Current Projects chat and miscellany

^^^^^^ all 1", 1 1/8" is rare and expensive..

Can do better....

I'd love to. So sick but no way my budget (or girlfriend) will allow for £200 handlebars. Stem included or not.

also some people have milled out 1" to 1 1/8*
*not sure how safe this is

Working on this:

Pretty stoked on getting it dirty...

not safe at all, thin as it is.. :S

looks rad @Hulsroy, custom?

Looks so fun

Forks look like they have a massive A2C?

My thoughts

They are suspension corrected, but I'm not sure the frame is. Gonna be good for going down hill.

this is my current project, volare 953 w/6800. still deciding on wheels

Good with a long 490 a-c on a SSMTB project.

I'm suprised, I'd have thought they'd have used the same mould for both and then just reamed out the 1" to make the 1.125....

Same, I guess you'd need a look at both beside each other to be sure.

Pompino. Road forks. Mudguard eyelets. Carbon. 1 1/8.
Kinesis?
Anything else?

That appears to be non carbon.

They are carbon just with an aluminium crown and steerer tube.

The orange repelled my eyes from reading any text.

Nope, Surly Karate monkey. Will custom eventually.

yes 510 mm. It's mainly for bombing single track in the forrest so it will be fine. Got the forks cheap. I might buy shorter ones...

Anyone ever had sparks fly when removing a stuck post?

After mercian told me the frame was 39-47, rear clearly was about 54ish drop. Hunted about and the best performing brake with a 57mm drop seemed to be the r650 (supposedly ultegra). I heard load of reports of tektro rusting. Got a chrome rear on chain reaction for £24.99, the front chorus brake fits, so keeping that, took off the shimano marking etc so with the rack etc fitted shouldn't look to bad.
