Any question answered...

Ridiculous. Custom frame and they still needed a big stack of spacers and a bent seat post to dial in the position.

I can *almost*live with the spacers, but the seat post, just looks wrong, wrong, wrong.

I want to see the person that's built for. And their split scrotum from balling that hip flask.

In the sense of not actually wanting to see the second bit.

Here he is:

And he also has this one:

Bottom one's a fake - you can see the joins.

Does that look fake to you?

Still seeing the joins...

what do u mean by fake then?

I don't believe he actually grew that for real. Smacks of welding 1/4 of another bike on top of the first one.

Pffffffffft.

tall bike...see a fella in Brighton, riding it really well - don't know what happens when he has to stop...I expect he hangs onto street furniture, but it seems a bit mad....................Bring back the Penny Farthing!

Aluminium is is welded with alternating current tig not normal direct current tig

Anyone have full access to Cambridge Books Online? And want to download a book and couple of chapters for me?

how do you not? Athens not working anymore?

Oxford doesn't seem to subscribe. Only to Cambridge Histories and Cambribe Companions.

is it super urgent?
cos you can usually get your department to sign up to it if its useful.

No. Not super urgent at all. I'm just at home and lazy and thought it'd be nice to be able to read them here, rather than the library.

Can you make aluminium welds as neat a steal ones, and how do they "fill" the joins on Alu frames, like Bianchi Pista Concepts?

I guess what I'm getting is, I have seen neat *joins *on alu frames, but they look to be smoothed and filled.

The only 'raw' *welds *I've seen are like this:

Where as you see steal and Ti welds like this:

So is it possible? Or does the composition of Alu make it such that you can't, hence why they usually fill them.

And what do they fill them with? - because it looks like alu.

Cheers.

On another note. If you wanted to buy a vinal record for someone who likes oldskool to 90s hip hop. What would you get?

Cheers again.

nas - illmatic

Definitely ^^

'O.C. - Word...Life' is a great album too.

^^^The Goats - Tricks Of The Shade (impossible to find though, but a stonker)

A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory

Del The Funky Homosapien - No Need For Alarm

The Pharcyde - Bizarre Ride To The Pharcyde

Cheers guys. All good suggestions. Especially Illmatic... but that's my bias.

Just youtubing O.C. and that sounds on point too. Plus they've got it in the store I was going to go to.

Only problem is the massive fail on managing my calendar. Oh well tis the season :0

De Niro or Pacino?

De Niro

Whoever wasn't in meet the fockers.

One more, non-moth related. Can someone who isn't me, preferably with a specialism in Shakespeare, come round and do my marking for me? I'll make the tea. I'm in WC1. Thanks in advance.

I'll do it. I mean, how Bard can it be?

Or does the composition of Alu make it such that you can't, hence why they usually fill them.

^This

The "stack of dimes" weld you pictured is a single pass weld. You can make smoother joints in aluminium with a two pass weld

but they still need filling or filing to get a truly smooth finish, just as fillet brazed steel joints do.
