Glad you liked it

Built a thing

I need a full cockpit- so I'll pass on them, if thats OK and I haven;t misunderstood anything.
Also I wouldnt be able to pick them up for like a month...

Shimano does a similar series that has the 165mm option.

No worries

You're welcome. Yeh I did a random google search as I'd love to get a Racelite again for myself.
I think Lee has taken a position with Pashley Cycles so assuming you can't get to him through facebook/his website you could try Pashley (I'm not 100% on that but that's what I've been told). Hope the Racelite treats you well!

a quick test ride after welding the frame... just to see if it rides as I hope and to see if it's all working.
I'm very happy with it.
Now I must decide, with my friend, where to go... and than make the color and paint it

Are those Ksyrium SLS's? Love them so much, but can't justify the price tag :(

Alas no, just HHSB debadged Ellipses!

Your stable has fast become one of my favourite on the forum, how does it ride?!

Fair enough, you fooled me! Looks like a nice build though

Much obliged for honouring my dibs, but (as I told eyebrows) if you have someone on the hook, please reel them in!

I'll cash my "fuck those rings were cheep" chips in with a crispy AX front caliper pleez ta.

:) xx

PS La cuenta: bars & brako?

Thanks! It rides pretty nice, stiff but comfy, handles really well actually.

Anyone used this http://www.wiggle.com/jagwire-ripcord-mtb-brake-cable-kit/ ? Half the price of the Yokozuna etc. Can't say there's anything wrong with the standard cable outer I've been using, even with the weight of a kid on the back, but need new bar tape, and while it's off I fancy trying compressionless to see what all the fuss is about.

This is compressionless, cheaper and works well.

Nice one. But too short for f&r.

Any recommendations for a fixed gear disc brake frame, without cyclocross geo? They must exist...

I highly doubt you'll find an OTP track frame with disc tabs.

You could just put a road disc fork on a track frame, even if you managed to find a suitable frame I think only surly make hubs that'd fit both a lockring and disc.

Hmm thanks IR. Maybe front disc and rear caliper is the way to go.

they do but only in 130/135 spaced so no use for a track frame.

Just get a Natureboy Disc and be happy

Or if you insist get a custom mielec frame and a rychtarski max fork?

Any road disc frame and BB30.

Custom mielec and mack hubs, they definitely to a disc break hub with fixed on the other side

Novatec trials hubs, as used in Poland?

plenty of trials hubs around but they dont have lockring threads.. might do quite well with strong threadlock if there`s no plans for skidding around for fun without the brakes ?
eg.
