The Tornado in a somewhat rideable state... ;)

The Moscow-bars are a bit low on it, so I guess I'll use them for something else.. They where just the only bullhorns I had that fitted the Ergostem..

Also, the front wheel has a few cracks (nothing a bit of epoxy can't fix) so I'm a bit scared of going fast on it, but actually it feels allright at 35kph, and it feels a bit weird at low speeds..

I hope this is not a repost..

I like that paintjob on the Vivalo... rainbow is the new black ;)

Too bad it's owned by an idiot...

seat-tube ruins it..

Stupid wannabe RiGi.. and It's not even tight..

there are two different spd cleats, multi release and single.
never had an unclipping with the singles, used to get the odd one with mutli's

I know that.. I only used single release.. Still had unclips when the cleats had been used for some time..

I guess that with multirelease they would have unclipped first time trying to skid.

It's kind of weird with the icarus, and the above Yamaguchi..

Normally when builders do frames without conventional seattube it's because they want the rear wheel to sit closer to the BB and have a tight geometry..

This doesn't seem to be the case with these two, and that makes it only a funny design with no real benefit..

These (reposts) should show what I'm talking about;

Skully; hah.. Looking at the photo it almost looks like the forks are bent.... :) weird angle..

sh!t, those shoes look pretty much brand new aswell.
glue won't shit 'em.
spd cleats will outlast your shoes. fact!
were as time cleats will need replacing a few times.
stick with SPuDs

Crap... When I was riding SPD's I started getting unclips after about a month on the same cleats... So had to change them all the time..

Time Atac's hold out much longer and work fine even though they look worn like shit..

Oh,
New saddle and cranks on the RiGi..

Need to find some blue grips that will not look total shit on the frame - currently using Oury's and they do look like shit.. Perhaps I should just put some horns on it with some funky bartape?

Skully; I was not using multirelease cleats...

They do look wrong.. yes... I'm keeping my eyes peeled for 650c aluminum or oldskool carbon forks that are inside the EU... (because of the annoying fee I have to pay to import stuff from outside of the EU to Denmark.. :/

So now it's getting annoying this shit here.. :)

I can't find anyone that can make a new thread on that grey fork.. So I think I'll put a 1" threadless headset on it and run it like that..

Yesterday I got an almost unused Look Ergostem, even though it's a bit newer than the frame (it's 1 1/8", but who can tell if I use a 1" adapter? :) )

I think that stem will fit the frame just fine.. :)

you know you could get slapped for using mavic super rare starfish crank on a beater?.. just kidding, not too shabby! :)

Yes he could..

I'm looking for a set of those cranks.. he should sell them to me.. :)

Get road-pedals.. Look's or something... :)

Fame at last! (okay, a step on the road to fame at least)

Some girl blogged about me! :)

Tight wheelbase..

Oliver; Nice one... I'm running a 16-spoke Shamal front atm... and I'm 16 stone :)

Like ed says you just need to get used to it...

I ride a fuckin' tallbike in rush hour trafic at times, no problem.. :)

edit; but inner city is always a nightmare, I guess.. The cool thing about cycling in Copenhagen is the nice wide fast bike routes from the suburbs to inner city.

That frame is useless without the original bars.. unless you know someone who can make new ones.

Oh, and the tallbike has been updated with a new set of temporary cranks.

I use oldskool Shimano 600 friction shifters, and just got the matching derailleur.. And perhaps I'm getting a set of cranks as well... So thinking about building it full oldskool Shimano 600, and getting a broken Campagnolo Record-spider for the "chainguide" ;)

hipster!

the yellow wheel weighs about 2,5 kilo?
forgot to check the Batavus lopro tubing

It does yes..

But it's not a bike I'm going to be riding' every day anyways.. :)
Also, it's a TT-bike.. It's not like it's going to be accelerated that much.
