Current Projects chat and miscellany

^thats both a beauty and a bargain (according to the Ebay thread price I assume you got it for?)

Malaysian, if you don't get on with it and that Regal is a) proper perforated leather rather than a printed pattern and b) has round rails, then I'll take it off your hands for good dolla.

get some of those bars tom, you wont regret it.

Yeap. Proper bargain. Felt bad actually, the seller was an old timer who had moved into a flat so only had room for 2 bikes, Had a good chat to him, think he was glad it was going to a good home.

Regal, yes it is, brass rails and all, funnily enough you were my first thought when I was checking it out. Will see how I get on with it then let you know.

Jack, I might go to all terrain tomorrow and pick some up, if they have them in stock...

You could try some rhinoceros dribble though. Its one of the best release agents known to man

As is rocking horse shit

Many thanks. :)

New commutertron.

I like, needs MOAR deep forks innit ;-)

pleasantly surprised to find the forks are full carbon, so they're staying
will buy that stem off you if tom doesn't need it though!

I've text him, the same offer will apply to you if he passes on it ;-)

Question... For the Dolan, keep the Gators, or stick on the 28c paselas I've got kicking about?

Just finished my L'Eroica bike a while ago. Apologies for the multiple pics, I'm quite the proud parent :)

^Very nice.

Yes, very handsome.

36H 2-cross on the front wheel - interesting - was that the done thing 'back in the day'?

They warrantied loads of them when they snapped. All subsequent generations had an alloy steerer.

Very lol still can do the build with the spirit of Italy I guess.

That reminds me of a coffee shop that described its cappuccinos as 'imbued with the spirit of Italy'. Was never tempted to try one.

@ Apolloxl - Cheers for that, will get some ordered right away.

@ Laner - I'm just finishing up a '08 or '09 Omnium at the mo, awaiting new camera lead and will post pics. Be interested to see how yours turns out. They are lovely frames.

not sure the age of my frameset

Bloody well hope mine don't snap... ulp!

^^That was the last year.

Owen snapped his

owen could snap anything. will keep a close eye on them, and not jump off any curbs.

I like light stuff, but I'd change them due to being a big cowardy custard.

I've replaced my teeth once already.
