Current Projects chat and miscellany

Pistanator is the reason I went straight.

Here are some crap pics of my Peugeot for dmc + skully.
Sorry for the weird angle - it is hanging on my wall!

that it exactly the same frame as mine and in the same lovely clashing colours, do you know where they came from (i suspect ex-track hire bikes)? Mine appears to flex a little under hard pedaling, do you have the same problem prov?

I meant to post this earlier.

Awsome looking bike Em. I see the doors still arnt up yet.

that's a spicy tofu ball! lovely.

I'll find out tomorrow!
I saw yours, the fork crown looks different. Does it have the same fastback seatstays?

HOLEY TYNAN@S GADS!
You will be fast... fast and loose... But mainly fast.

Nice Look Em.

Prav - respray? or keep as is ?

New Campag Pista cranks and BB and she's ready for HH tomorrow! :D

Very nice Joe.

Goodluck with that seatpost Em!
fuck chopping that down.... i was nervous enough doing my carbon steerer that gets hidden by the stem... let alone a seatpost that everyone could see my (not so) handywork!

it should be nice when it's done!..... you gonna start coming on some longer weekend jaunts?

Look have it covered. They give you a aluminium machined cutting guide.

thats nice of them.

Great looking bike Prav. Luv fastback stays. You at HH tomorrow?

Object, you've got some hot bikes. Take your time and build it right.

Lovely Mercian Joe. Can't wait to see it up close at the velodrome.

Fiddys for those FSAs they are sooo sweet!

Some nice projects posted this morning.

Love the Mercian Joe.

@emilie - nice frame. But please not the FSA chainset, go for the Campag one, it's a masterpiece!

I'm really not a fan of the campag one, It's the marbled carbon effect. Looks cheap as sin in my opinion.

I really wanted to run Tune cranks but as Scott pointed out they'd look plain wrong on this frame.

Fair enough. I'm sure it'll be eminently lustworthy when you're done.

Cheers Andy.

Looking lovely! What rims be they?

Joe's got Jalco 27"s on there, he stripped the ano off and, strangely, decided not to preserve the stickers.

I'll be using to a (destickered) lo pro Jalco front on my Path, Joe, no dis intended. I can;t be arsed to strip it though, looks like too much hard work.

Yesterday I found out Dave at Colourtech hadn't been getting my emails. He's already lacquered my frame, before decals had arrived. It's gonna look like a toffee apple once the third coat goes on.

stripping the ano off, what you use for that? sandpaper and elbow grease or is there some chemical?

^Theres a thread JOL started on polishing rims / alloy .
Oven cleaner or caustic soda (careful!)

So why 27s? To keep it period? What's wrong with 700s?

maybe because the frame was originally design to have 27s? I admitted I don't know how much difference it make but I do know how different a car handle if the original wheel (says, 16") were replaced by an 17" wheel.

700c = fuck-off clearances and pedal strike issues
