Current Projects chat and miscellany

I am counter-scaling of sluices and digs or even make stomachs.

We need an 'I bin Gastoned' thread...

What ever happened to that cracked Olmo frame Crows bought? Did it get a repair?

ended up looking like this...

with a 3G ?

Even better.

Hot stuff!

I have changed the bottle cages and found a good wall, let's call it a day.

y not Look pedals?

I'm happy with the Time RXS, the cleats have rubber feets added so you don't slip when you need to walk a bit, contrary to what I keep reading here about the Look ones.

Bought a Chorus group for this a while ago so both my road bikes could run the same system.
Have been building it back up slowly this week, still need to tweak position before I wrap the bars, trim/finish the cable inners and sort the front mech indexing out.. was using my winter wheels on the S-Works, so whacked the deep sections on this for comedy effect:

I said it would take weeks, but here you go, my many-faced (or tortured) RIH in fixed gear mode:

Put it in HHSB mode just for today, not very comfortable, but those bars are killing my hands no matter what configuration of stem height and length. Oh, and vaguely Gastonesque saddle position on a suitably German Tune Starkes Stück (:

Rear part is still temp.

Looks nice but uncomfortable!

Flip the bars.
Go ahead, I dare you.

so.... if I like, wanted to change my pedals...muttering... Ahem, to road specific, whats good? o_0

Also, not too expensive. as I'd have to buy new shoes as well.

Could someone give me a round down of the "whats good" and why of the various systems?

Read the pedal threads*, but it's really between Keo and SPD-SL. Look are lighter, Shimano are a bit more durable and have a lower starting price point.

Ah, thanks for the history lesson.
Albatross bars are huge though, cheap cromo ones from Wald or Hsin Lung (the 3 speed-ish, smaller ones) would fit and look better.

+1 speedplay. They expensive though

Looking fresh. Who did the repair for you in the end?

What's wrong with Time RXS pedals ? I'm quite happy with them

Cool, thanks for that, got a better idea of things now.
