Current Projects chat and miscellany

that annoys me massively about my concept... i was going to put some bigger tyres on, how big can you fit pistanator?

who's playing toby? love that venue.. i might pop down if it's someone good

t

Human Hair, The Hipshakes, Hank Haint amongst others. £5 I think.

Human Hair would be my pick: http://www.myspace.com/humanhairband

I'll be there, large camera in hand.

Well, I've got a carbon rim on the rear so the tyres need to be 120psi, so 23"

The MASH lot comfortably put 28"(Randonneur) on there

is that rigida dp-18?

nope, deepV me thinks

as far as i know its a deep v yeah! haha

no link with leeds then? wanna bring your bike up and meet the leeds fixed gear lot?

i imagine a few of us will be around there on sunday night

nice one... will see if i can find a randonneur then!

HED3s with brakes look wrong imo

Tend to agree, and I'll probably run the black deep v on the front most of the time, but love the hed too, and my desire for the hed to look right isn't enough for me to run no brakes...

Agree on living with the chain, but it would look great tighter!

Nope, based in Nottingham but girlfriend in Leeds. Normally bring my bike up for weekends, makes the 7am train easier to catch.

I'll be around from fri night I expect, leaving tuesday morning.

See you there. What did you think of Human Hair? My housemates other band (main band are Lovvers)

Lovvers are sick man!

You won't be able to get the rear wheel off unless you take the chain off using a chaintool, which of course is a pain in the arse everytime, trust me...
It's fine as it is

there's no need to break a chain to work with a wheel in the front of track ends. All you have to do is derail the chain from a tooth or two of the chainring, turn the crank, and the chain will come off the chainring and you have all the slack you need. The opposite process is used to remount the wheel.

Your chain's too slack then! I should know - I'm guilty of using this method. :p

i want that black phil

They are lush!

sadly not on the pista, it's very possible to get the wheels stuck in

sounds good to me, i will be there in sunday night with my good lady (i live nearby to leeds in harrogate)

Hey everyone!

Thought i'd stick a pic on here of my current half bike!

I had a charge plug which i just sold on that there ebay. It was nice, just a bit heavy and the mrs and i have a really, really small flat so somthing had to go.

Annyway, it's a cougar! Bought off ebay, it's Reynolds 753 and apparently it was "handbuilt by terry dolan". Now, i'm pretty sure that's bull shit, but still i like it. Yes those are road wheels and are having a Fixxer on the back so.. it'll be fixed. Truative Omnium crank and BB, Nitto Stem, Shite Shimano headset that came with it.

No bars or seat atm, thinking of going for san marco concor but no idea what bars.

If your in nottingham and see an ugly bloke pushing his bike along whilst holding the stem say hi.

That's a 700 x 20 tyre. Don't think i could get anything else in there as it was, i reckons, made for tubs. Also, it's designed for a 650 front, but i had one on and i didnt like it :-)

Right, i'm going to post in the welcome section,

Oli.

awesome frame, but you can't just put a 700c fork/wheel on there.

i mean you CAN... but you look like a total jackass because you are completely interfering with the geometry of the bike. it's really senseless.

ok i'll run along now.

my hipster machine,got some power straps to fit still

^ that hurts my eyes! not my cup of colour coordination but the more brightly coloured bikes on the road the better imo!

Oh, and get a white saddle and a silver stem...

Blue and green, should never be seen

oh well :)

Blue and green, should never be seen

But it matches the bed sheets FFS!

doesn't everyone co-ordinate their bikes to their bed linen.

how big can you fit pistanator?
i heard one fist and a coke bottle

that paddy waggon is a sin to all things that are good and great

• whats the point in the trick setup when your obviously not using it for tricks
  

Just waiting for some Ellis-Briggs transfers to arrive then it will be complete. I tried to make it quite understated.

Nice. Gold star for you.
Would look great with black cranks.
