There seems to be several Smocks available, which do you have? Link?

Wonderful bike!

This bike is understated elegance. Can we have a closeup of the seatpost?

This is one of the best looking bikes I've seen in a long time! Love this build, looks like it would suit me fine as well. Only thing I don't love is the fork crow, but whachagonnado.

I have an offer for a great light, but its right at the limit of what I can afford, and so if anyone has something pretty good (Knog Blinder road, Lezyne, etc.) for £50 or less, let me know.

Thanks for the tip, I might land on that, but given import duties here in Norway, I would prefer to buy (used) privately.

Your contribution is valued! (Apart from that GT, what a monstrosity)

Anything battery powered from 200 lumen up. Optics over power, solid build quality over price. May be well used so long as it still works well (battery life good). With those guidelines in mind, I'm interested in anything sub £100.

So many pretty bikes.

Headlight envy. Looks great, fun.

And DuraAce 8sp 7400 @Dammit

Such aero!

See you already got the omega rims, but if you are looking for a spare rim + rear hub (DuraAce 7400-something) I have this for sale (in Norway though!):

Rim has a scratch all the way aroud on the NDS (probs from a misaligned brake shoe). DS looks like new. Likewise with the hub.

Functional!

Nice project!

Such a lovely, understated build!

I found several places selling the OneFive not very cheaply at about €90... But then: http://www.xxcycle.com/busch-and-muller-onefive-iq-30-lux-front-light-165rtsndi,,en.php

That's more like it! Now if I could only figure out why SJS charge £23 for posting the 1,5 W Alfine hub, and £13 for posting the 3 W one.

Love this, great colours, not totally sold on the yellow full length cables.

Thanks! Agreed, I'm on it.

Church!

Finally got around to taking some pics of the German Transporter (VSF budget rebuild):

It's an old VSF Fahrradmanufaktur T400 Rohloff frame that I got cheap at local bike recycler. Built up with V brakes, Alfine 8 rear wheel and suicide shifter (bar-end microshift mounted to quill top). Wheels, Tubus (and a full set of Ortliebs to match), plus some other stuff were aqcuired in a trade with @sykodrama who got my SASS in return. Must have been the longest bike sale mail exchange ever, what a nice chap. Built me a bomb-proof Alfine-XC17 rear wheel, which will be joined with a dynohub front to match in some distant, affluent future.

More immediate improvements-in-waiting include trimming the front (rear) mudguard, cooking up some mudflaps, and figuring out some less rattle-prone attachment method for the front fender. Plastic adapter thing to P-clip on the Tara rack works pretty well, but the plastic thing is def. weak link.

It rides oh-so-smoothly and tracks staight as an arrow, even on the near-worn out Maxxis Crosschecks that I had lying around. Yes @edscoble , there are plans for Compass RTPs in that same affluent future (hopefully spring).

It is also a perfect commuter, if you disregard the fact that my commute is three minutes by foot most days. /csb

Oh, yeah, and it has the slackest magic gear ever. Works.

Looks great!

Maybe it could take pictures of our bikes afterwords?

Well. They are so cheap, I guess the light you get for your money can't be beat. I also bought a set of rechargeable AAA batteries to go with them, to try and offset some of the environmental impact of what must be their horrible production method.

Yeah, I've been told that's where I need to go to get rubber sheets, but there are no stores in the city itself. I guess I need to find some means of transportation to get me 10 km out of the city. Hmmmm.
