Crosseur, Traitor (was Pimpetamine)

Makes sense, looking forward to seeing it together.

Where did you get the parts from?

I bought an sst long travel gyro lover cable on ebay.
the small screw on cable lock nipple thing is from on of these:
It's got 2 screws though so I hope it will be strong enough...

If it fails you've got the other brake lever anyway if I understand correctly?

exactly.

I have a bit more stuff now:


I'm slightly scared to use this now though. will rotate it and tighten it very lightly and pray a bit.

It actually looks like all there's left is a cog. and some paint, sticker, wheel truing, and cable doubler work.

I'd be more concerned about using that spider's web as a disc brake ;-)

I'm very light. and slow, so not that worried.

btw; who knows about some headset spacers with an outer diameter around 31mm? standard seems to be 34mm

I've used some old Hope and Middleburn spacers that seemed a bit smaller than others that I've used. I can check them for you in the morning.

that would be ace. thanks.

Sorry, both the Hope and Middleburn are 34mm.

They only appeared thinner relative to the others, which are 36mm.

Know anybody with a lathe?

ok, thanks.

not really. maybe I should just go for Ti.

tastyyyyyy

^^ You decided to go for newspaper headset spacers then?

I suppose they're light :-/

yup. and if you look closely you'll see a super low stack masking tape headset. a bit sticky, but weighs next to nothing. and all diy of course.

You've got the logos upside down ;-)

nonono, they're not. they are just in danish. it might look a bit odd to you, but that's just normal.

tastyyyyyy

thanks a lot. I honestly think this is the best looking pompetamine though that doesn't mean a whole lot.

I think he means the Yorkshire rose but IMO if it pisses of a Yorkshireman you're doing it right ;)

I think it was a joke.

I was going to sell my Boardman, but there would appear to be zero interest in it, so inspired by your Pompetamine I may paint it white and rebuild it instead.

do it. it's a good look. especially when covered in mud.

I just ordered the Retroshift levers with 10 speed shifters, will run (therefore) a 105 rear mech, unsure about single ring up front or a double.

Anyway, I'm hoping the Retroshift levers will give good results with (yet to be purchased) MTB BB7.

When do you think your's will be finished?

within this month, I think.
I've got everything bar a sprocket, but need to do some work. and I work really slow.

I weighed those Hope Floating rotors, and the V-Twin BTW.

95g/unit for the rotors and 430 for the whole V-Twin- hoses, unit, fixings etc.

So a total system weight of 620g, fact fans.
