Current Projects chat and miscellany

reckon i can use the 8 speed brifters on a 7 speed freewheel as spacing meant pretty much compatible,least till i make up mind about making a 8 wheelset, and finished drilling stay bridge caliper hole on alan, mudguards en route, so should be on road this week

Nice, that.

Dood, silver Thomson seatpost is definitely in order. Would say black stem but silver post would tie in with the hubs nicely!

What are the wheels?

You buy the mechanism from Ritchey and pay a licence fee.

The system is used by quite a lot of builders - see here for an example: http://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=162108

Always!

Yeah you can, just set the derailleur limit and you're set.

last proper roll on the kaffenback today before getting discs set up this week. the lovely view from the top of exedown. stuck it on the big ring about 1 second before pulling over just to maintain my imaginary strong man rep

cheers, do you think i could swap 7 speed freewheel for an 8 on current hub?

8-speed needs 130mm OLN hub, 7-speed fits on 126mm OLN

to be sure, 8 speed is freewheel, not cassette, will check hub size

Dura ace hubs, chinese carbon rims.

any idea how much on top it adds? I've recently got a quote from a builder for the same thing of 200eur but he was going to do his own thing .. my thinking is rather than paying 24.7% duty which is about £350 extra + shipping I'd just buy tickets to murica for a holiday; get the frame there; build; ride; pack and take back with me ..

Have you checked ebay?

Yes I have; there is nothing in UK/EU

Looking smart

Anyone recommendations for carbon straight disc forks that is non tapered? thinking about getting the genesis disc day one and probably want to modify it asap.

Wound-Up...

This weekend the JYD got new tyres courtesy of @BareNecessities

I'm supposed to build the new wheels, get a new chaining and brakes but it rides so well as is I'm questioning wether its still worth the money doing these things.

It's a bit silly but really good fun to ride.

Looks like megalolz fun.

Few ongoing projects, sorry for the poor ass pictures

Fucking love Pista concepts!

I'm very ready for epping

Cheers, wasn't sure what the budget for local custom was, so thought I'd just throw that out there assuming import duties and taxes would be factored in.
