Eyebrows' 2017 project thread

So.
Plans:

1. Storage facilities update.
   
2. Bike for farm
   
3. Geekhouses renewal
   
4. Race bike
   
   
   

Not in that order.
Here are some sneak peeks.

Here's number 4. Its actually been built for about 1/2 a year. Needless to say its very fast.
I love it.
Probably change the stem at some point. (looking for more horizontal 120mm if anyone has suggestions). (I think -10º?)

Pro vibe stems are -10, and probably would look good as the toptube isn't true horizontal.

Cheers, its mainly for reach/ fit reasons.

Subbed.

I've got a Ritchey stem that might be 10 deg and 120.

Otherwise fizik is your friend

Hmmm... Interesting. I do like Fizik stuff.

Sub'd

Bimbling along somewhat.
I have no updates because I've become incredibly indecisive about GHses- mainly gears or no for the one and Discs or no for the other.
#absurdthingstoworryabout.
Also as a by product of actually riding my bikes
I don't actually care about building them.

Also I need to fix the flat.

So hopefully the Now grey/ yellow GH will be getting a 1x drivechain, donated predominantly from another bike. Will consider 650b options when that is all done. Hopefully done by early May.
Will also be sticker bombed because I cba painting.
Pink house is being rebuilt with all its original kit when I get a full rainy day in London, so again early May.
Race bike is complete as far as can be bothered, though I need a set of wheels.

Temporary Bike storage/ Stable.
There's quite a nice coherent theme of colors going on, from the green 'dale to the pinkhouse with the Talbot perfectly making up the middle ground.

What happened to the Giant?

Sold it in summer. Was just a little too big for me.
Much happier back on a 'dale.

Good tyres.

Asked in the current projects thread but it got buried, what's the rack on the Geekhouse? I'm about to buy a Velo Orange pass hunter and plastikote it black. Yours looks pretty similar and would save the hassle of spraying it. Seems hard to find black racks in that style, they're all polished metal.

I'm afraid its a sprayed Nitto. (which I think may actually be the same rack).
Apologies for not replying on the thread.

No worries and thanks. Nice looking mini racks in black just don't seem to exist so I had to ask. I'll stick to my original plan then.

Sort of done.
Need better photos taken. And mud. Lots of mud.
Tyres change to come/ various other changes. Maybe 650b on GreyHouse.
Who knows

What's top right? Another Geekhouse?

No it's a grayhouse, their fiercest competitors.

Its my old GH from 7(!) years ago.
Sort of a jack of all trades build. The tourer will be used sparingly until I decide audaxing sounds like fun. The Talbot pretty much covers all conditions ever. And the Cannondale is for posing.

Looks like my original talbot

I approve, obvs

You've put mudguards ! :-O

Commuting.
Found that I may have fucked the race bike.
Or rather it needs to go for surgery.
Asshat.
