Current Projects chat and miscellany

Tester, while I have your attention, could you advise on compatibility between 105 5600 and Tiagra 4600? I'm assuming, for instance, a Tiagra long cage 4600 mech would work fine with 5603 STIs?

I've been reading around a little and have seen mention of pull ratios. I'm a little confused as to what will work with what...

Shimano 10-speed road rear derailleurs and shifters are interoperable across all groupsets.

Can not believe you sold your trixie for that....

You got it wrong.
I can only have one bike at the moment. This one's under the table, so counts as 1/2. And it's the bestest bike I've ever owned. Seriously.

Even current/5700?

Good to know, thanks :)

Yes, they've dicked about with brake (and possibly FD) pull ratios, but road RDs have been safe from Shimano tomfoolery for now. I expect they'll fuck it all up again when they go to 11-speed.

Finished late yesterday arvo... will get better pics

Too many nice bikes, tooooo many =))

Non hipster shot for you ^^^

Hopefully one more soon Scorch.....

yes =)) appreciate both! keep em coming

btw are those tubs or clinchers on pogliaghi? if clinchers, what are they? talking about the rims. thanks

They are Clinchers.... Araya CTL-370's

I wanted a low profile Clincher rim and these are perfect laced to Campy Low flange hubs

New roady project begins

Loving that Pogliaghi.

I don't normally like those cranks on anything, but that frame is so nice it even makes the cranks look good! ;)

excuse me, you don't like Campagnolo Super Record Pista non-fluted version, the Holy Grail of all vintage cranks? may i ask, why?..

^ Think they look kinda ugly.
Sorry (I'm lying) if this upsets your delicate disposition!

Think they look kinda ugly

no

new bits. just need to tape the bars up for saturday

Nice Pogliaghi Dubrat! You certainly appear to have a shitload of nice bikes.

OOI, are they mainly keepers (if so, group shot please) or you sell them on for new projects? Either way, nice to see and YES those unfluted Campag Pista's are pornworthy! Only ever found a scratched pair and had to send them back to seller, but if i found a nice pair it would make me build a bike around them, for sure.

Todays setup for a sanctioned race in strong headwind (bought the stem from _tester) - 3 fix 80 derailleur bikes - this setup ended top 20 and fastest fix

Won't you crack the seatpost on some point? Looks dangerously few inserted.. Epic drop too.. Have any photo's of you riding it?

I'll find a pic from today - you are right, too little insert.

Do you have a seatpost retardation disorder or something??

yes i'm a frog ; )
