Yeah Rik, why don't you spend less time hanging around Brick Lane during the week and go back to art school you skinny jeaned, anorexic, ironic hair-cut, airbrushed wolf-shirt, Surrey rich kid.

I think I found a photo of him.

Hi,
As Ive just built an old Carlton single speed I thought it would be good to sign up.
Hopefully to share any knowledge about bike building and expand it too.

Hey mate. Welcome. I'm new as well and just posted up some flix of my Carlton. Would be good to see some pix.

yeah, they're pretty wacky. They are SUGINO. I've never seen any like em before.

couple of more unfinished projects..

another fail.... look the angle on tho se bars.... and the non-drive side picture....
oh boy, you have lots to learn

Rik, looks like your tight jeans are cutting off the circulation to you head.

I used to be a smart arse in my younger days too but a smack in the chops sorted me out.

This one's got drops at least...

wondering what rims are those? tubes or clincher? looking ages for a lopro clincher rims with 24 holes....any help ist highly appreciated TIA

Rims haven't got any decals on em so I can't help you with what they are, sorry .

They are clinchers BTW.

Cheers

Nothing to do with what's acceptable now and the like, just the general notion that moustache bar are much more suited than a riser.

yeah no probs mate. wasn't having a dig at you as such. All good

you are not "a la mode", sorry

thank fuck for that Rik

..cause then i'd end up a knobhead like yourself ( is this you?)

I agree with you, but unfortunately for us, risers on track bikes are not a la mode.

are risers not hip any more?

are moustache bars the new risers now?

What happens if I put moustache bars on it and in a few months time, moustache bars are not "a la mode"!

If dudes start fitting old dragster bars to track bikes should I start doing it too.

the bars, are the bars, are the bars, and they work just fine.

There will be some drops going on at some stage but there's no rush.

Would love to see it with Brooks-taped drops though.. :)

yep, agreed. got a few sets of bars to play with. I'm just waiting for the right stem to come along.

that is your bike?

off to the naughty step, you can not post your bike in the porn thread, is a bit bad manners
I see that your a newie, better place to put it will be here

cheers man. sorry about that. I've posted some flix up.

hey. new to the forum. Posted this up in the wrong section and was nicely told to post it up here. Cheers

and for what do you use the bike? race?

no.

but why ruin a perfectly decent wheelset? I'm sorry but I don't get your point.

I don't often post up on these types of forums but I thought this old banger was nice enough for some people to appreciate.

If i chucked Aerospokes on it I'm sure you'd have something to say, If I fitted some deep v's you'd have an opinion on that too. If I fitted wooden rims I'm sure you would have given me your 2 bobs worth as well. If I left it without wheels then I'm sure i'd hear about it on top of everything else.

If I've posted the flix in the wrong section then I'm happy for the mods to move em.

that's how i got em mate. ask the guy who used to race in em. suited him just fine.

spoked radial on the rear non-drive side. 2 cross on the drive side tied and soldered.

not as pissweak as some i suppose "Pisstanator"

Cheers for the advice and the lovely comments.

yeah, well the beauty of these ones is that they come off and can be changed when required.

I've got a heap of bars for it but am waiting on the right stem to pop up.
