Current Projects chat and miscellany

I was unlocking my bike when I took that photo!

Ha ha, and then thought; 'this would make a fantastic picture, let me just get out my camera'. Nonsense.

hah, I already sold more than half the component on that bike to fund the next project, hence the picture (that and wasting the last couple shot on my camera).

Despite the 'edscoble posting pictures of his bianchi' joke. I miss (and genuinely really like) your pictures and think that you should go back to posting them at for any excuse.

actually I didn't post a lots of photo because my frame has yet to arrived from Bob Jackson, it's all a waiting games.

ahhh only a matter of time. Are you using the components off your bianchi?

so are you riding the missues' bike now ?

it look like the same amount of setback frankly, the charge one is straight until to the top where the clamp is set back further, the Miche one gradually curve up to the clamp.

if I were you, just get the seatpost only, nothing else, there's nothing worse than living on little when you already spend half your loan on bike stuff! don't make the same mistake as me, I end up eating rices for the next 4 weeks due to spending too much on useless stuff.

as for the colour - my old bike should give you some idea;

Ed, you know I fucking love that bike. Silver and black are THE BEST. I might just throw the Miche on and then buy new cranks/chainring. That'd be alright. I really want new forks, that'd be illin'. Any ideas (apart from Suginos) for black cranks? I'm going to go look for new forks now, oh joy!

I have been there so many times. A low point was eating slices of cheese with marmite on it, as that was all I had. For like 3 days. Bleak, but I'd prefer to have spent it on bike bling and physical stuff than on booze.

I just got of that stupid rear riveted chainring off my pug! thanks strip my mind for telling me how. It took a 10mm drill as the 8 wasn't fat enough and I didn't have a 9!

My Ride:

Waterford F-22. [SIZE=-1][FONT=Trebuchet MS]It's made with a custom mix of True Temper OX Platinum tubes. The fork is a matching chromoly fork. It's standard 56cm track geometry.

Cranks/BB: Sugino 75 - 170mm / Sugino BB
Chain Ring: Sugino 75 48T
Seat Post: [/FONT][/SIZE]Nitto NJS P27
Stem: Nitto Jaguar (pictured is a 110mm, now it's 80mm)
Headset: King Gripnut
Bars: Nitto B123AA (pictured, now I'm running some 30mm risers. I'm always changing it out between these two)
Wheels: Mavic Elipse
Chain: Izumi Model-V Super Toughness

significant changes not pictured:
Seat: some crap is pictured, now I'm running a San Selle Marco Regal Ti
Pedals: Was running Shimano SPD, now i'm running MKS Custom Nuevo with MKS Double straps, etc...

thats about it! Sorry for the crap picture! Color is deep deep red with a gold sparkle in the light. Cranks, Stem, Post, Chain and Cog are all gold to match!

hey jersey, that is nice.

if you wanted 165 sugino 75's let me know, i might be wanting to swap for 170s.

OK forumengers, I've been slowly but surely converting my OTP Charge for a while now and I'm pretty happy with it. However, my student loan arrives in the next few days and I'm kind of at a loss on what to waste it on. I've hit a brick wall in terms of spending money on shit I don't need.
I'm thinking a Miche Supertype seatpost, so that my Brooks will look EVEN MORE OUT OF PLACE. I know, don't tell me.
Sorry it's not driveside (almost all the drivetrain stuff is stock Charge), and sorry about the slack chain.
So what else do people think would look good? Silver/Black hopefully. I am totally aware that this is a really cuntish post and makes me mad-crazy fakenger but I need some ideas.

Also, I know you can't see it but does anyone know what manufacturer the white sprockets with cut outs in them are from? I've seen them in the cabinet in BLB (and on my rear wheel) but I'm non the wiser to what they are?

Blow it on a chainset, not a seat post.

What are the bars please?

Nice spoke cards Mechamorgan - where did you get them?

Nes, the lady who organises all the I Bike Mcr events and such in Manchester printed the "Hipster" and "Fakenger" ones, if those are the ones you need.

ASM, they're Profile Airwings. I got 'em from Fiddy
I probably will get cranks as well as a new seatpost. I want a new stem too!

O rly? I have profile airwings, but they look like they have a shallower drop.

you can get a black miche crankset from Condor, it's a Condor branded one that's quite light and completely black (without the big Miche Advance logo too, including the crank arm too unlike the colour in picture), cost £100 I think.

Didn't go to Souths then Ed?

I did actually, left at half 8 thought.

i can vouch for that.

New bars on the SlowPro... Just to make me ride with no hands even more ;)

edit: For some reason the photos are non-driveside... sorry.

Old setup (flop´n´chop Cinilli with a stem that dosnt want to go very far into the fork):

New setup (actually the original bars the bike was dumpstered with):

Yeah, I googled them just now and I think they must do 2 levels of drop, if you see what I mean. Mine are the deeper ones, obviously. They're alright.

bloody nice hans.
bloody nice!

Spend the cash on a nicer saddle for the style of bike!

Just added the brake from my broken Rourkie as I've had a couple of scary incidents following both my girlfriend and my housemate, who both ride erratically. I still haven't used it though and will probably take it off again.

This is my finished 'proper' bike. I say 'proper' because my Brian Rourke is like a child's toy.

Wifey's Caprice in the background, as rebuilt and restored by moi.

that is lovely Mr.Whizz

I especially enjoy the chroming on the head tube lugs and chain stay.. Simple yet effective

seriously I don't even understand how I can steal your thunder, that bob jackson is fucking lust!
