bad rads ultimate slave from around 2009 I believe?
-
why would one post his own bike here?
because this isnt the shit porn thread.
-
the fact that geniue ellipse wheel was stripped to rim and then drilled and relaced to a Phil Wood is just applaudable
Pretty sure thats a deep v with ellipse stickers. Ellipses are 20h, and that rear has even spaced drilling and 32 spokes, so there is no possible way it is and ellipse rim.
Still shit no less, if not worse hahah

yea its not ego, tapers are different to ego tubes
-
Anyone heard any horror stories from these? keen on a set for my HHSB
-
Problem with the brake path is the decision to mount the seat stays so far down the seat tube without thinking through what kind of brake would work best with that angle.
tl:dr - disc brakes
Yea we had a completely different design for how the rear brake was to work, A small tube through the seat tube and a slot cut in the seat post, so The cable would run up the wishbone,
But it never quite happened. I guess building frames in your shed never goes according to plan. haha. still works this way, just looks ugly. This bike was never ment to be pretty. Otherwise I would have just built something similar to what i already have. there is no fun in that.
Tl:dr FUCK YEA BIKES, I would be riding if I wasnt stuck at work.
-
sorry but
Fair enough I feel. This is the internet and when building this bike I knew many people would hate it, hence I love it so much more.
It rides incredibly though, Win in my book. Ive had my time with bikes that look good, Much more fun to ride bikes that ride good. or Have both!
-
A friend of mine has started building frames, So I asked him to build me something. Its a columbus max singlespeed cross bike / daily city bike.
Still have to get it dialed in and tidied up. Enjoy.
-
maybe if he focused more energy on pushing on the pedals instead of pulling on the bars he would have actually been fast.

GOOD NEWS!
44cm (42cm ctc) ordered from wiggle are COMPACTS!
Wooooo!!!!!
scratched the shit outta them trying to get them into a dura ace stem but all good!
Going to strip the black anodising off the clamp area and put the on my full dura ace 7700 roadie.
-
Pic of that full bike!
about a year ago it looked like this. It now has full dura ace 7700. Im just waiting on a few things and need to give it a good clean and then will take some photos of the finished product.
-
The stem may be scratched but the cap is new!
Thanks Noca! such a sweet product!
-
what about mounting the levers on them. that very first picture in this thread is my ideal lever bar stem alignment,
is that possible with the dedas?
-
Is anyone after a set of spotter bars in 42? Got some for sale soon.
can someone please explain the difference between the deda piegas and the spotter bars?
-
This is the email I received last night 13/03/2014 , From James @ wiggle customer service.
Hello Grant
Thank you for your email.
I have checked the stock in this case and I can confirm that these are indeed the compact shape in this 44cm size.
I apologise for the confusion in this case, please let me know if I can be of any more help.
So there you go. that was a few emails after he told me they were the anatomic shape as stated on the website. I then emailed him again and asked if he could please have a look for me and he came back with the above email.
I will be ordering a set of 42cm piegas for my track bike and a set of 44cms for my roadie. I will report back.
Anyone have a picture of Deda Piegas with dura ace 7700 levers? Please? Cheers
-
Just before I buy some Nitto M106, is there anything (other the the Soma's) that come in silver?
Jezz, just looked at the price. shouldnt be too hard to buy some Deda Piegas and strip and polish the anodising off?
-
According to wiggle (after a few emails back and forth and me convincing them to actually check there stock, and not just telling me what the website says) I have confirmation that the 44cm Deda Piegas are compact!
-
Perfect! Im terrible at searching on here. Thats the exact thread I was after.
-
Have just emailed wiggle re 44cm piegas being compact.
Will let you know when I get a reply. if they are im throwing down an order for two sets. Might have to polish one set though as the black isnt going to look too flash.
