Current Projects chat and miscellany

I love your bike, i think it needs to be in the Rat bike thread.

Nearly finished. excuse the seat angle and mismatched wheels, I broke my rear Mavic :(

853?

631*

What bars are you going for?

nitto b125 i rekon. any recommendations?

Love my B125's, good shout, what ratio are you running, looks a bit, dare I say it, small.

That stem is going to make that more twitchy than a twitchy thing...

Very clean build, and oscc.

thanks
I'm thinking of 44:16 / 44:15. I ordered the wrong chain ring, was meant to be a 46 tooth!
twitchy-ness isn't really a worry. my last bike was "twitchy" and I enjoyed it to an extent.

edit: oscc?

B125s sound good to me, should look really nice!

are much fiddling i've got my suntour power shifters

to work with the suntour stem mont

my touring bike is coming together nicely

I wouldn't run 44:16 unless it was an oldskool bmx!
but I do like the build.

Depends on the bars

Depends on the bars

Depends on whether it's being ridden or just receiving uninformed comment on teh internetz

I saw this posted on edition38 earlier....

Do you have the opposite stem on another bike?

Powder coated silver Thomson, no?

Ordered more parts for my GT build last night. Awaiting:

Shimano STI Levers 105 Blk 5603 Triple with cables
Shimano 10 Spd 5701 105 Chain
Shimano 10 Spd Tiagra 4600 Cassette 12-28
Shimano 105 (5603) 10 Spd Triple Front Gear 31.8mm
Deda Traforato Soft Touch Handlebar Tape Black

Also got a seat bolt from Whittle which arrived this morning. I need to consider wheels next. To keep costs down, I'm considering sharing a wheelset between my PX roadie and this. This means I may have bought a cassette for no reason, but knowing me, I'll probably get some 36 spoke wheels built up.

Powder coated silver Thomson, no?

I thought it was a black thomson stem with the silver clamp part from another stem. I can still see the logo which surely would have been powder coated over.

Yep, apologies C.B. you're right! It looked very (overly) glossy and couldnt see the logo on my phone earlier...

You are forgiven

Gawd bless ya, Guv!

Someone convince me why I shouldn't (or why I should) use Novatec hubs.

Going mental looking at all the different hubs in the world.
