Current Projects chat and miscellany

is that the Vision 1 you mounted on the forks?

Yep on an Exposure mount.

low = can see the shape on the road better.

looks good ed, why did you go with those levers in the end? also what is your rear light?

They are indeed, the Stratos 200. If you're looking for some, check out the german stores like http://www.bike24.com/1.php?content=8;navigation=1;product=290;page=1;menu=1000,4,133,31;mid=3;pgc=0

ah cheers they're so hard to get in Europe for some reason

Good bike that, Ed. Enjoy my compliments.

Good find. Rocking horse poo is easier to find in 26.0 diameter.

The shape is much more comfortable, a shame really as I liked non-aero levers for their maintenance, but the Dia Compe one simply wasn't comfortable at all, the transition from bar to levers was not smooth at all putting my hand in an awkward position.

Light & Motion Vis 180, great back light that doesn't blind people in the slightest despite being very bright.

They were fecking hard to find at first, but only the German sites were anything near decent price, with the euro exchange rate, its actually pretty cheap to pay the extra postage and have stuff shipped over!

The Omnium looks great AngelID, I like the how the black and silver parts are balanced out front and rear.

My current project: drink a can of beer so I can make a shim. Then I get to see if shimming a seatpost will kill me in the face.

Also I thought I had BMX pedals but turns out I don't, anyone got some I could pick up for cheap/beer/free?

Looks really nice like that AngelD, needs a black seatpost as appose to silver stem imo but think a silver stem would look pretty sweet.

Think i'm finally pretty happy with my bike atm, two most used members of the stable(pretty shit photo):

bulls and a brake going on tomorrow for a slightly longer ride

Bad photos and quick bar-tape wrap (till I get the position sorted, may need 1cm shorter stem), but I reckon red look pretty good.

Saw you and the lady friend? (assumption) in Putney over the weekend (Sunday?)- was walking but way too far for a DAS.

Looks great in the flesh.

Cheers, I was really trying not to go for what I felt would be a bit formulaic all black build on the white frame. Plus, with components like the Campy Vento wheel, DA 7600 cranks, and Nitto post, I wanted there to be a mix of modern and more "classic" parts. I'm pretty happy with it for now.

Good luck with avoid the death in face. 0_0

Thanks. That is one mean looking rat! Nice. Looks pretty bombproof too!

You did, went to Richmond to meet friends, then straight to Tooting for proper Indian.

Given how you look now, I'd be hard pressed to recognised you!

Rather instructive, I never know what to do with compliments.

Well the seatpost shim experiment was a resounding failure as it was way too small to start with, but then I managed to swap the saddle out on the old one (which was the problem) with the careful application of brute force and a big wrench. Anyway probably my raddest bike yet:

Still have multiple things to do, and I managed to create a couple more on the roughly 30 min ride home from getting it - I snapped the seatclamp lever, and bent the chainguard doing a skid with my foot on the back tire - but at least now I can do my shopping tomorrow.

Didn't you just powdercoat that?

what happened?

anyone got some track bolts for front wheel, 6mm allen with washer?

don't really want to use a QR...

Just got myself these
Cinelli via palm bars

I always read that ranges' name as cinelli vaj

peeling bottle labels like a wild thing

I read somewhere if you sent a photo to Colombus of a tired colombus sticker of theirs you'd get a new one? Anyone know the adress you send it to?

Not those exact ones, but I have a spare pair of better ones (bigger washers, countersunk bolts), similar to the ones on my T3 but black.

It isn't powdercoated just rattle canned and I didn't bother clearcoating it. DT scratches are just from my lock rubbing
