@Sveinung
Cheers guys! -
Which brand/model are those mudguards?
-
would rep :D
-
Lovely concorde!
-
Cool stuff! Really looking forward to the final results!
-
I might be interested in these for a bike which I don't even own yet. So if they're still here in a couple of days and you'd be willing to post to Germany lemme know :)
-
If that is so, why doesn't he show them on his website?
-
Thanks for remembering! These are really nice indeed. However, having been bitten by the fixed bug I need my bike funds for other projects... glws!
-
Meh, I know this thread is all about functionality but I really dislike the look of alfine cranks :/
-
Which sub 100€ track/SS cranksets, if any, are tester approved? Tempted by the RD2 messengers https://www.bike-mailorder.de/sugino-rd2-messenger-kurbelgarnitur-schwarz?number=029892002531&gclid=Cj0KEQjwpZO_BRDym6K_nMye7cEBEiQAVA7RaJ-TSDu7hQmnJuquBHyEmVOnslUZzrkmu4gjmPnrR-oaAojH8P8HAQ Are they any good?
-
jokes aside, I think the pic on the page before shows the final setup. The second one is potatoshopped by tijs. I've since given up on the 50cm frame, twas probably a stupid idea. Heldrings alu pista on the other hand...
-
Nah bruv, dead serious. This is the 'before' picture before the sp was cut.
-
Is the sugino pista crankset any good? this one right here https://www.bike-mailorder.de/sugino-pista-track-kurbelgarnitur-schwarz?number=201412121030PF4&gclid=Cj0KEQjwpZO_BRDym6K_nMye7cEBEiQAVA7RaKnDueFP6Y3aee-HzgIF46mqP9QCNlMoKD9s7L-tY04aAgs88P8HAQ

Frame sold acc to @Kobe 's pedalroom
-
True, it'll probably look like I stole it from some little girl. Or like @t0-ster 's principia (no offense I actually kinda like it ...). Makes for a weird kind of symmetry with the forks :D
-
Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, you're probably right. Judging from the fact that the crack developed on the top side of the chainstay I reckon that it was caused by braking/skidding so I've only used it in crusining mode lately which isn't as much fun anyway... I really like the original paint as it has faded in some spots while still being shiny. New paintjob is not an option!
-
Is it a stupid idea for someone who normally rides 55-57 to get a 50cm track frame to set it up as a beater/replacement bike while his other bike is getting repaired by a framebuilder? I could get an old gitane for cheap moniez, TT is 52 cm and I'm tryin to convince myself that it might just work with a long seatpost & stem + risers. Not sure if desperate or opportunistic tho...
-
Thread from the dead I know but I was wondering whether this has sold. If not, would you be willing to sell the NDS TA specialites crank arm as the cranks are mismatched anyway... Looking for a single nds TA specialites crank arm in this length.
-
Cheers! I'll probbly get it repaired, just not sure what do with it after the repair since the chainstay will be bare metal. Also I can't get myself to send it to the framebuilder right now, since I got some other stuff to do atm and I also want to enjoy it for a couple more days/weeks before I'll have to go fixed gear cold turkey...
-
Fitted the Michelin Classics. I also temporarily fitted the campag crankset so I can work on the TA cranks and polish them up. Made a TT protector out of brooks bartape and shimmed the seatpost cause it slipped and wouldn't stay at the correct height. I'm still bummed out about the crack in the chainstay tho :(

Nah, the forks are just turned by 180° and the cockpit is mounted incorrectly...
