According to Mike Burrows all cranks are too long and he seems to have sound reasoning behind it (less leg movement, different foot speed), so the use of shorter cranks might be a happy accident for fixed gear.
And also, pedal strike is not the best thing to happen in a corner so that is reason enough!
+1 + toe overlap

Have you signed up just to evangelise about helmets? I'm sure everyone here has weighed up the odds and made their choice.
+1 :)

Word, that bike is well lush! Haven't uttered that in a few years. Loosely going to be modelling my project on this with plenty of shiny bits!

When i read 'chipped' I imagined cosmetic damage......then i looked at the photos and realised that by 'chipped' what you really mean is 'its got a fucking massive hole in it'.....
structural damage lol :)

I've just finished my Katana Tsunami, built with:
Nitto NJS bars and seatpost
Soyo grips
SR NJS stem
Planet X tub wheels with Conti Duraskin tubs
Truvativ Omnium cranks
105 front brake with Kore suicide leverIt's gorgeous BUT I built it up to commute on, only to find my local train co wonn't take bikes (other than the folding variety!!!) so now I'm goin to have to sell it to invest in a (gulp) folder instead.....might be interested in a partial swap deal....but bear in mind it cost me £1300 to build and its been ridden up the road ONCE!!!!
I'm going to list it on the classifieds section once I'm out of the nursery (!!).....look out for it!
tubs - not cheap option for commute, dear punctures...

Bike on the road but not finished
It's an old "Alan" frame from Italy.
Need to sort some SPD's out and a plain seatpost. Also running a very spinny 42/17 cause it's all we had in the shop. And would help if the frame wasn't slightly compressed, hopefully it won't fall apart on me
vintage bits badly needed for this build...
-
cheers bro! Yeah def gonna cut down the steerer. Gonna wait till my pops gets back tho. I don't really trust myself to do it!
Probably going to be on the road in about a week - still waiting on the replacement 75 chainring and some other bits.
I'll spin down deptford way when it's done.what cranks you are planing to stick on it? (dont tell me suginos)
-
Thanks. So a straightbladed fork wont help? I thought people were using them to fix such problems for barspins and cornering. Or is my clearence just too small to fix at all?
Wanted to get this fork, fits my lugs and chrome track ends.
165 cranks would make big difference :)

no need for lo-pro's
or
low-pro position with 700c front :) -

This is such a good-looking bike. Great cockpit. Yes, I'm posting it again.
Get a black saddle on it and give it the rosette.

Should swap my rent for this? Handy in these tough times :) Double bed would be better -
this guy went to Cavendish Cycles, look at his smile -
Jon Maxwell: " camapgnolo pista wheelset (tubular,not clincher rims), tyres and cog not included,as new cost £600.00 "
Conder sold them for £499.00 my dear

beautiful bike !!! i think if you are after more money take it apart and sell it on bay - beautiful components! If i was you i would definitely take it apart and sell parts individually

The Chorus and Record models had replaceable rear cages.
Beyond that I'm not sure but will find out.
as far as i know camp aero rear cages are not replaceable... i have campy croce d'aune and unfortunately only the front ones are
-
i just hope it'll grab the tiny bit of thread on my tiny fork on my tiny polo bike :D
I'v got 105 hs on my PUG beater, there is no space left on stearer threads for washer (have check from time to time if it is undone, but it never happened in a month or so :) i might use bearing plastic seal from previous shim 600 headset as a washer :) trying to think creative lol

i went for a ride yesterday evening having in mind that salt will clean off my bike old grease and dirt... when got back home washed it with hot water, regreased it and it came out clean... salt accelerates (probably causes it) corrosion as you know
-
well my bike was fine yesterday. perhaps because i got the fresh snow in the morning that froze all over the bike, protecting from salt etc.
be kind to your bike dude, follow my advice :) i grew up in North East EU, and a reason why we are not riding bikes on a salty roads is that it fcuks it up (for exmpl: when people buy car back there they want to know how many winters it spent on the road - i know it sounds funny, like native american lol - (q:"how old are you" a: "26 summers" :)
