Nice to roll in with @Brave and @I_am_Hingis, summer vibes!

We were using a CAM pillar drill to machine out some tubing, we set it all up and presumed the water jet pump had water in it...

Well it didn't, a spark must have jumped from the metal/drill bit, landed in a load of rags soaked in white spirit and became the beginnings of a rather moody fire.

As the fire was doing it's thing we were outside "monitoring the machinery" from the front door, aka having a cigarette and not paying attention to anything.

Wall art, but for now this project is on hold... Possibly on a permanent basis.

Kinda had an accident on Tuesday night in my mates workshop (not my fault but kind-of my fault) involving fire, lots of fire.

Obviously we're replacing the stuff we set fire to so I might be selling the Duratec.

Thanks for the help mate, appreciate it. I've sent an enquiry email, hopefully I'll hear back soon.

Good spot, would have had this if I wasn't building the Duratec, love the tubing set on these frames. GLWS!

Good shout, I'll need to do some translating...

This is all your fault by the way, you should have never let me ride yours, think about what you're doing to my bank account.

I'm after a short gangsta frame, preferably a V2 because I don't want to pay a million billion dollarz in hipster tax for a V1. If anyone's looking to move theirs on give me a shout :)

This will be lovely, cant wait to see it built.

Happy birthday @elra x.

We rode over Dartford Bridge.

I'll just leave that there.

Update on the Bianchi. Today will be it's last SPFG.

Yeah I decided I'll use the ATAC's from the Bianchi on the new winter bike build when I get around to doing that.

These are NOS I got from ebay last year, I stockpiled on ROC-S and XC4 ATAC'S before the "great midrange Time ATAC famine" began.

So nice.

We used to use chloroform at work to clean parts but it got banned partially because we kept knocking each other out with it for #lulz but mainly because a colleague managed to knock himself out one day and he smashed his head on a work bench.

Then we moved to benzene but that got banned last year because it's a liquid brain tissue dissolver.

Hasn't done me any harm though. BRB I'm going to go and stick some crayons up my nose #healthandsafety

The perfect rat, GLWS dude!

Haha cheers buddy, ride it hard!

Haha! It's on! (I know you'll kick my arse really)

Regarding the TC, I don't have the room or need to build it, I'll sit on it for bit, might consider making it a rat biek but it's probably too nice. I should sell it :(

lol. I'll end up posting the tube info anyway because I'm a massive geek, as @Rik_Van_Looy, owner of another Sprinter, who convinced me to build this up over the Track Champ said it's going to be super stiff, I should be able to really cane the OKR crit on this.

Yeah one day I'll learn to, really with the day job I should be able to do it no problem but I'd rather let a pro handle this one.

Yea alu, a 7020 mix off the top of my head (I need to get out more) there's a massive write up about the tubing and welding tech printed on the seat tube. Got half a pic of it at the top of the page. I'll post specific info about the tube technology when I'm sober/at home.

Good mechs in SE? Head to Cycle PS Camberwell or Battersea.

My internet diagnosis? Remove both crank arm bolts, clean the bolt and crank threads so they are spotless. Grease them back up really well, tighten to the crimp and hopefully you'll be noise free.

Got some post today, literally, seatpost has arrived. Truvativ XR2 to match the crankset, such coordination.

HAHA! That's @HarveyBrown I'll let him explain. #kinky

@timbre No matey I don't trust myself.

The hubs are currently located at Cycle PS Camberwell, literally in the safe hands of the manager/head mechanic Harvey, who will be hand building my wheels to perfection like he did for my TB14's.
