Some artistic licence taken with blood. I really was only barely scratched as the rain made everything so damn slippy.

The latino guy just smiled the whole time.

Just started riding my aero track which is 48-17, which is a big change from my 48-19 which I have been riding a lot on my steamroller. I feel like a pansy finding 74" grindy. Need to get some miles in on this new ratio.

Orange is where it's at.

Really great looking Ribble and KHS frames.

And that mint Peugeot with NOS wheels for less than £200 was a super deal.

Worth twice the price.

I'm proud of my LFGSS spoke card. Gotta represent on the streets of NY.

This '98 KHS aerotrack I have been in the works for over a year. Finally got rid of the shocking stem that it came with, and replaced the cinelli pista bars and their odd diameter clamp area with B123AAs. When I tried to remove the champ grips from the old bars I ripped a whole in one of them, so am waiting for some replacements from Ben's Cycle. I've also replace the FSA-HT plasticey black headset with the Tange Levin.

Behind is my cousin's 62cm Steamroller, we managed to find it for $420 at Jenson USA.

Faceplate shouldn't be touching the body of the stem so not a problem.

Thomson ones get pretty close to touching

Was there a space with the old bars? What is important is that the curved area on the stem and faceplate are touching the bar everywhere. If you have the wrong size bar for the stem, it'll only touch at a few points.

Some stems don't close always have the faceplate and stem touching.

True.

I bought some pretty high end hex keys recently, and only wish I'd invested sooner. Quality tools encourage quality work.

Heres a starter kit.

Thats a sweet Pinarello she has

Just got home from a 3 day ride from NYC to Boston with a group of messengers from NY.

First day was around 120 miles from Harlem to Hartford, Connecticut.
Second day was around 80 miles to Providence, Rhode Island (damn the hills in between)
Day three was a speedy 50 miles into Boston

All in all a lot of fun.

Non-NJS Levin is pretty great for the money, looks good too.

Good looking indeed. It is a really well make shiny piece of kit.

Any update?

Sorry to bring this up from the dead but I've got a plan brewing and I'd like a bit of forum feedback.

Do people want full mudguards for maximum dryness or small easily removable ones?
Would a compound curve ( add significant value to the product over a flat blade | ?

I am in the market for some nice mudguards. Only ones which I really like at the honjo hammered ones. However wood ones do seem appealing.

For wooden mudguards, I'd be interested in small and easily removable. A compound curve would be great, but I feel it would add a lot to the manufacturing process and hence the price.

I just received the Tange Sekai Levin NJS headset, and have to say agree with louisc in saying that the seal ain't great. Not sure the difference between the NJS and non-NJS models.

Very nice work.

The logo reminds me of the old train signs.

Just got my results. Thank god I am finally done.

Now just wish I could get a job.

SJS and I are talking about it.

Basically it comes down to what their shopping cart software supports. We both suspect it will be open to the world. I'm not sure that's much of an issue providing you all are kept informed as to when they become available on the site.

Great job VB!

Fingers crossed then can send it to us LFGSS peeps in the States.

yeah I did saw that, can't find a way to get it deliver to the UK thought, seemed to be a little wider than cinelli

If anyone is interested, I am state side and don't mind ordering a few and sending them to the UK.

Everyone got annoyed by the new one, only in oversize clamp (31mm) and only in black! [Cinelli Priests]

A nice alternative is the Nitto Jitensha, designed by and sold exclusively Jitensha Studios in Berkley, CA and made for them by Nitto.

Hmmm. Tempting. Think I may bid on it.

... and of course a cheap B17 saddle I managed to get for only £35 despite the recession...

Where did you manage to find it at this price? A year ago I managed to get one for £25 online, but recently the price has been a lot higher.

At the track in Dallas TX it is common to see TT protectors made from wrapping clear tape around and around the tube building up like a 5mm thick wrap.

I was impressed by how good it works if you do it carefully.
