  • That'd be ideal.

    Then the orłowski just needs a chain set and saddle and it's pretty much complete.

    Yesterday Jammy suggested I could go 4 cross spoke lacing and polish the spokes. Might be pretty cool I reckon, I threw a silver wheel on the Pendle for track today and I think it looks good, polished should be even cooler with all the chrome.

    That puts the Pendle just a seatpost and nice drop cockpit away from completion.

  • do you need track drops on the pendle? I recon a pearl + sptr/deda bars would look hot

  • do you need track drops on the pendle? I recon a pearl + sptr/deda bars would look hot

    I second this.

  • If you ever want to part with orlowski then I dibs it, this frame deserves to go back to its hometown

  • Today I was told I can't bring the Pendle to herne hill again until I get some 19c tyres!

    Certified too tarck for track.

  • 19? 23s not allowed?

  • Guessing its a clearance issue, i've ridden with 25c at HH

  • Yes this. Coaches we're having a good (and good natured?) talk afterwards

  • That expand why Indra shrink a bit in that Instagram photo at Herne Hill.

    Yeah, they said had we been going faster it would have touched when I moved up the track.

    Yes this, I felt a bit bad when the coach said if he'd noticed it before I wouldn't have been allowed to ride.

  • Perhaps change the fork?

  • Buying a cheapo front wheel and one of those £10 open corsas from Planet X would probably be cheaper and look better.

  • Maybe it's just the thought of using 19mm tyres that freaks me out a bit :-/

  • I'd only use them on the track, I've got some wide rims for the road.

  • Yesterday I also rode the orlowski!

    Forgot how fun it is, also nice not having to worry about crazy clearances.

  • And crashing into me

  • Fun is not having to worry about crazy clearances.

    ftfy

    "Welcome to the New World"

    ... still got mad love for the Pendle

  • Nice collection...! :)

    That Pendle, love it. Please do not crash. I'd be a bit sad. Though you'd be more sad no doubt :)

  • And crashing into me

    I saved your life :)

    Nice collection...! :)

    Thanks J, I love it too.

  • Maybe the answers to just get new forks Indra? Ryshartski (that's definitely spelt wrong but you know who I mean) or orlowski? Do them for like £100 apparently, someone on the forum got a set and they were built and posted within a week

  • I spoke to duke about it yesterday, he said Orlowski do MAX for £120 but I like these forks and cba to get another set chromed, I've ordered a vittoria open corsa 19c now anyhow. for £9.99 it's a much cheap solution so I'll see how that goes.

  • nice not having to worry about crazy clearances.

    innit, mad slack

  • I've ordered a vittoria open corsa 19c now anyhow. for £9.99 it's a much cheap solution so I'll see how that goes.

    Stick with that for now, if you're getting into track, get a wheel build (tubular even) for track.

    Much easier than having to swap tyres every time, or check tyres before taking it on the track to stop contamination.

  • I did talk about getting tubs built up for track and it'll probably be done eventually. I'll have the wheel I use now spare when I build up the new set so can just use that.

    I think there might be some old road tubs upstairs in the shop, could just grab some novatecs and rebuild them pretty easy when I need to.
