Cous-Cous is a great base as you can add basically anything you like into it

Front light bodge using some spare rack mounting hardware after the rubber strap snapped. That was then re-bodged using double-sided tape and a couple zip ties as the mounting hole has stripped. Working amazingly until the light needs charging, then I need some kind of QR solution

A few shots of my Orange P7 ft a banging Leeds sunset. Recently slapped a quick coat of primer on as I got sick of looking at the shitpaint / rusting spots. Very sub-wanker hybrid low-key lock-upable bling

Soma Dream risers

Here's my 2002 (I believe) Orange P7 I recently rescued from the depths of fb marketplace. Very much a build in progress but the geometry is the stuff of dreams, so happy with the way it rides :D Looking to switch to disk brakes when the right fork pops up.

Mine definitely belongs here.

They are soma dream yeah, faultless bit of kit!

Here's a 2012 genesis fortitude I've been building up recently. Couple of finishing touches to add (pedals, maybe saddle) but other than that I love it. Most fun bike i've owned.

Ass saver now 35% more effective.

How are you so sure they aren't that steep on purpose? Just curious
Edit: on further inspection that frames looking pretty wonky, probably are bent lol

Quick update on the Pre-Cursa tracklocross. Had the rear disk running happily for a coupe weeks with the help of the A2Z adapter! Had to drill out the hole to fit the axle, bit of (lots of) adjustment and its now running sweet! No punctures as yet but we will cross that bridge. The bike is tons of fun and it goes anywhere. Got some fresh nobblys and a Sturmey 104bcd crankset on the way for some small ring action ;) Oh and it has a dope rack occasionally. Apologies for the bad pics but had to share the stoke

This is looking like a clean solution, nearly bought this last night till I realised I’ll have to convert to skewers to use it. Think I’ll try both for what its worth though and post the outcomes here.

Now I'm with ya, I see how that could be a pain. Fairplay then, less than ideal but worth a shot purely for the crack (pun unintended). As for the caliper adapter I'm sure there are better alternatives out there, but this is literally an experiment just for fun. My thinking is to use the rear only as a backup to make the single speed safer. The abuse the bike has/will receive will outweigh the stress of the braking force anyway lol.

As above, will be running freewheel. I think for the sake of the cost i'll just try it. Using chain tugs and a proper tighten of the nuts i can't imagine the hub moving in the dropouts. I'll happily inflict a world of pain upon myself, they say the same about riding fixed brakeless...I just wonder if the adapter will fit the threads thats all haha

lol no. Im using a £5 ebay adapter. Now back to my inital question...

Currently in the process of converting my pre-cursa to a ss off-road gravel/ touring/ do everything machine. Running fixed right now whilst i sort my disk brakes. The idea was to go double disk and run a freewheel eventually. Reading further up the thread it seems running a disk on a fixed hub is problematic, my intention was to use one of these thread on adapters on the standard track hub, will it work???

dibs on the Sugino chainring

Preferably black, preferably cheap
anything will do really, beater so not looking for something fancy

i'll have that planet x stem off you if its there mate

Whats that rack?

dropouts are sound mate its just the angle of the photo

Thanks for your advice people

Yeah sorry the bike was upside down mate haha I did say it was on the underside though.
Fair enough then, panic over. My only concern is that the hole is flaky and jagged. Still gonna ride it like, planning on having it blasted and powder coated in the near future.
