First roll of Neopan 400 I've shot. On XA2 as usual.

It really, really doesn't.

If chopping up a lo-pro to build a polo bike doesn't constitute a frankenbike, I'm not sure what does!

picking a film up at 11.30, so some time after that.

I'll be in the studio tomorrow if you want to try them on the slide scanner there.

I struggle to get my front end up sometimes

I'm more concerned about a spill from the back end, personally.

I believe this belongs here.

The seat angle would be comedy but it would get your weight right over that back wheel, which is the intention right?

After having a go on it today, I can safely say that you don't need your weight any further back!

possible yes. but itd be weaker. it would add a shitload of weight to the frameset if you wanted the same strength....

plus more welds = more labour.

Not to mention how the seattube angle would be different. . .

why you always act like idiot man

no speed

Repped.

Can't rep enough, actually.

Had a go on the polo-pro earlier. It's absolutely awesome, looks sweet, there's loads more clearance for a buckled wheel that there looks to be in the photos. I literally can't get over how well it works and how awesome it is. I was very sceptical about the whole project but what can I say? It works amazingly!

well yeah, you could...

Right, I shouldn't take the bait but here goes.

Reason 1 - if he wanted to use decent tubing for the bike (like he is), welding it would be very difficult (the main reason most steel frames are brazed rather than welded is because welding them is fucking difficult).

Reason 2 - you're introducing several welds into the tube which will no doubt make it a shite load weaker unless they're perfect - which is quite an ask for an "amateur framebuilder".

Reason 3 - welding edge to edge like that would again being difficult/stupid/time consuming/weak.

Reason 4 - at what point does this become "easy".

Literally everything you post is total waste.

Rock, it is seen as bad etiquette to post your own bike in this thread - post it here instead: http://www.lfgss.com/thread6261-964.html - but as it deserves to be here, I'll post it anyway.

/pedantry

that is stupid, could of easily got a road frame no one will miss then cut the seat post into a few pieces then weld it back together with a bend

No you couldn't.

Wanted: Olympus XA.

I keep missing out on them so I figure it's worth asking here.

Another from the same roll.

i'll get this when i go to work ;)

I was about 200m away but without a camera all day, lol.

expired (2008) fuji superia 800. XA2.

as owned by harry and asm?

I believe so!

what kinda film?

Fuji Superia 800, expired 2008.

Getting some OK results but nothing fantastic compared to other in-date superia 800 I've shot.

not as bad as it seems, about 74GI but if I flip the wheel over onto the 16t I get 85 GI - but that's not practical/a good idea for riding sans brakes (not that brakeless is practical in the first place. . .)

Bought 10 rolls of the same film, just got the first back, really don't like the results yet I'm stuck with 9 more rolls of the stuff.

FAIL.

What do you pro's think? It's an old koga miyata track :)

I think it's not a good idea to post your own bike here.
Current projects is the place:

Just a heads up.

But to answer: I think it should have drop bars or at least wrap the bars you have, the stem is too high, I would prefer lower profile rims, need to get rid of that white chain for a proper one, also the fork looks out of place. . .

Well, you did ask ;)

lo-pro back in business.
