Jolly sort of girl, and a nice bent over shot too ...

Is it me or does the girl on the right have a photo shop'd head

The best things in life are worth going to jail for, eh?

hmmmmm ....

I wouldn’t necessarily associate cannondale with the best things in life

.... and ?

bet you been waiting all day for that

hahahahahahaha

Getting a frame blasted and then wishing to coat with laquer,would this last long,also any tips on blasting please,is glass blasting better than sand? no serious rust so looking for a process which isn't too harsh,anyone used the aluminium oxide process to remove paint,can this be cheaper?

Blasting will affect colour and surface texture of steel in many different ways. We use 3 different types of media (that I know of), also egg shell and vapour blasting.

All would give differing results, have you any thoughts on how you want it to look after blasting ?

so so sexy

Maybe worth considering using a similar method ? Contact the original poster and ask him

My LBS has this subtle piece of bike porn......

You pedal as normal, then to engage the 2nd higher gear you pedal backwards - whilst still travelling forwards - WTF ? Imagine doing 20 odd mph through the traffic, then for swift overtaking - oh yeah pedal backwards 8-{

The feeling at speed must be bizarre

BTW, I am in no way employed at the said shop, and this is no way a cheap advertising ploy 8-)

4.5 out of 5 would easily sway me

Look good, what do they weigh? Looking to buy a new set for my summer bike as it currently runs tubs which could be more practical.

BG next time I take em off when I'm tatting about I'll weigh em and let you know

^ cheers DFP, thanks for the positive comments 8-)

I will post some better wheel close ups later

well here goes, best I could before the storm

Double seatpost bolt?
what are the wheels you got?

Hey BG, yeah I got a double seat clamp bolt, I had a load of trouble trying to source a single 'IN STOCK' seat clamp while doing the 'build'. I had it from CRC in the 'FLOOD SALE' and it was only £1.50 ! The plan was to take it into work and make 2 singles if you will by milling it into 2, as with all plans - it didn't go to plan and is still as you see it.

The wheels I had from Graham Weighs - top north west track guy - used have all my kit off him when it was Deeside Cycles, when they used to have quality track kit & wheels in stock. They are Mach 1 Omega on flip flop black cartridge hubs, £75 delivered - take a look

a long time in the building process, but finally here ...

My new Pomp

Same here. Filthy dirty bike with a pristine shiny cog on the wrong side..

I know that feeling too well 8-D

Do you have a flip flop hub? Or miche sprocket t change?

flip flop, I got room to stick a freewheel on the other side, but never used it before

I think it maybe time to crack open the 18 tooth then

Glad you went down and met him in person, hes a nice guy ain't he - shame to hear he has Cancer :-{ and he can't ride, bet thats a real bummer for him as he used to organise a yearly ride for Flying Gate owners.

Really nice guy and frame builder - highly recommended to anyone looking to repair steel.

^ PL, it is only 'the sting in the tail' I am worried about - suppose if the going gets tuff I could always walk up whatever it is 8-}

^ well done dude, they'll be happy of your support.

I was gonna attempt this event on my fxd as I have just got it on the road, but after months and months of using my s/s conversion mtb I am struggling with my Pomps 48/16. By the time this event comes around I will either have got used to it again, or the event will kill me trying to get round it.

Any ideas on gearing for events of this size, should I go up 2 teeth and run an 18 instead ?

TIA

rainrainrain. . .rain. everytime I finish a build it rains like a bastard.

I had the same thoughts myself ..... Finished off my Pomp yesterday morning and went off to work on it for the afternoon shift, you can imagine the scene last night trying to tackle the streets of Wolvo for the commute home while they were full of Friday night party goers, and the rain, oh the rain 8-{

^ my brother(what a tool) is a photographer. If you live local to Wolves I'm sure he would do it for you for free. TBH he did some for me a few years back - crikey what a load of pissing about - though he is a fanatical photography boffin.

Failing that Fursty ferret does photography and is also a forum member, based in Wolves, he would do it just cos he loves bikes etc

BTW Puncheur, looks like you'll be getting a lot more potential customers :)

Too right, I've already been over to check the items out 8-}
