Current Projects chat and miscellany

just finished putting my "rat beater", yes yes it beats up rats so you suckers better hide! And pretty pleased.

Not the best photo, but best i could do with that weather. 53 to 18gearing FTW!, brakeless :)

I still think its screaming out deep v's to me....please prove me wrong Ed....

that like the biggest chainring ever, for the track i presume ?

Well, with 59 teeth it would be ideal for the track, but i'm just going for pure silliness with a 24t rear cog to give (roughly) 65 gear inches. Very silly.

where did you get your 24t?

I don't think i'll be starting any trend here...let's see!

Finally nearing completion of my iro, all a bit too black, going to change the seatpost to something silver, and maybe some silver risers.

very nice but leave the seatpost / bars alone!

go for the stealthy look.

Stealthy, with black glittery bars ;)

My new project, frame ordered but still to be built, seatpost on route.

As much campag as possible.

Looking good Guy. What frame are you getting to put all those lovely components on?

P.S. Anyone know where I can get some white vinyl tape like the tape on those bars?

Steve Goff custom build, to include the campag ends in the picture all nicely polished and chromed.

Its called Benotto Cello Tape, if that aids your search.

Tour De ville is selling that tape in a few colours at £7.
Else online at vincero lightweight cycles for a bigger selection.
EDIT - http://www.vincero-lightweight-cycles.com - also check this guys ebay seller page.

Nice!

Niice. Will you be up at Steve's workshop at all or you doing it all over the phone?

Thanks both. I know it's Benotto tape, just can't find any in white.

Will check out your recommendations Prav.

The soon to come project, CXP14 rims with Miche high flange polished hubs, should look seamless and minimalised.
