Are you going to move the Gundersen decal up a bit this time?

Painter is family. Motif is where I currently work. Not going for sale ;)

XL, but not for sale (yet)

I think I'll make a 20" disc for the rear of the BMX to match the trispoke

I haven't included the pile in the basement at work :/

To get the projects rolling, one needs wheels. And after a quick rummage through some boxes, this lot turned up:

I had a spreadsheet with hubs and rims listed and spokes were ordered last week, so now I just need to order a few more rims and dig out the ones stashed in the garage.
Combinations will be:
Novatec road - DT R 460
On One track - Rodi VR17
Ultegra - Mavic A319
Novatec disc rear - Mavic XM319
Formula SS disc rear - Mavic XM319

All will use DT Competition spokes and brass nipples. The A319's are on their way from Germany and the DT R 460's haven't been ordered yet.

Yes. The Asmussen and the Faggin should cover my vintage steel needs. I'll take some photos of all the frames, when I go to the garage next time.

The actual bikes that need sorting:

1. Kona Unit: Need three wheels built - SS rear, geared read and a front.
   
2. Asmussen Max frame: There's a Rival group with Apex shifters with white paddles somewhere along with a black ITM Eclypse and a random black seatpost, so I guess I'm just missing a 26.0 black compact drop
   
3. Merckx: A quite light (1850 grams with a shit powdercoat job) 58 square frame, that's probably going to be paired with a NOS Time Featherlight 1".
   
4. Faggin: Again a nice, vintage frame with a horrible, homemade paintjob. @Hulsroy has given me a nice 1" carbon fork with a Faggin pantographed crown, so this will probably get a nice paintjob and the Dura Ace 7600 groupset that is in bedroom pile.
   
5. GT Aero Edge: Nice frame with great paint and original forks. Will be sold.
   
6. Gold BMX frameset: I've been thinking about making some sort of ridiculous shopper out of it with trispoke and silly bars.
   
7. Pompetamine: I've got a nice black Pompetamine standing in the bedroom. Just need to get the brake hoses sorted and then it's ready for some commuting. There's a Wald basket for it as well somewhere.
   
8. GT Pantera AL: My current beater. Need to pick it up from a friends house, where I left it when I went to the A&E to get my broken jaw and concussion sorted. Might need a few tweaks after that tumble. Watch out for runners...
   
9. Marin Muirwood: Wanted to convert it to 20" front with a huge rack, but that's not gong to happen anytime soon. Will strip it fully and store it for future use.
   
10. Pinnacle Arkose: Has a Rotor/Raceface narrowwide setup with hydraulic Rival brakes. Most of the parts will go on the new fram I'm having built, so this will get a 1x10 Force group with Spyres.
    
11. Fuji Track: Wanted to build a fixed tt bike. Am not going to ride a fixed tt bike. Will be stripped and sold.
    
12. Bellabike cargo bike: It's missing wheels and the rear fork. Needs to go.
    
13. Bianchi: Slightly ratty Bianchi frame, with a nice and sparkly red paintjob. Need to find a matching fork and the build it and sell it.
    
14. Dolan Pre Cursa: Going on a long term loan to @Hulsroy in London. He'll get some parts as well and might have it painted at some point.
    
    

More stuff might appear as the sorting goes on...

I need to sort out my various projects, parts bins and finished bikes. The apartment looks like a mess, the storage room in the attic is cluttered and the garage is filled with all sorts of shit and I need a place to fettle with my motorcycles and my van. So some stuff has to be sold or binned, some projects need to be finished and then I need to finish planning the '+1' from the topic title, which is a steel allroad frame I'm having built by @Hulsroy.
The current state of affairs:

Living room parts pile:


(Someone should finish their shelving project and paint the radiator as well...)

Bedroom parts pile:

Garage:


Didn't get a picture of the storage room in the attic, but imagine a Fuji Track fixed time trial project, a Pinnacle Arkose with faux-wood Deep V rims, a Marin steel mtb and a bunch of rims, wheels and parts piled on top of some furniture and boxes...

I just thought the grub screw might wiggle loose over time and as I'm not planning on using the wheel for anything else, I thought I might use an as permanent solution as possible. Two-part epoxy, a drill and dog point grub screws then?

What's the strongest way of bonding two threaded aluminium parts? I have a hub without lockring threads and some sort of adaptor purchased off @mdcc_tester some years ago. Some car forums mention JB Weld as a permanent fix.

I've been using this: http://www.cnc-bike.de/product_info.php?products_id=1304 (the disc version, though) for a while, and been nothing but satisfied.

Thanks for the reply. My build is some months away, so more fork options might open up.

Ah, nice. I'm having something quite similar built, but the plan was to go for thruaxle front and rear. Did you consider going down that route?

That is really, really nice. Does the fork have any mudguard mounting points under or behind the crown?

Buddha Bikes in Copenhagen just posted this on their Facebook wall:

Once and again there's free play at the shop after hours, and these rat-bikes/frankenbikes are the product of that.

From my broken Syncros seatpost, perhaps?

Ordering time then...

Graphics removable?

Ah, found it...

Intet finalelineup? Italienerne stiller med Viviani i finalen.

His silly moustache was holding them back. Is there an official lineup for the final race?

An invaluable accessory for those of us, who lack the shoulder flexibility to do anything other than front squats
