Current Projects chat and miscellany

I assumed you'd left the knife/rope in the picture as a cry for help.

(and politely ignored it)

thats lurvly Tommmmmm.

My rat bike!

Deleted the thread as I prefer just to stick a photo up in this thread once in a while.

I've changed it round quite a bit but super happy with the ride, very comfortable position. I've adjusted the saddle a few MM at a time, same with the stem and it really feels great how it is now. Got a new chainset coming in the post from a friend, plus new bottom bracket.

I ride this bike for miles each day so I know how every part performs, which makes it easier for testing new parts.

What isn't comfy about track drops!?

Just how huge your cupboards is to fit a bicycle? I can barely find room between the five spice and the john west tuna.

My flat has a cupboard which fits:

• bike x2
  
• wheelsets x2
  
• disc wheel
  
• parts boxes
  
• rollers
  
• turbo
  
• buckets x2
  
• toolbox
  
  
  

It's pretty awesome.

You see, the wardrobe fits almost exactly that stuff as well. I just have to keep my suits at the office. And shirts.

I have another cupboard for jackets and hoover and all that shit... and a huge wardrobe in bedroom. Going out with an architect has it's benefits. They know how to storage.

In other news, a small pile of stuff is gathering in the corner of my studio..

I have a cupboard at home which easily takes 4 bikes (my Cerveli, the Hetchins and Cycliste's Roberts), and various boxes of bike components. It's quite a big cupboard, mind you. It even has its own window, light and light switch. In fact, it even has its own cupboard. But that's full of crap.

Dat Rourke. What's the ETA on getting it built?
You obviously don't live on a postage stamp, unlike me.

^^ I think the word you are searching for is 'shed' :-)

I'm hoping to build it this coming weekend. I'm currently riding my BMC to work everyday over London's famous potholes on my fancy wheels - I feel that I am pushing my luck.

Everything except the following has either arrived, or is on its way:

• mudguards
  
• tyres
  
• brakes
  

I would start a thread, but it's not really much of a project.. more of a "I bought a bunch of stuff and it will be a bike soon" type-thing.

What's the plan for wheels?

Have been offered some Dura Ace to ceramic Open Pro's for a good price. Picking up tomorrow hopefully.

What brake pads are you going to use? the one I have at the moment is quite terrible.

Dan, I take it there's been no word from the rozzers about the Canyon?

Enjoying my brooklyn set up like this on my holiday, still haven't bothered to get the bloody levers aligned.

have you considered a bike fit?

No, not since my last one.

Have you considered a bike that fits?

Looks rad Indra!

Have you considered a bike that fits?

Yes, this one.

Looks rad Indra!

Cheers, it's a dream to ride.

I love that colour, it looks great. My only grind is that seat post.
