Current Projects chat and miscellany

You're smaller than me if i remember right.
I ride 40s on the rode and they're still wider than my shoulders. Might go to 38s.

True say, but I have the scatto bars (37cm) for proper track use, wanted to get a 40 but didn't want to change my current step up on my 'canyon.com' gave me so stuck with 42 ;)

Never CX'd before, and it's vertical dropouts so gonna be geared/SS with a singleator...
Could be good fun, I reckon.

Sore fingers

If it rides ok I've saved myself £80 :)

Very poor photograph, forgive me. Changed the stem to my -6, the -17 is now on the track bars, so a bit higher at the front for commuting, then for (so far theoretical) track use nice and low.

Rotors looking hot.

whats the problem solver like? anygood?

Works perfectly, equal braking from either lever when used individually, and for shits and giggles you can pull the brake half on with one lever, then take the tension with the other (if you see what I mean).

Very nicely made, also- and they included the part required to run it one lever/two brakes, which I hadn't expected.

Overall: better than using an old biro spring to stop my left hand lever flapping.

Very nice bike, very nice indeed. Can't help wishing for black saddle and tape though, and for the win of course no brakes, even it was just for the shoot.

How did I miss those Rotors earlier? Must have just been because they were facing the wall. Huge changes afoot here too:

Huge thanks to Dammit for those. Now classy (almost) completely European bike can be ridden with classy European shoes.

The rims and Rotors are quite frankly rude!

Paselas

Nothing major yet, sadly. Saving it for sunnier days.

Nailed it, would love to ride this,

can old forks designed for a 95mm O.L.D be stretched to use a 100mm axle wheel?

Yes.

Yes.
OK, cheers.

Looking good, but still want to see it with black saddle and tape... Would it be worth taping with black or somehow otherwise disguising the gyro thingy?

And a gold chain.

Any good sub 2kg fixed here sets out there for under £200 I know there are a fair few sitting just over 2kg but are there any under?
