Current Projects chat and miscellany

was not really pleased with it and painted it in the blue which you see on the forks, was even worse so it had to go. maybe ill have another try sometimes...

there you go, now it looks even more shit.

yeah but now it looks shitty in a real ugly way. looked like someone tried to do it properly and failed before.

si si and i will

I'm heading to Alcudia with the road bike and gf last week of May, heard good things about cycling in the area. Never been myself, hoping on one of the days to ride to Deia and back, think it might be too far for the gf though will have to see...

I've got 3 projects:

Colnago Saronni full Campagnolo Super Record 58-59cm.

fondriest X-status 61cm. Most of parts are Campy record 8s (It's not my car, it's a pic of the ex-owner ;) )

Bardini Super 55cm, too small. Gonna sell the frame and find another frame to make my first fixed gear.

Decided to change the parts over from my Brother frame to the Gitane frame instead, so much nicer! Then i will turn the Brother into some sort of SS later on.

Temporary bars, stem and saddle. It will be finished at the end of the month

gorgeous bike that gitane, will look sick finished

Aim low: ACHIEVE EVERYTHING

Would any one be able to link me to a good seat post mounted bottle cage holder? just to hold 1 small bottle, would be very helpful!

I have been looking but not sure on what's good and what's flimsy

(a solution for putting it on the downtube).

or a hose clamp.

Thanks, that could work as i don't want it to be fairly easy to take off when i don't need it.

any personal experience with it?

hose clamps will scratch the fuck out of your paint if you don't wrap in innertube or tape first.

I use zip ties and a wrapping of innertube when needs be, does the job well.

any personal experience with it?

Placed on the underside of the top tube and stem when I and my companion rode to Morocco.

Held well, just the weakness is the cheap bottle cage rather.

yeah, just use cut bits of inner tube and you will be fine, you can get a firmer grip with two placed along the bottle holder.
plus they are easy to remove.

Useful advice, thanks.

Just don't really like the idea of wrapping up the frame in PVC tape or inner tube if i plan to take it off later, figure its easier to do that with something that bolts on to the seat tube, but either way i need to get hydrated, so what ever works!

are you wearing cycling wear at all?
most urban jackets have a backpocket, which is good for bottles
