Current Projects chat and miscellany

Not sure how far to chop the forks yet so still messing with combos thats why it,s in current projects,ie it,s a project not finished.

Ah, I see. You don't wanna cut the forks though, the steerer on the other hand.....

Why does your track crank have a funny looking smaller chainring inside the big one? is it so you can run two chains on your fixy (sic)

:)

I might just cut the forks i like living on the edge.LOL

Just bought this frame, going for a low pro (taste of the summer?)

/attachments/10220

that is a nice looking frame, only one more 'nice looking frame' post to go and i'll be out of the nursary so i can start asking some really stupid questions.

what kind of questions?
i've allways wandered why My Little Pony's are so little.

Just swapped frames with Cuppa T who some of you may know as he lived in London for a wee while last year.

Still waiting for a pivotal seatpost and the fork may get changed to a straighter one with no brake mounts but i like how light this fork is (lighter than the original Genesis carbon wrap fork)

And as my dad hasn't used this since he got it repainted at Bob J and chose to replace the headset and wheels with cheap crap im taking on as a little project,

I think the slo-pro is finally complete...it now has the new bars, grips, and detailing on the cranks and stem.
Apart from switching to my grey Atacs when i get them back i think it's complete...and i bloody love it too :)

is that a crack or left over bog at the back of the headtube at the top?

@mechanical Vandal what camera do you use ?

that flying scot is magic. MV your pix hurt my eyes tho'! (or do i need glasses)

What do you think?

Bike i am building for a mate - Genesis Flyer, just been given a gunmetal metalflake by the fine chaps at Armourtex, pictures dont do this paintjob justice.

How much did it end up with the metalflake?

D3, those pix were taken using 50mm f1.4 d lens. Why

Probably went a bit ott with the shallow dof there.

just wondering :)

Looks good scott, is it 700 front now? I tried that and it looked like a chopper, but I was using old fork with loads of rake.

Yeah 700 fork off my old track bike...still looks like a chopper...hence 'slo-pro'...but that's just what i was after....and a higher BB.

have you got a full side shot of that yet, scott?

not now it's fully done....tonight maybe.

£70

got the BJ back, don't think it needs lug lining after all. sorry for crappy phone pics.

properly chuffed, considering the state it was in before

nice one! glad you opted for a pro job?

This is mine,

It is only a pug, but it should look quite nice. Be building on friday.

I think you should look into changing those tyres too; they look properly dog at the moment....
