@Nahguavkire did you buy it off that japanese geezer's blogspot? the one with about 1000 frames?

http://njs-keirin.blogspot.com/ ?

Nope, buying it from Krisz and picking it up this weekend all going according to plan!!

Fancy buying a frame from this guy for myself in a while though, maybe get a custom Ocean!

Parts stash for the Steve Goff when it arrives...

Paul crankset
Campag Centaur BB
Dura ace high flange hubs
Hope headset
Thomson X4 Stem
Paul Crosstop lever
1/2 link chain
EAI sprockets (2 of, one normal gearing, one silly trick gearing)
Black Deep Vs
Bikehut risers for tricks (£2:50, oh yes)

Still need to pick up my bullhorns from a friend for normal riding duties.

Can't wait to build it up! :)

nice lever

^ ;)

^ haha those bikehut risers finish off the haul of pricey bling very nicely...

Tell me about it! I'll wrap over the logos with bartape anyways, for vanities sake. And they'll only be used for when I'm playing about.

It's taken a week but I pick up my Eddie Merckx Peugeot px10 tonight!!! ahhhhhh! (*little bit off wee came out)

this frame should be turning up tomorow!

You know what you must do..... YouTube - Tandem Wheelie

what bullhorns you going for?
is this stuf for that black lo-pro there was a drawing of?

Profile airwings I think they're called. And yes it's for the black lo-pro.

Well it's actually going to be black with a glitter clear-coat :)

nice.
that drawing reminded me a bit of my new bike.. apart from the funky seat stays.
good job i didn't get mine in black!

i'm not a fan of the profile airwings though, i had the niito pursuit bars for a while, but they killed my wrists.
ened up chopping and flopping some drops for my perfect bullhorns.

nice. i really like paul componants, alough im not sure on the cranks. they look very nice, but i think id rather get DA as im not keen on the proprietary chain rings. im going to use paul brakes+levers, hubs, and dropouts on my next build.

if they ever release a crank with non proprietary rings ill be buying one up as soon as i have the moolah.

yeah... i wanted the paul cranks, but didn't like the chainring too.
went for powder coated Miche in the end.

It was suggested they'd make a bolt on spider adapter for these cranks to take normal rings. Never seen anything though...

grrrrrrrr......

i've used chops and flops, airwings and other bulls. IMHO Syntace Stratos are the best, they ahve a little backsweep on the flat section which makes holding the tops comfortable and you can get them in various different drops.

Necessity? Did something happen to the Pista? Nice to see a step-through conversion; they seem to have been ostracized of late. Very pretty bike.

handlebars now a little shorter!

JOL I know that I bought your boss's bike which is very similar but I gave it to my wee mum. She loves it.

happy days. By the way I don't spend all my time casually building bikes, this was a necessity build...

Jammy - brakes and a non machined rim?

Also, don't forget to take the stickers off the Velocitys

a few changes...

• Phil Wood hubs
  
• Mavic Open Pro rims
  
• DT Competition spokes
  
• Phil Wood 17t sprocket
  
• Gebhardt 46t chainring (polished up)
  
• KMC D101 'Devil' chain
  
• Nitto 65 seatpost
  
• Brooks Swallow saddle
  
• Raleigh trekking bars
  
• Toshi leather bar tape
  
• Hope bar end plugs :)
  

Looks cool as usual!

How comfy are those bars? Started seeing them around but didn't think they'd be practical on fixed. Looked good for cruising and/or coaster brake like ed's gf's bike.

ditch the stem, get a pearl on there.......:)

yeh too many conflicting angles up front imo, but lovely otherwise.

nah, my pearl feels too high with these bars. it looks funny in elevation but not from other angles, i assure you. the bars have been a revelation. i usually ride with my hands near the middle as usual but the full upright outside position is a lot of fun for croozin' round the place..

just built myself up this today from parts kicking around in my garage, from parts that my dad left me.
:)
thinking a smaller cog on the back though, 16 instead of a 20.
just need to tape the bars as well now

This has been a right pain to strip everything was really stuck tight still can't get the front brake out I may have to replace the forks,I may go for a carbon blade or a chrome to keep it retro.

Going to paint shop tomorrow here are some of the parts I have collected so far,going to hit it with some dura ace.Wheels are Bianchi from my modern bike
