Here's my latest project http://dontgointothelight.blogspot.com/ Have a look it's legit!

love the colour

Thanks, better than anticipated!

Latest project. My titanium road frame, badged as a Ciclos Uno, after many memorable miles with campag 9-speed, has become fixed gear. Picked up a white industries ENO wheel already built (thanks Catboy1981) which put the project on the fast track. Velocity fusion not my first choice of rim but there it is. Cometh the hour and all that. Mavic Ksyrium up front.

Its not intended for tooling around town (got a beater for that) but for putting in some road miles. Hence the brake and stuff. It will fail on loads of other stuff too like braze-ons but its for riding not posing so I'm not bothered about all that.

Its not set up fully yet, I'm still tweaking stuff. The stem and bars are ugly in my view and while this in itself is not a good enough reason to change them, they don't feel quite right. Which is weird cos I've done thousands of miles on it set up just like this but with gears. So no bar tape just yet. I might try a shorter stem and more classic drops.

Apart from that, I'm liking it.

nice build, you dont want to sell the campag 9 speed that came off it do you?

nice build marcola! Love the toilet roll stand. Stylish and functional.

Sweet, that's pretty similar to mine. Great minds... and all that.

Get some grips for the tops of those drops though.

:)

This is my effort just waiting for my Dura ace headset and a pair of Champs.

looks top mate, but those tyres wont stay white for long !

I meant to post this earlier.

Sweet! Looking forward to seeing it finished!

Cheers dude, it's going to be a couple of months yet, perfectly timed for summer though I suppose.

this is my pub bike i am building up..nothing fancy and currently cost me next to nothing..

i like that adscan, but you'll need a seat and a drivetrain.

getting there super, getting there

Already looking like loads of fun. It's bikes like that that remind me why I started riding fixed.

If your trying to keep things cheap you can always whack some road cranks on an just dish the wheel with a spoke tool, and add spacers on the axle.

Post up pics when it's done.

adscan that rules, thrash that bike.

what stem is that adscan? think i'm in the market for something similar.

it's either an azonic mtb stem or a copy of one. circa 1998.

Mick, look here.

be lucky.

cheers superprecise. that was quick but i'm definitely in the market for a silver one. what length is yours adscan? looks like a 50mm

it is 50mm. got it in halfords clearance bin for £3.
