@Chung yeah that was me, really need to start chatting to the people I see. Tho in a traffic jam going over london bridge doesn't always seem like the best place...

Spotted a guy on a pink bike with mash and das stickers this morn going over london bridge.

Forum cap (want one of them), white planet x forks.

Was gonna das but my brain froze a bit...

yes, dreams realized

Remember you guys, brooklyn or other thing? Will say hi properly next time I see you.

@Ok123 Dirt jump thing is a mafia blackjack, it's the cheapest, shittest most fun bike I have ever bought.

Got it for £40 and it's a wreck but it is amazing to bomb about on.
Tried to true the rear wheel of it yesterday and snapped 3 spokes, so rebuilding the wheel is on the to do list.

Took some quick pics of the Nelson on lunch

It's a bit logo heavy for my liking at the moment, but with the matching front wheel should tone that down a bit.

Had a look at how to remove the decals from the PX wheel and it seems you can sand it down the laquer over it. Might try that.

Coming soon, new saddle (ratty selle italia turbo?)/seatpost, new grips, matching front wheel. Better tyres.

Oh and spd's prob...

So so nice, like the little flashes of silver from the cranks/headset.

Glad people love it, I'm quickly falling for it too! Rides smooth, set it up with all the stuff of the dolan and went for a quick test.

Will try take some nice pics tomorrow of it in full hhs mode

Probably the nelson, tho going to build is up with a more practical Wheelset.

Carbon tub is not the best idea for daily riding.

Probably put the front navigator back on, keep the Px wheel for the dolan and get a carbon rear wheel for it too.
Maybe get some mudguards on the nelson, anyone know of any good ones that would fit?

Huh?

Thanks all, got it second hand. Had heard good things about the frames and liked the look of them.

The thick downtube on them looks awesome, proper hench.

Don't think you can buy them new anymore as the guy retired... Not sure on that tho

Frame came without the original fork but I think alpinas look really nice do will probably use the ones I have or get another pair if some come up cheap

Been wanting to do a projects thread for a while and recently acquired a new frame so seems like a good excuse!

A year (and a bit) ago's I bought a otp Dolan track champion with the intention of getting into cycling a bit more. Had been riding a old fixed conversion Raleigh up till then.

The Dolan over the years evolved into this

Being my first bike I am a little protective over the dolan and as I'm commuting 20 miles a day now I thought I would build something I was happier to ride in the wind and rain and london and get a little more battered.

Buuut then I'm also not that into practicality.

So I bought this

And I think I like it more than the dolan ha!

Quickly built it up with parts from the Dolan and it looks something like this

Clearances at the back are nuts, wheel can't actually be pushed to the back of the dropouts.

Not sure how I'm going to build it up yet, will probably use a few of the bits from the Dolan. All black parts ect. Next thing to get is a bottom bracket, a nice seatpost and a nice saddle.

Also have this

and the dolan here that I built for my gf so will update this thread when I sort out pics of both of them.

Did my track induction at Herne Hill yesterday so hopefully both these bikes will see actuall track use soon too, which will be fun.

Turbo still about? Potential dibs if so

Yeah have to say not my favourite mass, lots of people getting aggro and pushy and weird protest with fireworks and paint in the middle of busy London streets are stupid and terrifying. Tho some nice people there

I'll be there with a few mates, and hopefully a slight Halloween costume. But haven't planed it well enough to do anything amazing.

Be cool to see some peeps!

CFX Road Wheelset with freewheel £20 - SOLD

Decent sturdy wheel set that spins true, bearings are slow but I think thats because it was a budget wheel set when I got it.

Updated info about wheel.

Tried to fit a 700c tyre to it and it turns out it's 700c so was just me being a bit thick.

Offers welcome. More bits to be added this evening

Cool go for it dude, I just used electrical tape and pulled it round so it kinda stretched and overlapped itself.

Gives a ok finish nothing special, is looking a little worse for wear after putting up with 20 miles a day in recent weeks.

Your tc looks real nice, you could always just raw the frame yourself. Thats kinda like a new colour. That my plan when I get bored with mine.

The only thing I found when I covered the whole bike with black tape was that when I took it off it peeled a little bit of the logo's away so now there is a gap in one which is a little annoying.

This is it blacked out

Yeah sure, it doesn't look as incredible close up but basically just tape over then scalpel and score round the dropout.
Will take some tonight.

Potentially what would the diameter of a 650 be?

Few things dibbed and added some wheels

Trying to save up for another build so selling all the random bits I have somehow collected, might be useful to someone.

Unsure on pricing for a lot of it so let me know if off.

Bump.. Still looking.

Moneyz waiting, looking for specialized tri / hed3 now.

£200/250+

Anyone fancy trading a 49t miche chainring for a smaller one. It's a bit too high gearing for my mr's.

There is some wear on the teeth but only cosmetic. A couple of months old otherwise, bought second hand very recently and not been used much since.
