Dibs Athena rd if still available. Sending PM shortly

Aware of the possibility of course, and I'll be keeping an eye out for any indication of the damage worsening (creaking sounds, increased bending etc.), but I'm not that worried of the frame suddenly snapping with fatal impaling and OTB-launching consequences.

Good spot ed. The downtube shows a frontal impact just below the headtube lug. ooof.

Now that you mention it, I only checked the top tube and headtube for damage. There's a partially transparent sticker on the DT which might mess up the perspective, but I'll definitely check the DT when I get the chance and report back.

Frameset was about £80 posted so not a big loss financially, but it would be a bummer if it turns out to be unsafe to ride.

Checked the frame and the down tube is clearly bent. I guess I'll ride it 'til it dies. A sad day.

Your front end is fucked, get it checked out before you ride further.

There's no dents on the tubing or compression damage on the frame and the fork legs are true and straight. Rides fine and looks nice, so no problems here.

My cx street beater. Had proper knobbly tyres on it during winter for snow riding, but as it turned out, there was snow only for like a week here in southern Finland.

Testing the new setup of my lopo steed:

Rear is clincher from a road Shamal laced to a Record hub. Front is tubular 650c.

I borrowed the bars (ITM Citta di Bassano) from vanttera, but they're stupid deep and a pain to ride on the street. Looks swag tho. Then I tested 3TTT Moscows, which felt really nice. Gotta get me one of those.

I don't think he said it's a c record, he just said record which it is.

Well, I didn't say it's C-Record either.

Anyhoo, glws

Nice stuff. I'd say the headset is Super Record instead of Record judging by the drilled top head race and locknut design.

Rad ride. Diggin it.

Did you just pup something inside the dropout or is there something you can buy?

Chain pins and super glue is the common, easy and cheap way to do this.

It doesn't really belong in a streamlined performance machine like that Vitus. It would look out of place, heavy (which it is) and a waste of a good saddle. Save it for a different bike and put a Flite or somesuch on the Vitus.

Looking for a pair of track hubs for my new project. Here's what I would like to have:

• Campagnolo Record Pista
  
• Shimano Dura Ace 7600 or 7710
  
• Mavic 520 Piste (preferably with lockring)
  
• Suntour Superbe Pro
  
  

All hubs should come with 32 spoke holes.

I live in Finland, so shipping would be needed. Payment via Paypal.

Contact with PM 'cos I might miss it if posted in the thread.

Cheers.

2nd dibs on Flite, if it becomes available.

The tapers on Shimano UN51 and 600 BBs are definitely not ISO, but JIS.

Constant uphill

The story behind the Caygill is that the extended seat tube was broken off due to forcing a too small seat post diameter and overtightening the clamp.

Vanttera sorted it out by welding a new tube inside the old seat tube. In the process the paint was removed from the seat cluster area. The original paint was this boring whiteish colour which was just boring, and with the damage already done to the paint we decided to scorchio the whole thing, which was quite fun actually.

I wouldn't call this very ratty myself, since most of the parts look new or unused and I haven't even got around to properly riding it.

Eww, dude.

They can look good on most builds.

They can, but they usually don't.

F5 It looks shit, won't match any cranks and hasn't got any swag.

It looks nice, crank matching might be a problem, but it defo has swag.

Yeah, I guess we could continue this forever, but I don't see the point of it.

I was just making my point for Marksy there. No need to get all PMS about it.

I was comparing the looks (HHSB context u know) and not some track cycling performance aspect of Zen rings (and I didn't even say they're just for keirin).

Okay, so let's start with the Zen then shall we:
Intended use would be NJS builds, where the massive chainring looks out of place next to skinny steel frame tubes. Black Zens do not work for me 'cos the big ass white kanjin and red Zen logo mess up the feng shui, so silver Zen is the way to go. But a thorough silver component build on a slave bike is hard to pull off. Works well with raw aluminium and I like the minimalism (bar the logo) of it, but on most builds it's just out of place.

Next up is the 44rn 144 chainring:
I like the way that it's something different from classic chainring design (DA, Campa etc.), but I'm not feeling the asymmetry of it. Especially the one cutout that is just recessed is bugging me off. Still, it's a very nice, modern chainring.

And the Factory5 chainring:
Yeah, it reminds me a lot of the 44rn, but I fancy it better because of the symmetry and the three dimensional effect of the cutouts. It's also a nice mix between classic and modern design, with a familiar double ring shape, but with elaborate details.

Questions?

I've never really understood the design of the 44rn 144, aesthetics wise. But yeah, I'd probably pick one of them instead of a zen for a HHSB build. Those Factory5s are still nicer tho.

44rns are so last season. What I've heard Factory5 is the shizzle right now:

And yes, they come in black as well.

Grey Dura in M-size & Irish Green Campag in M-size, please.

You'll have a PM in bit.
