Porklyn Gangsta Track

I'm not.

The Indy Fabs is in Dubai.

I would be too :) Mental is definitely his forte

With all black bits it will be wicked, ready in time for v3 ride?

Inshallah.

There's a custom painter here in Tokyo who did a Focus in the same vein as the Porsche.

His Instagram is pretty good ( https://www.instagram.com/swamp_jpn/ )

I can't decide if I want the cuts in English or German.

The cuts were german on the porche because it was painted in germany, so the cuts on this one should be in english

This is a very good point.

I wonder what @Oliver Schick thinks...

Most importantly @fussballclub

English. 100%

subscribed. This sounds awesome.

Perhaps cuts from the local (Brooklyn) deli?

Could do with some crackling now.

porsche is a german brand too

Subscribed, this is going to rule.

Yep, so it only follows that the words on the Brooklyn should be in American language. Whatever that is.

I think you should do them in German.

I've just stripped this down to the frame and it all came apart so easily - testament to what greasing everything properly and decent maintenance levels the previous owner clearly carried out can do.

The headset, bottom bracket (Phil) and the stem/seatpost/collar (all Thomson) are all in minty-fresh pristine condition.

It'll be off to Ali at some point this week.

I'm going to have a crack at building the wheels myself - I'm thinking all black Chubs on Archetypes and will ask @dancing james to offer guidance as well as coffee.

Cranks will be either Sugino 75, Onions or Rotor - obviously all black.

@Dom recommended Ribmo tyres having heard @DoktorPepe sing their praises, so I guess I'll give them a try.

have just got home, you are welcome to pop over. also have the park tool truing stand and tension meter you can use.

is this gonna be braklz? you could consider road tubeless disc rims and then have something like hutchinson sectors or 28mm schwalbe One tyres.

It certainly is going to be braklz.

I'm relatively traditional with rims and tyres, so will probably look at more conventional solutions.

It certainly is going to be braklz.

In that case, you can always go for some 29ers rims.

iirc the Brooklyn has generous clearance hence the suggestion for a larger tyre

It'll look more like Pepe's summer set up.

Until I manage to scratch it, it'll be for high days and dry days in the UK.
