Current Projects chat and miscellany

parts bin tourer. will be putting pannier racks on and using it as my every day bike and some light touring along the canal towpaths of Great Britain mid summer. its ratty but a smooth and solid ride.

As with all your work Luke - unique, practical and great looking...

Do you have loads of pairs of north roads & bra-end shifters, or just a few that get shifted between builds?

the pedals will go, they also weigh a ton. Having seatpost issues though the one that came with it seems to small. Would an 853 frame have a non 27.2 seat tube?

Thanks James. Someone else asked me that today........Lots of northroad bars and lots of bar-end shifters. i think i have hit on what works for me. so anytime i see a set of shifters and bars at a decent price i snap them up......

I'd assumed as much! Love that Baron though, still my favourite from your stable

must be horrible in headwinds? looks nice though

Is that Zinn's bike?

It's one of his creation, but not sure if it's his.

Dibs frame. Please?
Non original forks though?
I may have some Flat Crown De Rosa forks spare actually if you're interested...

I have them too, thanks anyway!
May guess they're original ones:

Lithuanian track cyclist Vasilijus Špundovas (around 1986)

Same forks here

And different ones here

Mine doesn't have that sharp aero shape though.

Damn..any spare Colnago Pista forks?

Always wanted a De Rosa...

So this thing is fuckin' nuts. Polished 1995 F1000.
38/16 is a little low for me but it can wait.

One day ill find some blue headshok fattys, yeti grips and magura racelines, and ride around dealing futuristic drugs.

Rad

Back before i resprayed the Spok and Became overcome by the HHsB movement

Thunder stolen by your shit bike. Rage

Gears for Queers

And who made you HHSB overlord?

I think that position is already occupied

Lennard Zinn's an example of trying to get the geometry right for those who's over average height;

Is this an example of a well fitting bike for a tall person?

P.S - skrtluv your bikes are all shit, all of them. Sorry mate.

Liking that a lot!
Always wondered how my '99 Volvo CAAD3 would look SS'd. Even had an HS33 on the back (since sold to fund Pomp).
Forks on mine are Fatty Rs, I think they're amazing.
That thing looks like a lot of fun.

A school mate of mine in the latter half of the 90's was riding pretty much the exact bike you describe. A polished hardtail frame in a big size (well before the dual slalom/jump bikes came out), forks were often rigid, brakes were magura (his only sponsor) and he would ride that shit in DH competitions.
