Current Projects chat and miscellany

My eyes!

Spotter - That Jose Alvare and the Orlowski are indeed rad and very tasty, well done that man, oh and the other two as well, but if I had to choose...(!) ;)

my frame have a 75 degree seattube.

a thomson in-line is coming soon, gaston-style.

This is something I've only just realized played such a big factor in working out bike ride set up with even .5deg less or more seat tube angle (I know, slow on the uptake!). Well made point.

Turned the eddy merckx shopper into a proper road bike. Ninja gaston seat post shot. The flite is as far forward as possible

And that finishes off this mornings catch up quite nicely! Good to hear the Merckx is back in its intended form! ;P
Any side on views for drive side?

What's the stem on the beater Gaston ?

I was talking out my ass; the bike looks great.

Thanks man,if the rain holds off long enough i'll drag out some more recently finished and throw the pics up :)

Spotter repped for owning rad bikes.

Nice gear cable routing on Gaston's 'Dale.

FFS!

readview, wow.. Just wow.. The Gazelle is just, Super.. Really well done! Wishbones galore!

Readview, that Gazelle is wonderful, something different in comparison to the standard Mondial's, especially with the AX group on it!

A non finished drive side yes

Got it sorted then I see. Your position looks almost the same as my bike. Possibly a little longer, you'll find your knees clashing with forks/bars. I have to put my knees in between my bars.

^^^^ thanks guys,much appreciated,if anyone has a spare plastic cap for the expander bolt on the dyna techs ttt stem i'd like to buy it :)

Wow,and i thought my beater was high on the front end,is it built (like mine) to compensate for a dodgy back or just for the sheer hell of doing it.(would love to give it a whirl btw,never ridden anything like it ! )
beater voodoo ...

It's my "unsuitable bike" for this weekend's Clunker Classic DH/pissup in Porlock near Minehead.
There's nothing holding the lowers on at the moment apart from the fact that the tubes are further apart than the original stantions and I've removed the fork seals.

Weight distribution is still wheelietastic but the cockpit is like a short sit-up-and-beg.

How's yours looking, O'shane?

Anyone else with a silly bike is welcome to turn up. No Mtbs!

readview if you ever want to offload those Bombers hit me up.

emyr, do you not fear for your headtube?

The head angle is somewhere between 50 and 60 degrees. I read up on some motorbike chopper conversions and found that most of the forces at this angle will be in line with the fork legs.

The frame cost be £2.72 plus some train fare so I'm not too fussed if it breaks but maybe I should wear a facecage?

I swear i saw you in Walthamstow the other day well atleast the fixie.
I have a tapped up pinnacle gun metal frame fixed if ya saw it.

surely?

Oh wow I hadn't noticed that! One of the ugliest builds ever made.

Dilemma, Ti 120mm to match my seatpost, or pro chrome 100mm... (for the pink Dolan...)

I think I may go for the stretch with the Ti... as position is quite upright at the minute.

Comfort vs. Shexyness.
