to you or the bike?
My knees mostly but perhaps the bottom bracket would be subject to undue stress too?

Ah I see. Should be able to get a replacement soon enough. If however I was to ride on it for an extended period of time would it be likely to cause damage?

I stripped the pedal threads on my non-drive side crank arm. I have a spare but it's 2.5mm shorter than the drive side. I have a long ride this weekend and won't be able to get a proper replacement till next week. Would riding with a 2.5mm difference feel weird or cause any problems? Ta

Lucky you, when I was arrested I was only given drinking awareness leaflets to read in the cell.
You're lucky. All I got was a poo in a plastic cup that someone had used to block up the toilet hole in the ground. I wasn't given it though, I found it.

I'm going to tell you the same thing I told Gene Roddenberry when he asked me who should play the blind African American engineer on the enterprise.........Lou Gossett Junior

^^^^^^^^Looks great
Quick question, what's the done thing regarding shorts? The seem a little harder to track down than vintage Jerseys. Do most people generally wear regular ones or get vintage ones over there?

Worth bumping too new page.
Just read this on Dad Are the Original Hipsters. The last line made me snort coffee down my nose.
Your dad was into cycling before you were and he’s got the bibs to prove it. Seated atop a Brooks throne, he was a Campagnolo-king of the streets that downtube-shifted his way to hero status. He gave pedal-honies hot pants every time he paused his cadence to flash them a velo-stare. He could field dress a bike faster than most could fix a flat. And, the only performance enhancing drugs he ever needed was a cold PBR after crushing a century ride.
So hipsters, next time you’re asshole deep in your spandex while struggling up a mountain-monster and swearing you’re going to quit smoking American Spirits, remember this…
There’s only one thing that your dad rode harder than his road bike… -
Something similar perhaps?

I can't quite get my head around how he's going to ride this. Could someone draw in the parts that might be missing please?

What the fuck is an Igalop?
iGalop = some sort of horse riding simulator.

Just finished my L'Eroica bike a while ago. Apologies for the multiple pics, I'm quite the proud parent :)

Looks like he had a fake account set up to offer close to asking to make it look like a good deal. But deleted it when he was rumbled. -

but I worry when people seem not to realise they are being silly.
Why?

v brakes & sprints?
Just a confusing build...
Clearly for mud sprinting.

....and why did my 'Blades of glory' quote not receive the attention I felt it deserved? :[
Well, I thought it was great. I immediately repeated it to my girlfriend who also loved it. I then posted it as my facebook status. It has revieved 4 likes so far. I will keep you updated.

In your opinion, but you might not have sufficient detachment to have an opinion worth listening to on the aesthetic question.
You seem to have proven that a bike built on the piss can be ridable (although we all knew that anyway), but don't kid yourself that you have dome something that anybody else will be interested in, except as a circus side show.
Well without wishing to engage in some sort of verbal back and forth on the internet I would suggest that with this post you have adopted a needlessly confrontational and obnoxious attitude towards the OP's project. He stated on a couple of occasions that the true purpose of the project was to investigate the prospect of further applications for the technology employed..... and also because he thought it looked good. Bear in mind he never posed an 'aesthetic question' or asked you to listen to an opinion on one.

Surely I can't be the only person on here to find Testers 'interesting but stupid' attitude incredibly painful?

Tires
Okay, got to get some tires. Currently got 20mm tires but reckon it'd be bit foolhardy to tackle gravel roads with them (despite finding them very comfortable) Do you think I'd be best off changing to 23mm or 25mm?
