Does it do the 11-40 good enough or would you recommend using a hanger extension?

lovely stuff

I would be happy to help anyone get something shipped from markplaats as well!

Can't wait for the full build pics, already looks fun

makes me want to sell all bikes and parts I have and buy this off you

Installed another set of mini v's and a new old derailleur. Have a big ride on Saturday so I my endless fiddling survives the day.

It had a tiagra derailleur with medium cage on before, but that never shifted properly. Now it has a rd-m550, deore lx which looks to be working better. Someday I'll take better photo's.

Looking for a front rack to go on my Dawes drop bar graveler thing. Has to go underneath an AGU venture bar bag. Uses will be for bikepacking mostly. Last year I offered up my (half) frame bag to use for tent storage which lead to small bits and piece going from the frame bag to every other bag available. Call it bad packing strategies. So the rack will house a 2kg tent, maybe a drybag with sleeping stuff or clothes, groceries or anything else nobody mentions on a packlist but still brings along last minute.

Was thinking pizzarack, blackburn bootlegger, pelago commuter, they all seem like forum favourites but I can't choose.

Giving these cheapo mini v's a chance on the Dawes crossy bike. Pain to adjust but felt better than the cheapo canti's I had. Have to fiddle with the pads more because they squeak like hell.

Also trying a different saddle because the cutout in my fizik one is the size of two grand canyons and that does not feel nice.

"bike"

Running 1x9 too, no catcher or guide, never had anything happen.

thanks :)

Nothing better than two rides on a day. One with girlfriend, one with a mate, all three involved bikes I have built.

Finished Altra cx thing for my mate. Like this version better than the version I built for myself.

Peugeot is getting an 11-40 cassette, I have high hopes for this build.

Contemplating flat bars instead of drops too.
Something like this:

Just for general clarity: rd is a rd-m771, bar end shifter is a sunrace slr96. Should work, right?

Made time to sort out the derailleur situation of the dawes cross thing. Looks to be shifting fine again so I now have a bike for proper riding again. Only 4-ish things to finish?

I wanted to go 105 5500 group on the peugeot but I'm not going to pay €40 for a stupid octalink v1 bb. DHL surprised me with a 36t narrow wide and hollowtech bb from ali. So now I can put bulky deore lx cranks on the peugeot with a 9 speed deore xt derailleur. 1x9 it is!

Things needed for peugeot:

• Wheels
  
• Cassette/chain/chainring
  
• bartape
  
• better brakes
  

I live in the north of the Netherlands, Groningen. I scout a radius of 15km for anything I can pick up by bike. Mostly it's been a lucky streak and neurotic marktplaats.nl searching though.

Not an art school, but one floor of an anti-squat building I rent with a few fellow students.

Emptied the parts bin onto it and found out I don't need much anymore. But now the bin is empty and I'm left with around 2,5 to 4 bikes that are unfinished...

Stem and headset took less time than expected, but still crusty. I think this will be a 2x9 drop bar thing: sunrace/shimano bar end shifters, tektro levers and v-brakes, shimano 105 derailleurs and octalink crankset. Most of the stuff is already here.

To do:

• New wheels
  
• Headset refresh
  
• Find octalink bb
  
• Shorter stem
  
  

Another project found its way onto my list.
Cheapo Peugeot alu hybrid. Takes 38mm tyres but room for something more massive. Only thing that won't come off is the stem, going to need for chemicals and manpower for that one.

Plan is something 2x8 or 2x9, probably flat bar.

Cheers. Snowplough was fun but it's now morphing into 9 speed once I take care of the rear wheel!

CX thing for a mate coming along nice. Photo and bartape courtesy of said mate.

I wanted to finish the Mudy Fox mtb version this weekend but the rear wheel did not survive recent shit weather. Seems like the freehub is sticky/toast and as it is a dt swiss 240 I do not have the tools for it. Might have to bring it away or find something else 9 speed worthy...

followed for the fox life, curious to see how this one build up.

Wheels turned out to be easy to install anyway.

Aaah, good shout. Have to measure that.

Parts wise is all possible, but a 2x9 setup seems most likely with what I have in stock now. It's a size 53 frame so way too small, might be something for either girlfriend or build up and sell.

This turned up as well. Cheap frame, no rust anywhere but has been resprayed. Rear spacing is 135mm, is this normal for 700c cantilever frames?
