Ah interesting, yea maybe. On the Orbit the angles look rather normal though.

anybody know why they used to do tri on 650c wheels front and back? Lopro with small front I can somehow see, but small front and back is a mystery to me....

i'ma take a pack many thanks!

never using a toilet again.

Tubus Fly? One of the stays goes up vertically and small ortliebs can be fastened behind that, if you know what i mean...

did you build this up? I'm dreaming of building an actually fast bike myself and two of these frames in size massive are on ebay atm

wow that sounds horrific... I'm surprised they didnt stop the race after somebody died in the water?

😂

did do the bournemouth international tri standard distance this weekend. I know I was warned on here about the bike ride (along a two lane A road open to cars) but couldnt find an alternative race.

Went alright I think! Swim conditions were perfect, water calm and clear. After that things stayed wet in constant rain. The bare foot run up the hill to the transition zone was interesting, and so was sharing a motorway with cars going 70 mph but then again I knew what I was getting myself into! My bike and cycling legs are far from competitive but that too was no surprise.

Happy that I made it through my first standard distance! But gotta say these people are a pretty unsmiling bunch... Maybe it was the rain and general grayscale of the scene?

Love these! Are you sure about the age though? I have one from the 80s and it has a very different badge.

thats extraordinary!

super cool

thats really nice... And now I know what the color on mine used to look like!

Thanks!

There are probably better ways to do this (by mitering the laterals for example) but I used seat stay top eyes and brazed them straight onto the seat stays.

and here blending in nicely among other gates with diagonal bracing

I love how bikes with luggage up front ride like on tracks! Here it is on a short tour to a conference in Cambridge. Highlight was the guy fuelling up his van who yelled: yarr done a bi' o welding aye?

I fried up a lowrider rack for this

Nice one! I never understood why these have cable stops on the head tube?

Thanks for the kind words!

I rode it today with some weight on the rack and it's a joy. I'm surprised these lateral stays arent more common on large skinny steel frames. They completely transform how the frame feels, much stiffer without the harshness of a modern ali frame.

ah i see. very cool!

interesting frame. is that for a 1 1/8 steerer?

also appears to have some kind of boss where the shifters go, maybe for some bolt on cable stop?
