Current Projects chat and miscellany

Woot. New steed.

I like the sound of gold campag.

normal cork bartape (any cheap shit), then apply cloth tape on top.

classic look without classic comfort, but personally like it without the cork tape underneath it.

also agree on gumwall too.

Thank you for this! I'm gonna give that a try, I think it's pretty durable to.

I think you mean 'it's pretty durable two'.

Couple of projects I finished quite recently. First one is a Team Miyata from '84 with DA 7500 groupset.

brother! love the original chainset, and also, are you not sticking the seatpost a bit too much out in terms of frame's security?

Scorch deffo wants to sell me his Bridgestone :P he told me

you know, where I come from, if you talk to someone, and they don't respond back, it's consider quite rude... especially if they go blabbing about it afterwards

;)

just in case anybody wants to sell me a singular peregrine 54cm, PM me (just saying...)

Woot. New steed.

and it comes with portable tailwind, I see. nice.

Need bigger portable tailwind. That thing won't keep me cool enough.

cant see any onion in that picture..

;)

Shit man! Sorry. :'(

for the laughs, man, no issue
but you know it anyway right?

Portable tailwind :-D

I'm gonna sort out my track bike once and for all and reader's wives it in the porn thread. It was looking mighty fine right up until I put the decals and bar tape on and made it look somehow... fiddly. Any suggestions?:

You're really not far off, I don't think.

I'd be tempted by yellow decals, black contact points and gum walls.

also

Oh and if with brakes...

^this

I think it'd look great with road drops and nice levers. But then that's just my pref.

Looks pretty damn nice as is

^^That apart from dat helmet...

just remove the brake and its mint, doesnt need much work.
please dont put road hoods on it this frame, its too nice:)

All-white decals and black bar tape, and maybe gumwalls. Thanks guys.

Anyone wanna buy some tyres?

What are they?

Needs a 52 or 53 Campag ring, that one is too small (aesthetically)

48-50t is normal for the track isn't it?

I think that's that's the look super's going for.

Need to fiddle with the gearing/tensioner and might swap for a flatbar. And eventually I'll throw on some nice gumwalls.

48-50t is normal for the track isn't it?

I think that's that's the look super's going for.

for a pro in a sprint i'd say normal is more towards 53-13
at herne hill maybe 50-15 is pretty average
