I'd love one of their Ti ones but really would have to move to Alaska to justify it I think.

I think I want one of these ones now. Although I'm
pretty sure I saw on their blog that On-One are working on a fat bike prototype as well.

Got a consultation on Saturday with Jane at chapel tattoo, very excited

One of my mates has a few pieces by her. She's good.

Depends on the rider of course.

But those dirt drops are perfectly set-up for riding trails 'in-the-drops'. The way they are angled forward puts the centre of the riders hands ca 3cm behind the centre of the stem clamp. So its effectivily 90mm or so.

(loads of guesses for illustration, no MrTester, I'm not getting my ruler out)

Actually, I was thinking that because the saddle seems a long way forward on an inline post. Maybe it's the shadows and it's not as far forward as it looks. Bike is still ace in any case.

Rawr!

Also - rider needs a shorter stem?

unharmful, like that all-city, you could try and get both hood lever to run the front brakes, easier when says, signalling.

Ed likes my bike! Oh no! It does have lots of spacers and a silly stem I suppose :-)

I hadn't considered setting up the brakes like that. The Shimano V was only supposed to be a stop-gap but it's actually really good so I haven't bothered putting the Avid Shorties on I have.

Think I've finished messing around with this for the time being:

Glutinous? Eww.

Trackslandering (I think this is what DJ does)

Pretty big guy (6'6" or so at a guess) on a battered, yellow Trek SS at the servo on Lwr Richmond Rd about 21:30 last night. I was too tired to offer more than a grunt but 'hello' if you're on here.

I think that looks pretty good with that hardware actually.

Possible pea

Isn't that the American Singular distributor's bike? Can't remember his name but pretty sure I've seen it on MTBR.

Oh, dooks - you still got the 'screamer? I'm still interested and back in the country now.

I confess that I quite like gold hardware in conjunction with a natural finish.

Intrigued by the idea of spraying the hardware now. If you do it, take lots of pics.

I don't really like the bars. Rest is lovely though.

Phew.

Serious question though: Are you going to rattlecan the hardware? I can't see that working out very well. Or did you mean you were going to alter its colour some other way?

i fancy building an amp, but it looks more expensive than just buying one to be honest..

It's the potential for a fiery death that puts me off tbh. Soldering's not my strong point.

i would, but they show the rather iffy gold/brass eightees horrorshow hardware. rattlecans incoming.

/always had a jones on for spectors. beeyoodiful pieces of work.

They are lovely indeed. Are you really going to rattlecan it?

I'm currently addicted to reading guitar building forums.

This on tdpri is suitably epic http://www.tdpri.com/forum/2011-tdpri-tele-build-challenge/263778-scatter-lees-2011-tdpri-build-challenge-thread.html

My les paul.com has some good stuff - someone building a les paul from scratch in a one bed flat only using hand tools http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/luthiers-corner/129825-barnabys-lp-scratch-build-hand-tools-only.html
kinda makes me want to have a go doing the same thing. I've built a few guitars before in my teenage years and I'm continually itching to build more. Maybe when I've got a spare second in my life again, and no unfinished bikes to finish.

Hobby of mine also. I've built three so far. The Project Guitar forums were always the most useful I found.

Tasty. More pics?

Nice otter, Henners! Looks really good.

I always miss the wrestling...

I used to hang out on TalkBass which was a great forum - friendly, mellow (on the whole), nice people and good technical content. I never found anything as good when I started looking for guitar ones tbh.

Jolly Gardeners in Putney is nicer and has quite a good garden out the front but not sure if they'll let bikes in there.

Arab Boy's a bit rubbish IMHO. Not that I can come tonight or anything though.

I just think you can have a nice classic steel frame. Without skinny tubes and silly quill stems.

Hear hear.
