Still got this. £250 posted

Cheers

Fat tyres are going to look mean!

It's actually green, just hard to tell in the pics.

I like the silver finishing kit but it will eventually go to make way for some bling integrated carbon stuff. The fork only really works with cables inside the bar, so il have to get some stick on cable guides for now. I want to make sure I'm happy with the fit set up before I spend a fortune on carbon bling. (I will add the matching zipp cages for now )

Groupset will be rival axs, I've got cassette and rear mech, just waiting on shifters. I've got an old 10 speed sram red crank that im tempted to use as its so light. But not sure. It might not look right. Half tempted by a middleburn.

Wheels...not sure probably carbon 29er rims. Maybe a Son 28 hub for future dynamo options.

Tyres. Not sure. I've used goodyear connector 50s before and like them.

The old one definitely was.

Not really bothered if it is a catalogue frame though. The price was decent and on cycleschme so probably cheaper all in than buying direct from China. Plus bike shop back up, warranty etc.

Having had a look around, I can't find a direct to consumer frame that's the same.

Should be fun.

Time for another project

Was away all weekend so not much real progress.

I did start playing around with designs for the sofa though (may go wider than pictured, maybe 1500mm). Nothing complicated and made of ply with hardwood legs. Will order some foam and upholster the cushions.

Based on the Hans Wegner daybed, with storage instead of the folding bed.

I think this the plan I'm going to try.

Will think on the cork idea.

Il try to scrounge as much material as possible.

Sweek is looking so good at the mo!

This is precisely what I was thinking. It would raise it up about 3-4 inches at the entrance. So a small step which isn't the end of the world.

The costs of this are getting a bit out of hand. There doesn't seem to be a cheap insulated option.

My other issue is that the floor is pretty rough. I'm half considering laying down dry sand to even things up a bit, running plastic sheet on top, then a tile like that.

Shall I get my wife to do a gender check on me..? Would that help?

It does a bit doesn't it.

DIY question. The floor slopes down about 6 inches from back to front. Levelling it will cost me a fortune, am I an idiot to just lay down damp proofing/ insulation boards and then chipboard over it, even though it's sloping?

I could just paint the floor, but I really want to insulate it if I can. Best case result is a steady enough temp and humidity to keep acoustic guitars out there.

There are a lot more bikes than that. And they should largely fit on the walls.

The plan is for it to be less of a garage and more of a lounge really. I've got a big shed I can use for woodwork etc

I choose not to rise to this baiting

Progress has been very very slow....ie nothing happened for 10 months. But first fix electrics are now in and things are happening

I had a play with biothane for straps. Not a nice material to work with. Strong though

Yep. Cheers. Although. My two year old leaves very little time for making things these days

Yep. There are a few I believe.

Why does cyclescheme take so long?!?!

Bit the bullet and ordered one of these framesets. Should be a fun build.

Can someone explain the rules around insulation and electrics. There's a perfect square patch of mould on my bathroom ceiling. Went up into the loft to figure out what's going on and here's what I see.

Shifter and brake lever.

Well used. Hoods worn and one is fraying a bit, buy still fully functioning. £80 posted

Yeah. That was great
