Dovvles just asked me the same thing.

I'll set up a little index/gallery of them on my webspace and post the link up at some point.

have you got a link to all these photos Roadie?

My first completely-from-scratch build was declared complete on Sunday with acquisition of a magic front wheel from 6pt.

Start:

Finish:

Caption competition:

hate to break it to ya pip, but you may wanna get a nicer camera. that photo is well rubbish.

dixons are doing an offer on some kodak easyshare ones, nuff pixels.

Classic rolling shutter effect, looks like it might be a camera phone.

Some more shots from yesterday.

Look at this fucking hipster:

I understand it's better to chuck them into Flicker, or similar, and link to them...
What I was told, because each thread can only hold so many pics.

I've put them on my own webspace, then linked.

I'll try a couple at a time and see if it works.

Yeah, around 400.

I posted a selection of apx 10 of them in a reply about 2 hours ago, and I got a message saying it needs approval from a moderator (which I've never seen before).

Any mods reading, is this right? Should I just submit them again?

Seriously well done, Olga. I can't believe it was your first time on the track considering how quick you were.

It's perfectly acceptable in her case.

Behold the power of the Hed3

[Edit: This post was delayed due to large number of images, hence repost further down the thread.]

Here's a selection of shots from today.

PM me your email address if you want hi-res versions and I'll send them over. I've got individual shots of most of the competitors, so if you're not in these, PM me the make/model of bike you were on and I'll see what I can find.

Well done to all, thanks to teenslain and his team.

El Diablo,

I hadn't even considered using a wide chain/fewer gears. Will definitely look into that.

The general idea with this is to produce a quick bike that we can use on long rides and perhaps give TT or racing a go, just to get a taste.

I think SJS and Edwardes in Camberwell are going get pretty well acquainted with this bike over the next month or so.

Horatio,

I'll ask Tom to measure up when he gets home. The drum brake may or may not be seized, we're going to open it up and take a look at some point. Otherwise the wheel's in a good condition.

Just about everything but the frame, which Tom (6pt) and I have just acquired:

Current plan is to get as much as we can from the forum, then get her modified, resprayed and built up by people who know what they're doing.

List of parts we need to get her to a competition-destroying standard:

• Fizik Arione, preferably white
  
• Specialized Toupe 143, preferably white
  
• Light weight 27.2 seatpost for pilot, suitable for clamping rear stem to (not sure if carbon is the best idea for it).
  
• White bar tape
  
• Look Keo pedals, preferably red or white
  
• Canti brakes that work with STIs
  
• Bottle cage TT saddle mount
  
• Bottle cages, preferably 3 to 5 matching ones (3 for frame, 1 or 2 for saddle mounts)
  
• 8/9/10sp Shimano or compatible STIs
  
• 8/9/10sp rear cassette (11-25 pref)
  
• 8/9/10sp derailleurs (rear will need to be long arm)
  
• Massive fuck-off chainring on the front, 57, 60?
  
• Toptube/frame bags
  
• A decent set of lights suitable for long overnight rides.
  
  

(If someone's got a whole/most of a suitable group in Campag or SRAM then we'll certainly consider it)

Also need advice on wheelset/rear brake:

Current setup is pair of cantis on one lever and drum brake on the other. We want to replace with proper independent cantis and a disc on a third lever for long descents/emergency crashes. Anyone have experience adding disks brakes to a non-disk frame? The middle set of stays in the rear triangle might pose a problem.

Definitely need a new wheel set regardless, current ones are super heavy and particularly old. Any advice on what to look out for on tandems?

Not sure on hub width, will have to wait for Tom to measure up when he gets home.
