Fixed Super Light Super Safe

^Truss you to come out with that...

This is exactly what i was thinking of when i first saw that photo on the page before. Sad. Great minds think alike tho eh?

Damn engineer injokes...

proto hipsters. they were into triangles, before they were cool.

have your deda dabars turned up yet Iain? wouldn't mind a gander as I was thinking of them for my new build when I get my monies innit.

wait... 177.5mm ?! surely 165mm would be lighter, and also track cranks over road?

Bars arrived!!! Again, lighter than expected at 167.4g!!!

all the kit so far

There are no track cranks that will come close to this weight even though its a road (actually MBT) cranks.

And 177.5mm i think is wrong. Its not that long.

broken

Si, can you see what that is?

All I got is a red X in a grey box

it's the image repeated 20x on this page...

broken

it ain't broke, it just lacks duct tape ...

Two rules get you through life: If it's stuck and it's not supposed to be, WD-40 it. If it's not stuck and it's supposed to be, duct tape it :)

I was thinking 'can I justify this as a pratt truss and make a lol moment at CB's expense'.

Mainly because I'm jealous of his project.

Are these cranks really nearly 180mm? You realise that will make them harder to spin?

You should read this:

given Iain's proclivity towards polo gearing that shouldn't be too much of an issue.

I regularly switch from 165s to 175s and don't notice the change. don't get many miles in though, so take that with a pinch of salt.

I predict >>>>anti>>>>>classified

Actually, if you see any of my bikes, most could easily be anti based on the parts I add...

I will not be placing these on the classifieds.

In other ideas... As this is a 130 BCD, I was thinking of using a small chainring and a small cog to save weight:-)

really? I find the jump from 172.5 to 165 pretty noticeable
