Bike Mielec

Copied quite well by the looks of it...

Check out that shortened URL win right there.

Thats so good!!

do they also ride alike?!

pretty nice that mielec with the ISP. Not digging the carbon weave on the forks or the hubs, but personal preferences. Looks like a nice ride! Hope my sscx mielec turns out as good.

clearances?

^^^looks bang on

Alpina track forks are easily drill able. We are a lot of guys in Copenhagen/Denmark who ride with drilled Alpina Track forks. I drilled mine myself, but had a mechanical engineer to guide me through. It wasn´t really a problem though. There´s even one guy who drilled with handheld akku drill (dont know the right english word for that).

portable drill!

Fuck, now i have a Micheal Jackson earworm...

Cause this is driller, driller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
You know it's driller, driller night

Reported.

Haha found a pic matching my earworm

The image of a rapey feline Michael Jackson is going to haunt my nightmares forever. Thanks.

i'm sorry, will you sue me for emotional pain?

portable drill!

Hand drill maybe.

OK I have an issue. In my infinite wisdom I decided against IHS (for reasons of cost more than anything, and i wanted sparkles, which I didn't get!)
Anyway, I'm having huge problems finding a reasonable non IHS Carbon fork.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Ta

Did i ask a stupid question or are you all beavering away looking for suitable forks?

Am I wrong in thinking that a non IHS headtube does not necessarily exclude the use of an IHS fork?

This is what Mechamorgan told me, however after looking again, many fork manufacturers specify IHS....
Cheers MV.. helping a lot.

Alpinas look good to me!

I'd take fork manufacturers suggestions with a bit of a pinch of salt.

It might be a bit of trial and error finding a fork and headset that are compatible (in the sense that they don't rub and bind) so I'd try and find examples of forks/headsets that work together.

pretty much all lows are standard headset and alpinas

they by fraction fatter than headtubes, aren't they?

Thanks dudes.
Was thinking Alpinas, Tifosi (a bit dull) or The Columbus thron Air.

B0N0R's Alpina build is by far the best combo so far IMO - dunno why you wouldn't go for Aplina's based on look/cost.

I've got rid of the logos now too so they looks even better

Has anyone actually ridden the things..?

No one rides bikes anymore.
