Current Projects chat and miscellany

yup

very good... as you were : )

Winter roadie is nearly complete. All parts from parts bin.
(it was too much of a bargain to pass up)
Need to index, needs a new chain. Too tired now to finish.

Collected these...

and these forks...

for this...

Just need to order some Highway One drops, a BB, cassette and chain... Then probably go for black DSP tape.

Wheels are set to be cosmic elites for the time being, may get a pair of something more practical for general duties though.

Gonna be mega!

Please just put a 700c wheel on that.. this looks ridiculous...

The $$$ required for that doesn't play into my poverty spec build. Have a DP18 to formula front wheel but this is way more fun. High BB on the cursa means there's no practical problems.

Just started a new project, my most extreme yet: http://www.flickr.com/photos/quality_vintage_bikes/sets/72157638146805204/

Risers and twin Hed 3?

Mega!

For the wheels I would prefer to go with Zipp. The frame came with an incomplete Zipp 3000 wheel, unfortunately in the wrong color (red). I might be able to get my hands on some Zipp 440 wheels, not super sexy, but they will set off the frame nicely. Seeing as the fork is threaded, I would prefer something quill when it comes to bars.

Modern crabon with Zipp decals for convenience?

ah, wolves in the throne room?

they are awesome

Zipp disc rear and one of these up front:

Precisely. It's the only way with that frame. Disc should ideally be a 950

Shame I sold those black Zipp 3000 wheels a while back.

Looking for the lowest profile clincher *tyres I can buy online without spending silly money? Won't be skidded on. The less branding the better.
It'll be going on an Omega V.
Thanks

Is that Dov's CAAD?

^^ H+son tb14?

Just picked up the BLB from Armoutex.

And now in pearl gold! It is much shinnier and better looking than my photos:

Next step is headset, lung lining and Columbus stickers application

nice boxes

The paint was well gone.

A couple of years of use and 'abuse' but no dents at all so it went for a powdercoat.

I wanted to know what that Pearl Gold RAL looks like in the flesh so that's why I got it done - the frameset is not my size so will be listed in the classified shortly. I need to think of a price too.

New Tange headset in black with sealed bearings going in tomorrow.

I would like to line the lugs in black - does anyone know which paint / brush I should use?

Cheers

Steel is real also in gold.

I don't suppose you saw an orange and white frame knocking about anywhere?

I saw a baby pink on with matching pink mudguards, that's all i remember...

^yours?
