Current Projects chat and miscellany

Final bits bought for Croix de Fer build. Just waiting for the hubs to arrive from Taiwan...

Never spent this much on a build before. Total spend of bought bits came to around £1000, but after selling some bits total outlay was £350 so not too painful. Thank fuck for credit cards.

Probikekit are doing £30 off £250 + £5 back in cashback which made it easier.
Code is PBK201530

you need to format your cells as currencies... ;)

Ha ha. Changed it now. Included the 'weight' column as well. Total weight is apparently 9700g all in, with rough guesses at seatpost, stem etc.. And including 700g of 6750 cranks.

Not too bad, and £700 and a full kg less than a Croix de Fer 30.

Frame was well over stated weight but will lose a bit when I cut down the forks. HY RDs feel like they're forged from cast iron. 200g a piece + rotors. Ach.

hed disc arrived, as did pursuit bars and san marco concor sprint, picked up my pearl off dom-nice guy, so threw it together

pursuit bars make this look much more look like it should, campa SR pista chain ring would be the icing !

edit: pelten shade, white to yellow……think about it !

Are front discs the in thing for East London skidder kids now?

Nice work: stick a decent shot in Paint Porn.

Well they have 68mm BB shells so chainline is whatever your chainset and hubs agree on.

im from south, the only other guy i know who runs a front 650 disc is also from south, you no like?

Is @JSSR logging in as @Havis again?

Just wildly impractical, which is pretty HHSB I suppose.

you got pm

Just put this together for the flatter club 10s this year. Got a good deal on the DF3 without wheels, it came fitted with a Miche Primato crank but had a swap around with the Omnium from my other bike, Wheels from FarSport, Columbus Tusk so I can put a brake on it and 25mm Michelin Pro4 tubs - they look massive on the 23mm rims. Needs a bit of buttoning up and position finding.

any tips on whom in London's befamed London (or UK) could fix the stay tips on this? was outside a long time and have weathered, and cracked


I have a machinist friend in N.L., an option I considered was to try to un bond from caps from stay and send / bring to him to make replacements, fuck knows how I'd unbond though tbh

I think you'd have to drill and file out the end caps before fitting new ones. I can't imagine whatever they've used to bond the end caps in place will give up that easily.

that's what I feared, having to drill or even ream
i think the margin for error is too great for these processes, as could split the top of stay tubes, i have another alan that kindly donated it's cable guides to my alan/colnago carbitubo , the headtube lug on donor alan had split, i had been advised it could be unbonded, where this one in hand was left outside, the corroded caps will probably prove difficult to unbond

also , drilling and filling would make very awkward to get inside stay diameter/full length of caps i'z thinking

maybe doomed to be a wall piece (

said carbitubo mono

comedy stem/bar combo, has da 7400/1 stem and group, was holding out fer da bars and sp in right size (26.2) hard to find so may complete with nitto bars and superbe pro sp

also
only one in this decor i'z seen
