ha!

what are the double straps out of interest?

Look at the size of that ring!!!? Why?

Done....

59/24 FTW!

Ha ha ha! That drivetrain looks sick

Looks nice though, how does she ride?

Hehe, i know. Why? Because i could...no other reason, sparks a bit of debate!!

Yeah, rides real nice, super nippy!

Alex, that looks great! It's not the Cooper that was in the shop last week - is it?

Hey, cheers Kam, i'm super pleased with it! And yeah, it is the one that was in the shop last week, just switched a few parts round.

I was admiring it with Tom. Certainly looks different now!

Yeah, rides real nice, super nippy!

Racist

Yeah, sorry...i need to put a cap on my casual racism. Now everyone knows.

@ Forms and Phasergunalex - Two lovely projects, well done.

Having seen Forms' bike in the flesh and having a little spin I can verify that it is a beast!

Mercians weren't built with A head stems in mind

lol. Mercian built mine with a head in mind! :)

Hey forms, saw you're Mercian when you were in cavendish with it t'other day...does look nice, quite different to most other Merican builds i've seen; super stealth like!
Do have to agree, Thomson seatpost (or summat glos black) would finish real nice!

Cheers dude! Your bike is looking fressssh. Wouldn't want to race you!

Hehe, well i'd still be spinning away....59/24 gives around 66 gear inches!

And more skid patches than you can shake that stick at. One advantage of that combination using large ring/sprocket

Thought that sprocket looked pretty big but i still thought it would make up to more than that. I'd kick your arse in a race! :)

alex that looks fucking immense! in every sense of the word.

i also saw your raleigh hanging up in the shop t'other week... also immense.

Phaser, that bike is supreme, always wanted to ride with black deep Vs... unfortunately I don't ride breakeless and the machined surface just looks turd!

Here's the Kona Humu I built for my girlfriend, finished it the other week. Its also a pretty nifty dog runner.

You do realise that the biggest advantage you got with the gearing is that you'll get 24 skid patches?
