Current Projects chat and miscellany

luke you NEED that

agreed :)

Moved to a fizik antares. Nicer than the SLR, touch wider at the nose.

I'm all about the skinny nose. usellzSLR?

If you want a naked one then yeah I can sell. Got a few of them.

after a covered one preferably.

Otley down there

I snapped this one for you, nice 45-50 miles over cow and calf and round past Bolton Abbey...

I admit though gears are desirable at times....

I wouldn't bother, just run it out from under the tape

@andytk - ok that is what I will do.

Probably not most forumengers cup of tea... but here's my current project in it's beginnings:

Fun times ahead!

^wicked

c'mon folks someone buy my DH/Freeride frame

Pedals are temporary and I'm aware it's the shittiest cabling job ever. I still need to make it shift properly rather than just be at least ridable but it'll have to wait for a few days.

Also I forgot to buy new brake pads and I really need to do that, road bikes are confusing enough to me anyway and this one doesn't really stop.

looks great, love the cheeky pink cables

Just bought this. Stronglight cranks. Nitto bars/stem. shimano rx100 brakes. dura ace shifters. mavic rims. shimano hubs. SJS 59cm tange cr mo frameset. NOS turbo saddle. aero seatpost. continental tyres. all brand new. Seems a good buy for 150 quid! ;)

That Cotic looks nice. Plans for build?

^^ good work, that looks great.

^^^ drop or change post asap

Probably not most forumengers cup of tea...

It'll do for me :-)

Bought this but haven't paid yet, seemed a good price, but trying to work out what model it is.

It's definitely a 72, so if it's in as good condition as he says it is the price is aiiight.

me?

Yeh. And good point made above re the seatpost. It'll have a min insertion mark to prevent you killing your new frame.

finished up the ottadini. not one for the brand purists but I like it.

Nice bike, but take a link out of the chain, so you can tension it properly. Also the levers are quite high on the bars.

Finished a budget bike for a (small) friend of mine, sub 200 euro's.
Specs:

• Gazelle Formula Race 54 square
  
• Shimano 600 Tricolore group
  
• Cinelli XA / Rose Attack
  
• New Tyres, bartape, brake pads, chain and cassette, bottle cages
  
• Cheap seatpost / Cheapish Selle Italia Saddle
  
  

Quite decent build in my eyes, crappy photo's though.

Coloured cables +1

Yeah I like that pink. No point getting sensible cables when you're blessed with a paint job like that.
