Here's an ATB for BareNessecities viewing pleasure

Congrats! Custom cranks are sooo good!

Thanks for the input! I´ve started hunting for a SOMEC panto fork on Ebay. I'm wondering if it's NOS as I cant find any signs of threads in the head tube, and there should be for this time (as I'm guessing that thread-less wasn't an option at the time?).

Also the details on that Air...

The combination of carbon and aluminium must mean that you pretty much get all of the down side of both materials and pretty little of the up sides?

Pretty obvious now that he's a robot sent back from the future to destroy us. I hope this is already in the conspiracy thread

Hi, I have a paperwhite 3(7th generation) Kindle and I'm looking for a new cover.
I bought one from Waterstones maybe ten years ago where the Kindle is "glued" to the back of the cover. I'm looking for something similar beacause I'm not a fan of plastic fittings that break sooner or later.

Any ideas?

AHH it's maybe for lose cable guides! I hadn't even considered that. The fork is Tange prestige so it couldn't be an original? I haven't unpacked yet as I'm moving it to the workshop where I store my n+1+1

What I've seen of the workmanship is really impressive, especially the rear dropouts, not an ounce of superfluous brass.

Hi, I bought this locally. It's missing cable stops on the top tube but I'll try to get that fixed. Planing on painting it and was wondering if you guys have any rough estimation on which kind of decals to use.
Planning on white pearl with fadez so maybe the pixelated decals even if they're a bit too modern?

Yes to couplers, the world needs more coupled bikes !

Something like this (I'm obviously not going to quit my day job to follow my dreams of illustrating technical manuals)?

Thanks all!
The frame is currently missing the cable guides for the rear brake so that will have to be taken care of firstly, wich means that it might take some time, not enough frame builders in Stockholm unfortunately.

@general_greyharbour the problem is that I'm not that competent:/ but I'll do my best! Any suggestions for pearl spray cans?

Don't know if this is the right place to ask but I'll give it a shot.

I've just won an unpainted Somec -frame and I'm thinking of doing the repainting myself. I've previously been happy with what I could accomplish with Montana cans, but for this I'd want a base of pearl white or pearl very light grey like in the picture below.

Is this even possible with spray cans? Would matte silver ->white ->fade give a similar effect?

Not porn worthy in any way but I did learn a lot!
I will redo the handle to even out the dark patches and get both sides symetrical. At some time I'll probably redo it from scratch.

The blade is a Lars Fält-knife with a handle in pear.

Looks great! Did you ride it with any weight in the box, might account for the twitchyness?

Give me a shout when you want to try your hand at a longtail-cyklotruck!

How about something that attaches to each of the cable stops on the down tube and with a bungee to the click mount? Maybe to much stress for the stops and bending work?

Narrow minded I say!
Except from the rules of Gravel bi-/triathlon:

GM 3.2 Fixed gear bicycles and recumbent bicycles are prohibited.
GM 3.3 All other bicycles currently allowed under the competitive rules are allowed.
GM 3.4 Bar ends must be plugged

Didn't know if this should be here or in the Functional thread. Anyway domestically welded, heavy af and with a SRAM/Sachs 7-speed hub for my sins.

RIP Meat Loaf

I realised that this hit me harder than say Bowie (who's music I seem to have a more intellectual connection to).

+1

The only way to solve this is to go on a soul- searching bikepacking trip on the Seven to Stockholm, and upon arrival taking in the sights and selling it to me, and finding peace (I can give you a Trek 830 frame as partial payment thus adding to metal balance).

Golf upcycle!

This is 👌. Also more Finnish tires aimed at the ice-apocalypso.

Hadn't realised that the all road frameset was+3000 GBP...

That blue inkblot is really nice (I'm not usually a camo fan)!
