new window in, shower ready for tiling.

want to do nutmeg but can't find the dates for this year.

i question the disc. the 8x110 is njs keirin dimensions. conversion kits are available which may help you out.

Like HED disc in the rear? Is this going for actual velodrome?

I always go for black.

We move in two weeks. You'll have to point me towards something cool going on in the near future.

Blue. Fancy fookin bike either way man!

I know lol

Edit - wife preferred I removed the searchable images. Didn't debate.

Lol there's a pub we used to frequent which had the table 3 feet from the wall. Good times..

Here is how it's going. New top R rated closed cell insulation, new wires. Moving along on the framing.

Will also replace and enlarge the windows for more light.

We stole a another foot from the bed space and when with a real sized shower 42"x48". The bed space is still 13'x15'

Here is the loose plan

Bought a house site unseen.
Needed new insulation, full rewire and we are converting the third floor into master.

We're moving.

Acquaintances own the company moving our shit. In fact they're buying our current home to live in. Full trust.

When it came to moving the motorcycle He's said "we strap it to a pallet and load it on the truck". It seemed like a remarkably unsophisticated explanation, but I didn't want to push it.

Anything I should know or ask?

Very unlike me!

As they all say.

I want - do not need - one

It has the wrong sticker.

This is great

Pretty much what Guru Geoff said. I'm used to driving cars with a power to weight ratio well in excess of 300bhp/ton (hello Golf Club), and with no electronic driver aids at all,

Absolutely shit all correlation with motorcycles. A pice of humble pie: you know nothing about motorcycles. There is simply no similar skill set. And the margin for error are tiny.

Until you know the feeling of not being able to get the bike to turn rapidly enough, you'll never understand. High sides (a sad result of over steer) and low sides (under steer) exist but on the street with modern traction control the more likely novice accident is simply not being able to make the turn happen and going to to the ditch / rail / oncoming traffic with a 300 lb gorilla for a companion.

The consequences of a speed miscalculation on motorcycle are always dire. It doesn't matter what speed. Dropping the bike at 10 mph sucks. 20 mph is like crashing on a bicycle at a fucking clip. 40 mph is incomprehensible. 60? 80?

I actually do think some people can get a big fast bike to learn on, just not everyone. Some of your racecar, no dependents statement are what makes me question your perspective on the task.

Anyway, I'm single, no kids, no dependents, and the mortgage is paid off. Might as well live a little.

This stupid statement is a warning sign. Get a smaller displacement older bike which has style.

Portsmouth. Right in town. Can't wait to hit some singletrack again. Been in Midwest for the past 20 years riding gravel and crap like that. Definitely will be playing bikes.

And I’d like to believe that there may be some dampening qualities in a longer chainstay?

I've always wondered if the yoke between the chain stays increased lateral rigidity. Not sure a yoke at top does anything structural.

I’ve had frames set up like this at a past gig, and with modern full length housing didn’t have any issues with shifting TBH.

I always to liked the idea. Years ago I used to run full length on the outside of the frame to keep the cables clean in muddy conditions. Didn't work that well. But I'm sure you're right and that's things have improved.

@fredtc I was looking at that ti frame last night. Agree it looks awesome.

I'm actually moving back to New England in June. Couldn't be more excited. Grew up riding in Connecticut in the 80s and 90s.
