That barber is ticking all the boxes.

Bland.

What is the subfloor, timber or concrete?
Failure could be caused by;
Not sealing the existing adhesive (new adhesive dried out before curing).
Not removing sufficient of the existing adhesive to create space for new.
Walking on /moving the tile before the adhesive had cured.
Non flexible adhesive used on flexible substrate.
Shit adhesive.
Ineptitude
Karma.

Nice. I'd forgotten about William Lennon.
I'd stumbled across them years ago while looking forvtrad cycling shoes.

Seriously tempted. From Pinterest it looks as though they make a lot of other designs. I might see if I can visit them next time I'm in the Peaks.

+1 on wall and site prep.
Seal the wall.
Make sure your platforms/ladders can get you to all the bits you need to get to before you start.
Really sharp scissors and a Stanley are essential.
An assistant who can pass up the pasted-up drops, move ladders and won't get upset when you shout at them is also good.

You have more time than you think.

SPD Birkenstock.

I think a narrower chain will work, the chain doesn't engage with the smooth pulley wheels, so it shouldn't bind on those, the pulley plates will be a little further apart than a 3/32 RD but it'll probably work. It probably wouldn't the other way around.

I have a 4 speed Simplex 51 (model after TdF) - but that is marked 2.38 -so not a 1/8" chain - but I think they still made them in both sizes.

Sloping picture frame?

Should be fine, put rack on first, then mudguard, use locktite.
Some racks have eyelets to mount guards to the rack - which is better than relying on one eye imo.

Agreed. I don't take too much stock from what kit Pro riders used, even now. There's a long history of custom frames painted in another manufacturer's colours and disguised parts. When the pros refuse to ride something (Delta brakes) or insist on something (Coppi and other Italian riders with Simplex) it is significant.
They could also be very resistant to innovation, French Cyclotourists were using aluminium cranks and cable operated front and rear derailleurs with a full spread of gears in the 30s. The resistance to new technology wasn't just due to sponsorship or race rules but racers' superstition and prejudice. The obsession with chain tension is a case in point. The double cable on the Juy51 was to address this non-problem,
the cables joined above the chainstay and only one ran to/from the shifter.
As my frame has the double roller and an integral Simplex rear hanger, I can't think how else it would have been equipped- and anyway I have the derailleurs and double shifter all in unused condition (which was far from easy) so it's moot 😊.

Here's another page from the Dancing Chain describing the Juy51's cables.

Crusty rock.

T-cut?

^ couldn't agree more. As are pavements.
Mixed use paths >>>>>

Rioja Daruma.

Yeah.
That's the thing with an integrated 'constructeur' approach, that chainstay braze-on for a Cyclo (or Nivex) derailleur becomes obsolete.
It's kind of glorious though.
Ed committed to a 46ish chainring with a braze on FD hanger but the way he's spec'd the bike shows he's thought it all through.
Deciding between future flexibility and integrated neatness on a custom frame is an impossible dilemma I'm not likely to have to confront. Unfortunately.

Ha. Yeah.
😂
Brother from another mother.

Dunno when Ed started using that Avatar (I haven't been on the forum for years) I've used mine since I joined.

Yeah. I was deep in the hypothetical.
Ed's has internal TT brake routing so that would have been decided at the early design stage.
Bike is beautiful, and when I saw it on Pron it immediately made we think of Routens (hadn't yet seen the crown etc) which has got to be good.

Herse chainset it lush.

Oh. The light's in the way.

Nevermind.

Like this?
Really elegant and with the lower Hellenic stays would work with the cantilevers on the normal side of the stays.

(I commented with this pic on the Pron thread - didn't realise it was Ed's bike).

+1 for Brookbank Dry Ceaners.

It's my local, alterations and jeans repairs are proper too.

I've had those Mafac inverse levers for years. Decided I needed to build a Frenchy style city bike - around the levers.

😏

It is! Although I think it's VO.

(Hi there. -I've been out of circulation for some time)

Alternative to Paselas for that ^^^^^?
I can get 28mm wired for <£20, but I already have Paselas on two other bikes.

I think a stiff canvas bag would look good, Porteur style.

@Sparky what's that great front rack, I keep seeing it?
