My octane one Kode has double disc, mainly token again on the rear. It's 135mm on though.

Thanks! And yeah, really chuffed.

No plans re rear disc. It's fixed 120mm, and the rear brake is a token rear brake anyway to comply with German regulations, as are the spoke reflectors.

Had a citation once already and don't wanna deal with that faff again.

Have been playing with the thought of mounting the brake inside the rear triangle for straight cable routing (I am a continental as per before) and aesthetics. Might do that still

I also like my "bodge" for the rack eyelets.
Used the cutouts and a "conical bolt" and some washers and locking nuts.
I don't think I will die a fiery death, will I?

I solved my conundrum with a trick style fork with disc mount for my dropout:

It rides great. haven't noticed increased toe overlap yet.
Annoyingly drilled the forks a couple of mms too high so the mount has to be bent and for that I need a vice.
Saddle has been overcorrected for the increased a-c, that will be corrected soon.

I love it when a plan comes together..

Btw I think 12 is a bit too early, say 14h, there a bit after 15, still 3 hours there and then beers/food after closing 18?

Do you still have the bar/restaurant at/near oderberger straße?
You borrowed me something eons ago but cannot remember what it was. But your name stuck!

Merge m?
In acrobat that's easily done: miniatur view in one file and then drag and drop.
Alternatively there are online mergers.
Let me Google that ffs..;)

Aren't all campagnolo brifters up to 10sp able to do a triple? I remember something with extra clicks and whatnot.

@Brameses of course! Still 'ere?! Aaaaaaages!

@Jay75, @whats the forums favourite meme antagonist tafka Tina Kino?
@salad now?
Come on, there should be more sleddas here!

Great colour. That's not RAL is it?
Frame is real cool...

Size?
Really cool!

There are plenty online convertors

Also more preferred sled because the thought brings a smile to my face. My first fixie crew with 35y/o..;)

It's actually not that far, only 10km straight.
I rarely venture north of the Spree mind.

It's going to be a social ride.
Preferably fixed or singlespeed because l FG SS but don't care.
Bonus sterni for whomever who rocks up in LFGSS CC lycra.

Open for detours, additional pickup points, I am just posting to get the ball rolling.

Hopefully there will be semblance of springtime for outside beers!

Last spamming of this thread for the foreseeable to not distract from the ironmongering bizniz.

To stop spamming Hulsroys thread.

LFGSS Berlin Chapter Meetup to go and visit Kolektif Fahrradmesse and adore IRL (the work of) @Hulsroy and @Tijmen.

https://www.kolektif-berlin.com/

I propose Saturday 25th, beers afterwards/during.

It's in the sticks of Weißensee and I am horribly out of shape but first proposal is Hermannplatz meetup 12? Could do a route oop Norf and pickup people Alexanderplatz or wherever.

Tag anybody, would be nice to get some faces to usernames!

Best, Ruud
(Dutchman in Berlin since 9ish years)

Yes indeed! Don't recall you sleeping over though, but recall the beginning of the beers and strolling around with your young and crazy danish compatriots.
You're not Berlin based though, that was a requirement..;)

And @stelfox,
Don't forget the beers. That's why I have a bottle cage on my city bikes anyway.

Haha, LFGSS Berlin Chapter. Does anybody have the LFGSS CC kit?
Will make a thread this weekend to garner interest. Looking fwd to again explain to my girlfriend I will meet some guys from the internet.
Ive met @Jay75 once or twice too, he has/had a café in Prenzlberg.

I'll chip in, would be nice to meet some familiar forum names IRL.
We ride from Hermannplatz?;)

Some pictures from the web of the fork and the adapter system.
Really looking fwd to tinker time!

In the end after some weird comms with Marino abandoned and life got in the way until by chance I stumbled on some trials forks: inspire arcade.
405a-c, disc, trick style with 27mm offset which is very close to the og 410 a-c, 30mm offset all city forks.
Just got them delivered and they look very promising. 30mm, 700c fits and they have a nifty adapter trough axle system for 9/10mm axles.
Their British outlet on eBay is selling some shopsoiled still for reasonable prices, can only recommend if in the same predicament.
Will need to drill the crown for mudguard and rack, and might have a smart (possibly stupidly suicidal) for mounting the rack.
More on that at the weekend, but very chuffed!

Of course, Gesetz FOUR LETTERS ABBREVATION MAINLY in CAPS, Paragraph X, Absatz Üpsilon.

It's funny how stereotypical the Germans are (Dutchman in Berlin).

I like the phrase "Paragraphenreiter" (informal) / "-wichser" (obscen) for the typ of person that derives pleasure in mentioning and quoting them.

I was asked if I am liable last time on the construction site (architect) by a construction manager, which I still don't know to have taken as a threat (you're fucked because we are gonna sue you) or a compliment to ask if I'm a partner in a roundabout way.
Luckily for me I am not.

Germans even put that in emails (i.A. Name: "im Auftrag") to note specifically that they're not liable.

Talking about the aforementioned I think I should as a precaution..;)
