Current Projects chat and miscellany

here's a great little rat bike i made for my mate a couple of weeks ago.

And here's my mate, taking his first fixed ride. Yes there is a little bit of 'little daddy wayne'
about him.

my mate lives in no. 11!

So finally my beater is done!
kind of scary to ride but I´ll get used to it.

My bianchi is going throu a litte facelift as well.
Still looking for a white backwheel.
Stem with more drop, white riser and toshistraps.

Nice quiver of bikes in the making there Boon

My Pre Cursa built up 2 weeks ago. 7.2 kg and very quick...

that look rather straightforward, track or street intended?

@lukeyb i've met them 2 guys and a girl i think, med students? nice guys. Edit thats no.9 i'm tlaking about.
he was only brakeless for a few goes round the block, left the bike with me til i could get an old long drop for him. He loves it although he wants "new bars and a new stawky bit" ha!

It is used on the road only.

Here's my mate. Yes, there is a little bit of big_daddy_wayne in him.

I don't believe a word of it. Take it back, or I'll fight you.

Wayne doesn't roll like that.

....Cough....

;)

Got the frame back from Vaz today.... not long now :)

Why go for a stem with more drop when you got 3cm
of spacers to remove?!??!

Turn the stem upside down?

7.2 kilo? wow, congratulations
is that alu frame then?

shall i put my zipp on it?

That looks like a fun ride!

Yes, alu frame with carbon/alu fork. Moved from a Steamroller frame to this which is very much disproving the alu harsh/steel comfy argument. It is easily as comfortable as the Steamroller (ridden 4 30 mile rides on it so far) it just accelerates and climbs much better as it is very stiff.

Don't underestimate the rotational weight that a valve cap adds at 3 grams!

No, not to save weight, I just don't see the point of them.
