Current Projects chat and miscellany

My concern is the size of U Lock that goes in that slot.

Anyone got a silver quill to 1" ahead stem adapter that I could buy?

Yep pm me or look at my most recent sale thread

I've just bought some Gore Ride-On Professional brake cables. Hopefully make the braking smoother on my road bike.

I need to pick a set o these up too. Any deals about?

v2.0 of project Porteur Rack - The Return Of Drillium

Awesome! Something Mad Max about it: "You don't have to get out of my way, but I will fuck you up..."

apollo has a beater one

apollo has a beater one

it's 1 1/8" you numpty

well then I got one

Brakes are squeeling like an Apalachian pig currently, hopefully that'll stop soon.

Gearshift is very good- nice and crisp, although it is shifting under load on it's own in one gear currently, but that just needs slight adjustment.

Anyone got a SRAM band on front mech kicking around? The skinnier size...

Nearly new 31.8mm Rival here, with Aluminium bolts to bring it down to 95g. I should have the stock steel bolts somewhere too.

^^^ Go on Dammit. You know you want to...

As I mentioned earlier on in the thread, I bought Donut!'s old Interpro from bmx_fred a couple weeks ago. It was mostly an impulse buy but I'd always loved that frame.

I quickly gathered up some parts and today the postie delivered the final bits (cheers TM)! I threw it together with Apollo this afternoon:

:)

That's stunning. Lo profile rims look much better than the deep ones I had on it.

Lovely colour combo on that frame. Euclid going on this? :)

Looks like Dura-Ace Special Grease.

Don't know if it stains paintwork. A normal degreaser should get rid of it.

This is not the same stuf as Shimano (Dura Ace) grease you can buy nowadays.
This hi quality stuf was bought at AGIP.
If you want it now and relatively cheap, search for AGIP Autol Top 2000

dammit made me want a crosser

Just a pair of non-aero brake levers and my 2nd retro crosser is ready (besides the 3 alu frames bikes I already had).
A man cannot have too many CX bikes.

Definitely a fan of CX builds since building up a Croix de Fer (I realise it's not a true CX'er but it's close enough).

I need to pick a set o these up too. Any deals about?

I couldn't find any. Wiggle is the cheapest but they only have white outer cables. I ended up paying a tenner more to have black outers off ebay.

A picture to tempt the final donations!

See the spreadsheet: http://bit.ly/YuPb75

but the parts still needed for the Langster are:

Black saddle (Concor?)
Tyres (Gatorskins?)
Front brake caliper (dual pivot, silver)

And for the Peugeot do you think drops/hoods or porteur bars with bar end levers?

Freecycle build coming along nicely, almost done collecting parts!

I've got a slightly used 25c black Zaffiro if you want?
Hopefully this should get ridden today:

whats with this hub?
I also got a silver brake caliper

I'll take the caliper, what is it?

Hold on to the hub mate, trying to source a matching rim, but I also have been offered a Planet X AL30 track wheelset for free too, so I'll let you know...

shimano something.

You still need a saddle Apollo? I've got an original Flite you can have?

black? yes!
