Current Projects chat and miscellany

there were some sprint events in my city during the summer for single speed/fixed bikes and they made me realise how much i missed riding mah sweet fixeh.. so i revived it and decided to give flat bars a go (also tried risers, but those made me feel like a negative sail..)

also, here it is in its sprint-guise:

wheels dragging / not spinning fully freely after hub service - assume that means I've put the cone back on too tight

somec elite SX ? completed it, mate

That looks great!

that is ace! all time best steel fork crown.

Yeah they’re cool ent they. Do you know what it’s called?

thanks ! (also @hma). now to ride the thing...

kinda wish I'd sourced a cheap red 10sp group when I had the thing in parts but can live with apex for now. the shifting on it is p ropey though, relative to the 6800 I have on my other bike

idk.. it's this one below, i bouht it from ceeway, but i went to fetch the link and they don't have it listed anymore..

edit: aha! found it. it's an everest c61a. that c64 looks great too.. drool.. (1st gen gazzetta springs to mind) - http://www.framebuilding.com/acrobat%20f­iles/004_FOUR_EVECROWNS2003.pdf

the shifting on it is p ropey though

Sure it’s not user error ;), or derailleur hanger needs aligning or something?

ha! no, it is indexed fine enough just find the feel of apex a bit off. always have - even when it was set up by my lbs ; )

Awesome, seeing it always reminds me of an old bike I used to ride.

ha! no

Er, yes. You bought SRAM when you already had experience of Shimano.

There's a lot to like about SRAM, but nobody ever said it was as slick as Shimano.

this bike is a bit of a monster

That's silly bonkers!
