IR's multiple build thread.

Glad I have 1st dibs on Pendle :)

selling it yet?

Definitely not.

This sale is still pendling.

Update:

I currently only have the orlowski and the brooklyn built up. I want to have a good build on the pendle by july. I'm thinking compact drops and a black tig welded stem, campag pista cranks* and LF phil woods to tb14's as suggested before.

This will be my summer project.

Next on the list is a budget SSCX bike for the winter.

Then I'll start compiling parts for an adult bike when I qualify for that next summer.

yay for planning.

*Possibly gonna end up going for FC 7600 or sugino 75 as I do have a BB and chainring for those already.

Ditch orlowski, buy road bike. Planned for you

(-:

I considered it because it's just such a stupid and pointless bike but I rode it to cambridge the other day and it was such a laugh, that bike always makes me smile because it's surprisingly rideable and definitely the raddest bike I've owned.

Do you go to Cambridge every other day Indra?

In reality it was last week...

I'm going to do it again pretty soon though, it's a perfect route for an easy sunday ride.

True, you seem to love it to bits. I'd join you if my knees would stop being twats.

what exactly is wrong with your knees? I've been t the doctor a few times, got given things to do and a booklet.

Any chance of posting the route taken?

Here's Apollo's strava from that day (mine cut out and I can't remember where the .fit file is hosted)

Shweet.

Thumbs up on the Phils and TB14's. I want to rebuild mine on some Goldtec hubs. Much sexy chrome.

Not 100% sure and neither is the doctor. I'm waiting for bluerip00 to come back from holiday before paying him a visit. I think it started off with misaligned cleats but then carrying heavy stuff with the TA and a fencing camp made it worse.

Any ideas for the sscx yet?

Probably just a pompetamine because I don't want to get bits brazed on the brooklyn and want a longer HT.

Been riding the orlowski about in silly mode quite a bit recently, died 60 miles on it like this the other day.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Lol unfortunate spelling error!

Also been borrowing Kamal's BMX while I try to build my own for free/cheap.

Had to change a few things to make it more rideable but here it is.

You've crashed on it already, haven't you?

Of course, multiple times!

I've got a load of old/cheap/free/broken/shit BMX parts taking up space. What you need?

I don't think it'll be a good idea giving Indra broken things.

Sick, any bars/stem/seatpostclamp/forks/front wheel/tyres? Obviously will pay fair price for the bigger items.
