SS using Shimano cassetee mountings.

In what way?

Looks good imo and fit for purpose.

Why build a frame specific for a 'purpose' if all you're gonna do is wedge the saddle down as far as possible. Slope the top tube or just use a DJ bike in the first place as a lot of them have horizontal dropouts.

I'm all for people having a bit of a laugh and seeing what trick they can do on their fixed bike, but to make a bike specific for what is essentially big wheel BMX seems pretty fucking pointless to me.

The yellow persuit bike deserves to be in here as whoever bought it is too small for the frame or is strangely proportioned

That is fugly

The triplet makes sense as the kids still ride but don't have to rely entirely on their own power. We went on 50mi+ rides as kids on the back of a tandem, there would have been no chance otherwise.

epicfail.com Quite apt, epic repost.

Not if you put a gloss type glaze over it.

Not certain who you're having a go at here, but I certainly wasn't criticising the van driver. Impact wasn't fast or loud, and wouldn't have been visible in the mirrors.

I can't speak for kowarler, mind, but I was getting surprise rather than hate.

It was directed at pigfarmer.

Best TT/BMX set up ever?

Epic repost, not seen it from that angle though.

Having driven a van for quite a lot of time around London you get used to some noises and don't notice others. Not all van drivers are wankers, you seem to come across as just another car hater.

Does anyone make ceramic plugs? I have access to a some clay and a kiln. I've not seen any before and thought it'd be quite easy to make them. I don't know anyone local with tunnels to test them for me though.

i disagree, i got a halo aerowarrior rear double fixed wheel for my beater, works like a charm, smooth, sealed bearings, decent length axle, with a large amount of threads for the lockring....

Decent axle length, for your particular frame. If I were to put the wheel into a 130mm spaced dropout then I'd have to squeeze the dropouts in to make it fit. You can't get 130mm spaced axles from Halo which is a bag of shite imo. Squeezing the dropouts inor out puts unnecessary stress on the frame which can cause the welds to crack.

It's my first experience with a Halo hub and it's not a good gone. I've had friends strip lockring threads when everything had been installed as it should be. The hubs were replaced pretty quick which is good.

I prefer making my own. Getting custom done for me never feels that special

Ooooh, you almost got me there. Dunno why but it's easier for me to read sideways the other way

Oooh it's Horatio

Fortunately, the Pina with the Halo rims has Mack hubs.

I fail. I cba to look close enough.

And DiCaprio? And what looks like a derp version of that weird head thing on art attack

Those Halo hubs are a bit gash. The axle can only be replaced with a Halo item. So if you want to run the hubs in a conversion the spacing is too narrow and you can't buy a wider axle to suit the frame. Also the bearings are shite. Mine are fucked already after 4months of riding.

Personally I think this would be much better - Saddle and bars in the correct position and matching wheels. Mismatched wheels only works when it's a disc on the back.

Halo wheels? Definite "meh"

... documentary about the therapist.

I read "...documentary about the rapist." first. My mind was blown. Reading fail.

Baaaad? A mile off straight?

They are wood rims from Cerchio Ghisallo.

*"These robust wood rims are artisan made by Antonio Cermenati in Magreglio, Italy. They are constructed of aged Slovenian beechwood, assembled in thin laminations that are joined by 2-part epoxy in a proprietary process that the Cermenati's have been perfecting for over 60 years.

Wheels made with wood rims have an unmistakable liveliness and exceptional shock absorption, yet surprising strength and damage resistance." *

I see. It's the way that it matches the bar tape and saddle that put me off.

The bent chainstay and the horrible rim colour isn't for me.

Buy a new one or if you have the gear for tubs - stitch it back up. Don't try to stitch it with normal thread - the needle will ruin your fingers and the thread isn't strong enough.
