Hello bronto, u still looking? i have them, in mint condition

who's a lucky mother fucker!

Believe it or not this was won, with 15 other frames, at the Strathclyde Police auctions in a lot described as 'pile of scrap bikes' for £125 at the weekend. That's a record carbon seatpost, record headset, chorus bb, alu record cranks, alu record front derailleur and a carbon stem. All on the 'scrap bike'.

Again a proof that bloody coppers have shit for brains

on race cranks the right crank is the crank with the normal tread,

with reversing you would have to reverse your toe clips too, or have symm pedals. Look keo pedals are useless now,so yes thats one problem indeed :D !

treads treads treads,

is there a tread tread here on this site? :D

hmmm, with the cog tread you have a point there! But only with the old style treaded shimano cogs, without lockring since you would unscrew the cog on cycling! with a locked cog this is not the case. Skidding on right hand chain loosens your lockring sometimes if not properly fastened, (by the shock it gets) but the fact you can skid a bike with a well fastened lockring, would prove you could also ride hard forwards with the wheel reversed

No! as amatter affect by cycling the movement loosens your pedal! this is also with BB cups. think of it: your righthand pedaltread is normal tread! imagine your bearing would be "fixed :D"

then imagine a forwrd cycling rotation, your pedal would come loose!

with symetrical BB it is the same, left , right, it doesnt give a fuck! at some point all went to the right because of standardisation of parts, for geared road bikes

i was thinking about that the other day also..... but why is it definied that the chain should be on the right??? on roadbikes it is but on my trackbike..... switch the cranks and reverse the wheel and it is the same! only thing i know of is that on track tubes the decals are on one side (left side) because you ride on your right side of the wheel and the surface of those decals is slippery.

hmmm after some googeling i found out, i was mixing two things together:
http://www.mmatsuura.com/e/research/bicycle/cases/depo.html
this project, and rental bikes with those top tubes i ve seen myself wich were locked against the wall via that tube! am off paddo's for years now, so i still believe this was reallity ;)

hahaha and some one has took that design and made a company of it! hihihi

Not porn but whaaa is this?

I was in the Dam a coupple of weeks ago and spotted this odd top tube, it's like a solar pane or somink.....Any guesses?

i can tell you what these bikes are. They were rental bikes, it was a project a few years back i believe, the bikes were very cheap made, and on surtain points (trainstations etc.you could "hook them on" on that top tube. at that "dockingstation" you could put in money via a bankpas and the bike would disconnect. The construction, made them easily recogniseble (even after painting them) Believe the project ended :D i mis the Dam sometimes

just found these:

then make at one side the holes for the bolts to go trough and on the laying side the round attachment to weld it to the round surface of a bended plate wich is welded at the top of the laying tubes, (does anyone understand me , what i mean?)

thanks for the help, i hope this is going to work

ps) i cant weld myself

but what i need to know is:

• could i make dropouts myself out of a thick plate of alu?

• are there already made alu dropouts with steel inserts available?

• does the alu alloy need to be the same to weld it?

• what is the best way to get rid of the waterbottlecageholes? (good scrabble word, but hej :S who the fuck still plays scrabble these days???)

The dog of Vandenbroucke 5 years ago;

good tip !!! will consider it! a quick fix for those wheels (wich are about 250-300 euros) so i dont want to spend hours of work on it! Damn i need a pair of those dropouts !!!

@ Dammit check my tatt on my lowerback:

this is the situation: it is a used race frame of mine, it is of no use to me anymore, and the paint is fucked! i have a crankset / BB chain wheels and everything.... but i am low on cash! i want to strip it with that nitromorse shizzel, then saw off the cable holders and find a way to fill (was thinking on letting them be welded) the holes of the watercages, then put on track dropouts and build that sucker up!!! that giant omnium frame of mine are alu dropouts with steel inserts! wish i could get me a pair of these to be welded on!

Hello,

i have these wheels wich are 32 spoke, soldered cross 2 laced wheels on track hubs, but the rims are machined. the rest of the rims are black. i hate this. Could i? (without taking the wheel apart):

a) take the black paint of with that acid shizzel ?

b) Spraypaint that machined surface and (after slighly rouhing it up) the black area, with masking the nipples?

thanks for the advice

Hello, i have a question on dropouts! I have this alu bianchi road race frame, wich i want to make fixed! It has an carbon standing rear fork, wich are bolted on the alu dropouts. Is it possible to weld steel dropouts to the alu (laying) tubes? Should i buy alu dropouts with removable steel inserts? or should i just get a thick plate of aluminium somewhere and try to saw out and drill my own dropouts? What would be the way to go here?

greets

heard this few weeks after the sell, now i feel like when you dumped your hot girlfreind because she nagged to much, and a few weeks later you feel horny again, and you hear she is with some very rich dude or so! ;p

no to paint that frame yellow, is a crime!

This WAS my bike, so now it is porn to me again :S wanted other wheels on it, and the paint was fucked! sold it! But beginning to regret it already, since the guy i sold it to new little or nothing about riding fixie, and i sold it because i needed the money :( still have the wheels (trainingwheels for on the track), seatpost, saddle, cranks and pedals though, wich will be apearing on my new project, to be seen in the my bikes section on the site, ( no own bikes in the porn tread i know ;) ) hmmm shame i didnt take more fotos of it with other wheels! (competition wheels, with whome i dont ride on the road) the guy who has the frame now is going to spray it yellow :S
