taking the piss ain't ya?

wayne, this is pretty damn close to what you've got!

my shoulders are tired just by looking at that

and what cunt did this?

I built this up to take to nyc cost less than £200,
I think i might swap the cranks out for some shitty black rpm ones

Nice cock! :P

i know it's all supposed to be undesirable for tealeaves, but these look pretty good and about 15sheets more than the RPMs

Jesus wept! WTF!?
Saddle angle, brakes on a non machined front rim, gold rims(that always look wank whatever you put them on), angle of the bars, too much steerer, moody rear light.............wrong, wrong, wrong!

oi! i got one of those "moody rear lights"

oi! i got one of those "moody rear lights"

loads of us have!

it's useful for stopping cars hitting me up the bum on the way back from the pub at night,in the dark.

it's also good for running it's own batteries down when it switches it's self on in my bag.

I like my gold rims thank you very much!!

yeah, it's a great light, other than thefuckingstupid button. which you rightly said, has a habbit of getting knocked in the bag, resulting in flat feckin' batteries when you need it most.
*note to self...must design some sorta cover for the end!

I like my gold rims thank you very much!!

Good for you, put a pic up, see what others think? Sorry but gold doesn't work on bikes unless it's just the frame and everything else is black - like that Condor that was released earlier this year

Just bought this

doesn't look like a project I know, but it will be. All the pink must go (red look delta's or a selle flight anyone?), and thread the steering for a start.

Seeing what 'i am jammygit' got for his 240 quid, I am now thinking I paid WAAAAYY to much for it. (which I already knew)

The wheels are worth a couple quid. For sale???

depends what you paid, Guy?

but it looks like a decent track bike, the wheels are nice, looks tidy.

nice bike, i love those pista wheels :)

Well, it is all brand new, couple of Manchester session and thats it, so think brand new prices, but I will tell you at the track day, it won't hurt so much then. Columbus Neuron (that stuff any good), Campag Pista cranks and BB (plus a new spare), Pista wheels (obviously) with unused conti tempo's, and hopefully a pair of old sonderklasse if he can find them.

About new price of everything divided by 2.

Nice bike. Columbus Neuron was on first introduced in the mid-90s I think. It's very good stuff, one of their top end tubesets.

Ha! It IS the same one.. I'm sure I've seen it on Bayswater rd once. They worked for Courier Systems! hehehe

Apologies for crap pic, it's shy and hiding behind a pole!
Pub/Beater bike almost finished. Need to source a back brake (running it SS) and hairspray the grips. Also not to sure about the stem.
Couldn't resist to take it out in the sun today, as just got the Crank and BB sorted.

...

dick HED? :)

Nice looking bit of kit gizmond, DEFO keep the wheels, BUT should you choose to sell them.........:-)

Those Campagnolo Pista's are rich man's wheels...which explains why they are lacking from my bike at present...they'd seriously drive up the price though!!

What is it with people buying lo-pros and then running a quill stem at full extension...why not go the whole fucking hog and fit some bar ends pointing backwards and point the brake levers so far up in the air that you have to break your wrists to use them....then you'll have that full on 'clueless dad borrowing his sons mountain bike' look dialled!

Seriously...if your lo-pro is THAT uncomfortably low that you feel it necessary to have a stem like a fucking periscope why not just ride a normal frame?...or is it THAT important to be down wit tha yoots that you'd rather ride a cross between a time trial bike and a falcon ATB from the kays catalogue?

I have a project on teh go, and I'm getting really excited, but don;t want to reveal anything about it, which is annoying me....
furthermore I have tonnes of stuff that MUST leave my parents house, including a bike that I love dearly. If any of you can read into this and wish to make a query, please do. It has to go, and I'm very upset about it.

what is it ......im interested.
