A bolt meant for a disc was low profile enough

Mine is going to be easy. Both components and size will be the same ;)

That is pretty fucking nice!

The upload feature and my phone aren't friends...

Pulled the Pomperamine out of the bedroom and fitted a pair of Kojaks. The primary problem: The logos are not offset by 180 degrees on 3 out of 4 sides. So much for German quality... Second problem is a lack of space between the rear tyre and the wishbone. Not much room for a mudguard and a bolt head...

Mine has only done 155000 miles. My mechanic reckons it could do 500000, but it's a bit too rusty for that...

VW Transporter T4 2.5TDI. Slowly falling apart, but will probably last til the next MOT, when it will be scrapped.

It was done before your post, no worries ;)
And the bars still look as new.

More hmm...

Hmm...

A couple of Deda Piegas turned up today. 26.0mm clamp area, which revealed that my ITM Eclypse is quite obviously 25.4mm. Fuck. I'm now thinking about having the steerer extended and running a 1" Ahead stem instead...

I'm having an allroad kind of bike built, and I'm trying to figure out the hub/fork/dropout choices. I was thinking PolyDrops on the rear with 12mm thru-axle. Forkwise I've looked at TRP, Whisky and Enve with a 12 or 15mm thru-axle and then Hope hubs (or Chris King, if I can find a nice deal on a rear that matches one of my fronts...)
Any other options I should consider?

I won't. Gave it a clean and polish yesterday and brought it to the fleamarket. Some interest, but no sale. Bought a second Specialized trispoke and pondered building it up again.

It's all in Copenhagen. But we've got a big bike fleemarket on Monday, where I hope to get rid of a lot of stuff.

Picking this one up tomorrow:

Not the original fork and missing a seatclamp bolt...

Were you just going to glue in the threaded insert?

So I'm getting a bit tired of this:

But a lot of stuff has been sorted and a few things have turned up, that I'd totally forgotten about including a complete Ultegra 6500 groupset in really nice condition:

On a related note: The Danish Förstemann, @Hulsroy, wanted to start on the track again, so @Simba and me put together a care package for him:

It has to get worse, before it gets better:

The parts for the Asmussen build so far:

Deda Piega 26.0 compacts are on their way from Wiggle, seatpost is still in one of the piles, saddle isn't decided upon yet and the wheels will probably be a set of RS10 or RS20's that's in the attic somewhere. Have some new Veloflex Masters as well, but this being Denmark, the Land of Flint, I'll probably put on some GP4000SII's instead.

The candy shop on the ground floor puts out the empty boxes after closing. Quite useful for sorting parts. Next step is some shelving somewhere for those boxes...

Butter or brass, it'll break anyway, right? ;)

It might be ;) Or I'll pass the frame on to someone who will make the attempt...

Hmm, maybe I could convert the GT to track dropouts?

Some of the forks surfaced yesterday:
NOS Time Featherlight which will probably go on the Merckx frame (that I still have to dig out):

The nice Faggin 1" for the Faggin frame:

I know I have a full carbon Focus fork, that I was planning on lending @Hulsroy along with my Pre Cursa, but it didn't turn up yet. It'll probably show up the day after I ship out the other stuff for him...
What did turn up was an Ultegra 6600 group, a 105 5500 group, a Dura Ace 7700 group, a random Campa group, 4 Rolls saddles, a Turbo saddle, a nice Controltech 1" Ahead stem in 130mm and a bunch of small, random bits including a nice DMR disc ss hub:

So plenty of stuff to dress up the various frames.
Pulled this one down from the wall as well:


Just needs a wet cloth and some sunshine to bring out the chameleon paint.
There's a big bike fleamarket on monday here in Copenhagen, were I hope to shift a lot of the stuff that's no longer needed.

@Aroogah: I've sent you a pm regarding the trispoke.

I thought we had already agreed on this?
