Current Projects chat and miscellany

would something else be a better option overall? Is it all just going to suck?

Mini-V would be better, but all rim brakes will suck compared with discs.

do swisstop blues not protect ceramic rim coatings?

that front basket is a bit big isnt it?

That's a big basket on the front

^^ ha

great minds....

Looking for some 1" threaded 240mm straight fork, any one got any ideas?

Anyone ever rattle canned rims? Current wheels are green which is fucking nasty.

Don't know if it's worth my time doing it properly, sanding off the original finish, then a few coats and clear coat.

Or just rattle can it and just hope to fuck that it stays.

I painted the wheels on my bianchi pista with Montana Black graffiti paint a couple months ago. Sanded them down, masked them and did about three fine coats. The breaking surface obviously rubbed off, but no cracks dings or chips to speak of yet.

is was thinking of these bars

but prefer drops

I nead this:

i had one, ask trent black maybe.

Finished building up the lady's crosser - quite green, no?

Quite nice, too

Did you build up the wheels Howard, or can you get Stans Iron Cross in pre-built hoops now?

Edit - actually they're not hope hubs are they.

Built them up - or rather Arup did. Hubs be novatec.

That looks really nice Howard, what brakes are you using?

(Catz and bikez thread)

Sorry for the amateur photography, also don't really have nice blank canvas to photograph against. Should hopefully take it for its maiden ride later on today, then will sort out any build issues.

Hopefully can get in on a scale at some stage and weigh it.

^ Very nice!

The bike is alright too ;)

The cat's ok, but needs a drive side photo.

Finished building up the lady's crosser - quite green, no?

So much want.

Bloody cheap on PBK right now too.

I'd pretty much build it up exactly like that.

The cat needs a few more PSI in it.

Obligitory 'slack cat' comment.
