratty route, depending on the condition of the paint work.

:p

Wound Up forks ≠ Insta-porn

Fucking hell Chris, you've discovered how to communicated with the mean of smiley, I simply cannot wait till you're old enough to start writing in actual sentence.

Ah grim, think I left lfgss logged in.

Wound Up forks ≠ Insta-porn

aye, but I reckon that frame is crazy luckin enough to benefit from them...

woah

^I'm not feeling that.

what about this?

^Delicious!

I reckon a Hed3 would look pretty good with the setup I've got now though...

Bolted stuff up before. Campagnolo record track bottom bracket & pista chainset.

Trying to work out what i need to get my pina build on the go, and the integrated headset is confusing the hell out of me. Could someone possibly tell me what i already have, and what i need from these photos?

The top of the headtube:

and the bottom:

I've been looking at diagrams but i still cant work it out..

And i'm also at a loss as to where to get a seatpost clamp from?

I've been trawling the internet for any similar frames and so far haven't found anything. The gb team used very similar frames (jambon bought one from them http://www.pedalroom.com/p/pinarello-pista-2156_13.jpg) but the seat-tubes on them wasn't aero and didn't have a cut-out for the wheel. I also found a scandium frame that appears to be the same tubing (with the cut-out) but minus the carbon seat stays http://www.flickr.com/photos/60018206@N02/6334827766/.

Mystery frame is a mystery.

it didn't come with a bolt?

Nope. Considering contacting pinarello about it.
