London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

Far from finished, but you get the idea. English built(builder unknown) track tandem; needs new paint and a few more bits. Cinelli stems, campag/summit wheels, ta drivetrain, 3ttt bars, concor saddles and tape.
700c front and top tube angle isn't too aggressive compared to many.

After some haggling with the owner i finally got this. Ex-GB team built for the olympics some years and made from reynolds 753t.

that doesn't even look used

Stunning.

And this is in the process of getting built up geared.. Just waiting for new tubs as 23mm tubs dont fit as they catch on the rear bridge. Need 19mm for the zipp disc just as on the rear 3G.

that frame is pretty special, i imagine it was a custom jobby?
Are you going to use it as a TT bike?

Yes it was a custom designed frame. And yes im going to try a few TT's on it this year. It will be a bit of fun.

Not mine, posted in porn...

ftfy

Here's a few of my daily ridden Orlowski....



And one with it trying on a fancy front wheel...

edmundro
are you building up a fleet of tandems ? and will you taking this to the track next season ?
if you need a wheezy stoker at herne hill

Here's mine....
before I get sniped...I know the stem needs to be lowered but this one won't drop any further so am on the lookout for one that's not quite so deep.



*cheers to Phazergunalex btw! *

yeah, looks like it's got a great potential, but your current setup deprives your bike the right to be called lo-pro

cheers, which part of the set up do you mean?

bar/stem

true, they are kind of temporary like I mentioned, although I actually do love the set up and it is probably the most fun bike I have ever ridden!

Let me know when that hankering becomes necessity.

why? are you stocking some NOS Eddy Merckx Columbus MAX framesets? i'm in

Sick frame.

Where can i find a decent wheelset for a lo-pro with a 28" rear and 26" front wheel? I know where to find a H+Son set. But it's pretty pricey and deep v's like that aren't very classic looking...

Well, you can search for '650c' here on the forum, for a start..
Mavic Mach 2 / Open Pro or something alike.

Old one, posted a while back....now written off due to collision


New one....hopefully to remain collision free.

Very nice.

Is someone gonna organise a lo pro ride?

Edit - fancy dress theme - clowns and whores?

Prostitutes with low cut tops, and clowns to represent 'funny bikes'. I'll be wearing drag.

that's a bloody good idea!
↑↑ noice Aende Gav86

already had one a while back lopro loko or something like that I missed it but would be up for a second one!

I've got nearly new 32h 700c/650c Open Pro rims coming up for sale as soon as I unlace them from the hubs

I'm happy to help organise / lead, but I'm not taking it on on my own.

Provisional -

"Funny Bikes / Funny Riders - The Lo Pro Ride"
Themes - Men dressed as prostitutes with obligatory low-cut top. Clowns of both sexes.
Date - Sunday 20th Feb (not many football fixtures and there's too few forum rides so get on with it)
Start - Cavendish Square
End - The Britannia on Victoria Park Road
Route (very rough) -
Cavendish Square
Oxford Circus
Picadilly Circus
Circus, 27-29 Endell Street, Covent Garden
High Holborn
Holborn circus
Ludgate Circus
St Katherine's Dock (walk? / pub?)
Cobbles through to Narrow St (cos clowns are silly as is riding on cobbles on a bike with 100 psi)
Limehouse Cut
Stratford Circus (E15)
Angel Lane (see Westfield!)
Forest Lane E15/E7 (cos it's long straight and fast)
Wanstead Flats (cos they have a circus there once a year and it's open and flat with wide roads and no sides roads - put yer foot down for 5 mins!)
Harrow Road E11
Cathall Road E11
North Side of the Olympic Park
Victoria Park (cos they have a circus there once a year)
PUB - The Britannia

I'm in for this for sure.

*considers buying lo pro*

cheers

mazin

So tempted to come over.
I never even actually been to GB..

+1 for sure, wicked idea Jeez

Here's mine, I'm still in the process of trying to decide if i should keep this and convert it or sell it and build a more modern track bike, I can't decide, really pissing me off, along with other forum users i bet

any way...



if i keep i it will look a bit like this



or this

say firm "no" to pictures # 2 and 3

If scorch doesn't take my rims and tyres, I've got everything you need to convert that to clinchers to make it a more practical daily driver.

Depends how much that will cost

last 2 pics are not serious obviously, just rough sketches, use your imagination....

Black Open Pro 32h 700c/650c with Conti GP4000 tyres and tubes, £70 posted for the lot.

My mess of a Lo Pro. Commuter setup:

bargain!!!!!!

will that be just rims?

Not wishing to sound rude, but that's a great deal for purely rims and tyres.

i cant telly what you mean by this post....

He probably meant he like it up the ol' lamp post.

well I never built a wheel before...
