Current Projects chat and miscellany

Is it like a standard size thing? i could possible get one.

^^ is the steel insert and circlip still in place? it's just the aluminium adjuster you are missing?

^ from memory .. it's not standard size. it has a fine pitch thread and flats machined in the sides

That frame is delicious spotter

mega bargain too

I wonder if I can buy a fucked mech on ebay, the whole new barrel is about £10 which is stupid for such a small part

I have a smashed Shimano Tiagra RD.

You can have it to try the metal barrel

always in my white period here is the rough of my new project TT80's
I must identify the frame, but it is not easy.

Thank's retro_di_corsa

is that the MAX TT frame that was for sale on here?

Looks ace.

Here yes but not Max ; )

Spotter do you want this one?

My current project is...

...gathering exposure (likes & shares) for the facebook page I just created called Bikes of Steel

(it's in Dutch only for now, translation's on the way!)

My business as I hope it will turn out to be: building bikes (not frames) for people that want a personalised steel bike (a vintage or modern-ish racing bike, randonneur, singlespeed or fixed gear) instead of an off-the-peg one, for a fair price and with good service.

(I will probably continue to offer steel racing bikes and parts to the lfgss community too)

Oswold might be able to help me out, if not I may well take that off your hands. Thanks

Also, Gaston, where do you keep getting all these rad AIR frames from?!

He must've found some floating around.

Me too liked it peter, very nice. Tempted to drop by later but I won't make it to Tilburg before 1800. Need any help with webdesign for the website?

The air frame was sold here, cheap...

cheers!

it's not a real shop yet, working from home, aspire to grow into a physical business though... have to clean up the bike room too ;-)

can you pm me your details Machine? I have some options but I'm curious as to what you do

What does it mean ?

Bargain ?

Yes, very much so, thankfully it was too small for me so I can avoid the heartbrake.

Actually I have a question for you, my bike (as seen above) was made my Jose Alvarez, what little I could find on them suggested they were a french distributor. Have you got any knowledge of them?

Yup, I believe that's what he means.

Very very nice, I wondered about buying it but I'm glad you got it in the end - you'll make a much better job of than I would

Spotter, what do you want to know? I can translate that for you : http://www.josealvarez.info/lavie.html

I will not disappoint you with this build I swear
this is my inspiration but Modolo Kronos was from 83 I will stay in 1981max
