Can anyone suggest a caliper that will allow me to squeeze a 25 tyre up front?

Cheeky!

Another @jellyaxe spot, somewhat belated. Man gets around!

Also nice skid @KamalRB

Probably @Blue6

Yes pls! I'll PM you

About to purchase some Mack 20/24 road hubs, can I have some suggestions for a light shallow rim? Carbon or otherwise? Was looking at the HED Belgium Black series but they still seem hard to get in Aus.

My local velodrome in Perth, Australia. Not too steep but still a lot of fun!

Yes, definitely. I'm going to hunt down a rear Spinergy to match the front that I've got laying around. And source some closed can Campy skewers.

I thought about making the build period correct, but then I realised that I have no idea what year the frame was made, nor does it have an original paint job.

As for bar set-up, I'm thinking about something like this. Shiny, minimal, low base bar and probably flat or S bend extensions. What's the general rule with stem length, how much shorter should I go when I normally run a 100mm stem?

Potentially. Not sure it would work overly well though, because of where the hanger sits on the dropout. When it had gears the axle was almost at the end of the dropout, any further forward and the derailleur would chuck a wobbly and wouldn't work properly. But it's definitely something to try

Another favourite is lentil bolognese. When I'm lazy but need something somewhat nutritious I usually just mix a can of lentils in with pasta sauce and serve with spaghetti. And spinach. Always add spinach!

My favourite recipe is using red lentils. Fry some garlic, ginger, bay leaves, dhal spices, chuck in tomatoes (canned or fresh), red lentils, a tin of coconut milk, juice of a lemon, some water/stock, let the lentils cook almost completely then throw in a huge handful of spinach. Let wilt and serve with brown rice/quinoa or a mix of both

Anyone have a small film camera they're looking to off-load?

Yes. Who's got one?!

For reference, here is (another) photo of the bike how I had it set up. I think it could easily become a TT rig, due to the short top tube, my only concern is there isn't enough saddle to bar drop, even with the stem slammed. Can I still achieve maximum aero gains?

So after many tantrums I decided to transfer everything over to a CAAD9 frame, which is now my road bike. Unfortunately this bike just wasn't working out with gears, was having too many issues with wheel slip, QR, tyre clearance, mad toe overlap.. Which is a real shame because it looked great and when I didn't have issues it rode really nicely.

I've been having a think about what is next in the life of Brian. I thought about SS'ing it, but the frame is very limiting with clearance for 23c only which rules out taking it off-road. I could turn it into a wet weather commuter, but tbh, we just don't have many days like that in Perth. If the weather is good I commute on my road bike.

Then I had a thought, could Brian become a TT bike? I've always wanted to try TTing but always been put off by how ugly small TT bikes look. Is this a silly idea? Am I still going to have issues with wheel slip if I decide to leave the hanger on and run gears?

Dibs if any of them fall through

@edscoble in Brixton Cycles, nice to finally meet you!

Photo?

Clocked you riding up Kingsland Rd this afternoon, yelled out but you had headphones on
