Current Projects chat and miscellany

First pic I found on Google images to illustrate my sometimes poor wording ..

I'm not sure what the seatpost is. Its very similar to a Campagnolo one, but most of the engraving has worn off. Its 27. something. Its off another bike, and I bought a similar campy one thinking the Colnago needed a 27.2 seatpost, but I couldn't get it in without force. This one slid in perfectly!

That rule for lever placement is bollox. Not all levers are the same length, not all bars have the same drop and not everyone likes the hoods at the same angle.

Personally I'd bring the levers on the Colnago up a fair bit, and tilt the bars c'clockwise just a little.

Levers up, stem down, position maintained, bosh.

what bartape is on your cannondale dammit?

I followed that rule when setting up my Rourke

Dos angles?

Rogan Y u no understand small sizing?

That looks like it could be on a par with the LOW// in the Slaves thread...

Alpina wing pista. Full carbon inc. steerer

Built this up tonight. This is the first track frame I ever bought and it has been built up many, many different ways (it even had an Aerospoke at one stage). It was drilled for front and rear brakes when I bought it. I'm running it fixed, but after 5 or so years on brakeless track bikes, I wanted a fixed gear with brakes. Pretty much everything is parts bin, or was on the bike.

It just needs some new tape (it's old Fizik from my CX bike) and another top tube cable clip.

Rogan Y u no understand small sizing?

smaller frame does not necessary mean you need to have a very slack angle, unless requested.

No but I'm sure in most it would unless you requested for it not to.

It looks a funny angle because its a lo pro without a back wheel (in the pic)

Very nice the Whitehorn, nead a better picture !

^^You should definitely bring it out for the ride on the 20th

hummm

No but I'm sure in most it would unless you requested for it not to.

you're wrong.

^^ Monsieur, with Geliano you are really spoiling us.

I wanted to make a joke westerday with what saddle to choose for that TTGeliano but a bug with that funny picture disappeared...

Before the end of this week one of my bike will go to Bike Porn or I eat my Brooklyn hat
