I'm looking to swap my Jetblack turbo for a set of rollers.
It's a hydrogel one, with varying resistance settings. I still have the original box and a riser for front wheel.
I'm looking to swap to rollers as I fancy a change!

Also I'm based in Camberwell by Burgess park the turbo isn't to bulky but wouldn't be very easy to transport by bike (unless you have a cargo bike!)

Built this up today! Just got in from a lovely little evening ride around Battersea and a bit of the Thames path.

Excuse the shitty picture, some better ones will follow...

Just a few creases to iron out; I think I'm going to get some Nokon housing for the compression-less goodness, I need to add an inline barrel adjuster on the gear cable, I will also add a top layer of Newbaum's cotton tape over my current Velox stuff, and finally need to decide on a new saddle either a Brooks C17 or C17 with cutout.

Right now to plan some rides...

Yeah I was so disappointed when I saw a pair I built for a customer come back in with shiny braking surfaces!!!

Yeah I think they do, I guess it's getting to the point of 135 being standard now though!
I went for Archetypes, it's was a decision between them and Stans Iron Cross. But I love building with H plus Sons rims, they go together so nicely and look beautiful!

^yeah I've always thought 132.5 was such a good idea for steel frames!

Just got a call from my boss, rims have arrived, gonna pop in and pick them up soon.
Then lace them tonight, should be able to build up the bike tomorrow!

Dinner stop. Setup v.stable. Got camelbak rucksack too. Must pack less next time, tho reminded one night stuff almost = many nights stuff.

I hope you got the Tofu chilli, that pub is one of the things I miss most about Manchester. This route looks like real good fun, I will have to make a note of it for next time I'm home!

My hope stuff arrived today! Headset and a pro 2 rear hub.

My rims that were on back order have also been dispatched, so fingers crossed I can build this up on Thursday/Friday!

Dogs should be obligatory in every project thread now!

This looks like it should be really nice. like others above, I'd recommend a compact cx double, and those new Shimano cantis, really nice and simple to set up.
A triple is so much more hassle for not that many more gears.

Thanks!

My bottom bracket arrived today.
and my absoluteBLACK chainring. It is so nice, it even arrived in all black packaging!

So my plan for the rack is a Swift Industries Ozette bag in all black and green.
Is the shiny rack going to look out of place?
Should I get it painted/look into painting it myself?

The only other shiny thing on it will be the chain and cassette everything else will be black.
Hmm...

Thanks!

Yeah one of the first frames I looked at for this project was a Pompino V4, it's a shame as I really like On One but there isn't many options for 120.

Just attached my handlebars and shifters to see what they look like.

I went for Salsa Cowbell 2s the shape of them seems really nice and I feel like I would use the drops more than on a set of woodchippers

As you can just about see in the pic I gutted the left hand shifter. It felt so wrong opening brand new shifters and pulling them to pieces!

That was my first thought, but as it's disc and meant for Di2 Alfine it's 135mm

So I just fitted my DMR qr mounted hanger, Sram X7 type 2 mech and my rear BB7 (The new all black version looks so nice!)

Now trying to figure out the best way to attach a Velo Orange Randonneur rack!

Also got emails today to say my AbsoluteBlack chainring is on its way to me and my BB86 GXP bottom bracket is finally back instock and has been dispatched!

I went for a Hope headset and Pro 2 rear hub which should be here on Tuesday

This is all getting very exciting for me, as my main ride for the last year has been my s/s 29'er after I fucked up my knee crashing on my last road bike.

Hi,
This is my first thread so please be nice!

So I have been planning a 1x10 fast touring/light off-road touring bike for about 6 months now, slowly putting parts in a pile in the corner of my bedroom.

I had been planning to get a black Surly Straggler frame, but after being offered a stupidly good deal from Madison on this Genesis frame I decided to go down the route of adapting this for what I need!

I got the frame today and have started fitting parts!

Frame and Forks (+dog)

After planning and collecting parts for a Surly Straggler build for about 6 months (I have pretty much everything except the frame), I got offered a really good deal on a Genesis Day-One 853 frame. So after finding the parts I needed to butcher it and run it with a rear mech I ordered it, and it will be arriving in about half an hour! Its own thread will follow shortly!

This is going to be so nice! Have you heard any progress from the powdercoaters yet?

Hi, new profile here, long time lurker and have posted on here in the past. Decided to become a member again!

Stem and bars, there is a few very small white paint splatters that I will clean off, other than that just a few knocks to the white paint of the logos and some sticky tape residue that would clean off!

Hi really sorry! I have been ill and tucked up in bed. Will upload pics now.
