Was away for work this week and missed this.
Excellent result! Perfect forever bike (don't make me lie! 😃 ) -
This time we need to organise a ride! (That finishes at Winston's workshop)
-
First (red) stem wasn't Winston's, but a Velo Orange alloy one.
Agree the first red scheme wasn't right, I quickly regretted it, whereas I'm still happy with the grey one. -
Depending on your fork it may work?
Just had a look, your bosses would need to be closer together than this for it not to work.
-
I've one but struts (that attach to the canti bosses) have been shortenned to suit... Depending on your fork it may work? I'm Beckenham based if you wanted to have a look...
-
Saw work near work the other day and thought it belonged here...
-
Very cool, please keep the pictures coming!
-
Great stuff Winston ! Always nice to see your work!
My Varonha's now almost 10 years old. Still my favorite and most used bike! -
Wow! Love that front rack!
-
Personally don't think drops would ruin it, looks great!
"Dad sleds" is all I want to see when logging on the forum... -
What makes this anti for you?
It's a French branded bicycle but not a Look, so for @HoKe it can GTFO
-
Lovely bike... I always wanted to wrap my chain stay like this but every time stopped myself in fear that moist could get trapped and rust the tubing. Am I too risk averse?
-
Got a Gamoh front rack for decent price, not that I needed it, but I fancied trying, the front rack I had on the Varonha years ago is now on the Dawes.
I made a brass bracket for it (because that's all I had to hand, hope it's not going to bend under weight, brass being softer than St/steel I guess? ... It's quite beefy so should be ok) as the manufacturer's provided brackets didn't fit and I didn't want to butcher them, in case I wasn't keeping the rack in the end.I need to find a cheap basket now, has to be shallow with these bars...
-
Always up for a ride, parenting allowing... Still ride the same old bike!
-
But please align the rear rack, my OCD is screaming;-)
Probably why @Jingle_Jangle cautioned it was a work horse (comparatively). I've that same Nitto rack, and it's not an easy one with steep seat stays (and fast stays); better suited to slacker geo / smaller frames, which is annoying as it's otherwise a pretty thing.
That bike is lovely regardless!
-
Lovely stuff! Thanks for sharing!
-
As @MisterMikkel says he the famous kiddy cranks. Got the BB clamp thingy from SJS.
-
Started using the tandem again for schools drop offs and we're all enjoying it!
-
Apologies, I wasn't trying to dismiss your listing
Not at all, I didn't take it in that way :)
Good to know what's around. The Lidle model you know looks very similar to the Bialetti Venus.
Re heat transfer, I read somewhere that when possible it's good to pre-boil the water before and I do that now. Supposed to reduce the time coffee is heated before water gets through it... -
Wow! At that price my offering isn't very attractive!
Kind of based the price on half of what I found on eBay... didn't study in very much depth I admit.
For reference, here's an idea of the cost of the Alessi(s) new. What I remember paying for the large one at least, bought the small one in Italy and I think it was a bit cheaper (round 60 euros)
