Yum and Yum

I'd put my Pug up here but it's not 100% done yet and is still dressed in an old saddle. Got a new one on the way for xmas with matching bar tape :)

pissed_up_pista · 12th December 2009

Spenceey, put a picture up... And Ben, is that a new Miche Chainset?

spenceey · 13th December 2009

Here she is just got to replace the seat and bar tape (chirstmas presents!) also got some gatorskin tires on the way too.

Ditry Harry brake, and Tiagra Front brake (had to drill fork to fit)

pissed_up_pista · 13th December 2009

Mate, that bike looks shit hot... Look forward to getting you out on it... If you want any riser bars or bullhorns then let me know... I have all sorts laying around and would be happy to part with them for very little deniro. Oh yeah and its missing some NVS stickers. Hahahahaa.

machineisbored · 14th December 2009

Took the Ribble out for a spin today, lovely apart from sudden horizontal hail-stone storm coming down Grapes Hill at speed.

spenceey · 14th December 2009

Cheers mate,

Only thing is the french quill is a real weird diameter so can't fit bars without shims.

Am tempted later on to get new forks/headset and stem so I can use regular bars.

Seat looks a little uncomfortable at the moment! You gona join the group for a ride soon?

pissed_up_pista · 13th January 2010

Hahaha quite. Wouldn't fancy perching on that! What wheels are those. Man got mad styles...

machineisbored · 13th January 2010

Thems H+Son if I'm not mistaken.

Sam91 · 13th January 2010

Velocity b43's. n ye the seats on now. still need to shim it up the relentless can shim aint holding. Gonna take it for a spin tonight. I read somewhere you mentioned polo. I'd be well up for some polo games in norwich!

machineisbored · 14th January 2010

I stand corrected. How much did they set you back?

Sparky · 14th January 2010

Deeeep section wheels there. And another brakeless death-machine enters the streets of Norwich...

Sam91 · 14th January 2010

I got my student grant through so decided to treat myself and got the set off eBay for $200.

Sparky · 14th January 2010

Grant? Dollars? Are you living in Norwich, Norfolk or Norwich, Conneticut?

Sam91 · 14th January 2010

Norwich uk haha i got them shipped from america. Student loan / grant i go to NUCA

spenceey · 14th January 2010

I'll get some picutures of mine up here before long, gona flop and chop the bars and got a nice matching seat and tape.

So far this year the weather has been shite, alas no great rides :(

Sparky · 14th January 2010

I have ridden only 95.3 miles so far this year. Yes, exactly.

Would post pics of my fixed, but I can't see anything but mud and grit at the moment.

pissed_up_pista · 14th January 2010

Yeah, my bike got a few upgrades at xmas. Nothing too flash though. Salty road shite is one of the new upgrades.

spenceey · 15th January 2010

I'm thinking of a new frame before long then my dream ride is complete!!

pissed_up_pista · 15th January 2010

Nice, any thoughts...

spenceey · 15th January 2010

Well to be honest I'm not 100% sure. Steamroller maybe, there's a few frames I like. Just one with normal threading unlike the pug would be good!

pissed_up_pista · 16th January 2010

You need to come into the 21st century. Quils and threads are cool but ahead/ internal headsets with 1 1/8" stems. Defo the way forward.

spenceey · 16th January 2010

Yeah thats what I mean mate, steamroller has ahead... hmmm choices!

pissed_up_pista · 16th January 2010

I am not a big fan of the steamroller... I recon something with thicker tubing. They always look so thin. Whatever floats your boat though.

spenceey · 16th January 2010

well to be honest id like something with braze ons so I can fit a pannier rack if needed (since i'm thinking about some big rides this year.

Not 100% sure what I want yet to be honest. Maybe even a charge plug frame.

spenceey · 18th January 2010

F**k it! After much consideration today I'm going to get a Fuji Track. I've got a few cameras to sell as well which will help with the cost.

Anything you'd recommend I change straight off (part from bars+seat) Pista?

Sparky · 18th January 2010

They're a decent bike. I have one too (2007). Keep it stock, replace as they wear out - there's plenty of crap weather left...

pissed_up_pista · 18th January 2010

Well good bikes for the money... Go to Evans and work out ya sizing. Probably 56-58 I'd of thought...

Sparky · 18th January 2010

Back from the powdercoaters. Wrapped up really well, but there's a tiny dent on the downtube. Not sure if it happened when I was taking it over there or if they did it, but it was done before powdercoating by the look of it. Tiny, tiny dent, but I can't stop looking at it. Quality is nice otherwise.

Big thanks to Keppel for picking it up and meeting me this evening. Really helpful, ta mate.

pissed_up_pista · 18th January 2010

What happened to the pink. Haahahahahaha. When ya gonna build it up? Looks well sweet...

Post picures when its ready!

spenceey · 18th January 2010

Yeah thats what I thought, what happened to pink?!

Think when I get the fuji I'm going to put my Pake cranks on it, just to make it more classic, match with a brown saddle and bartape and I should be good to go :)

If anyone wants a peugoet fixed soon, let me know and i'll let you know once it's free to go.

Sparky · 18th January 2010

Pink was a red herring. Gutted about the dent but I'm going to try and ignore it. I suppose I can always get it fixed if it really bugs me. Would rather not spend £100+ getting it done though.

pissed_up_pista · 19th January 2010

Yeah gutted, but it will be alright. Will be fine wjrn it is all built up.

Sam91 · 28th January 2010

ive decided im selling my old frame once its finished and old guitars n everything i dont need. im saving up for a affinity lo pro frame.

SO nice! Looks amazing and apperntly there really compfy to ride to and i want a nice newly built instead of a cheap bike restoration!

spenceey · 28th January 2010

That looks great mate. I'm getting myself a charge plug very soon. I decided that I need a new bike, doesn't mean that the restorations will stop though.

pissed_up_pista · 28th January 2010

Yeah I'd like a lo pro. Do they require a 650c front wheel? Or is that just what people do?...

Sam91 · 28th January 2010

Nah you can have 700c front and rear but some people stick a 650 on the front.

Sam91 · 28th January 2010

Charge pros look awsome! Im definately gonna fit a front brake i think. I'll be more confident at going fast the only reason n i can keep up with you guys hahah and its safer. Had to many near crash experiences.

pissed_up_pista · 28th January 2010

Lol. Strap up ans skip skid down the road.

spenceey · 28th January 2010

I'll join you with that Sam. I haven't got the nerve to go brakeless yet. On the times I have gone brakeless I haven't gone very fast at all for fear of not stopping in time!

spenceey · 28th January 2010

Oh yeah pissed Aaron has finished his build now of the old claud butler, looks very nice indeed but I won't steal the thunder and put pictures up here, he can do that!

Sparky · 28th January 2010

Sam overshot so far that he ended up in another city when he came out with us. We stopped at Mark's house, Sam stopped in Colchester.
