Ah, nice.

(...) the blue is so nice..

It's metallic (/subtly sparkly).

Especially with such a gate as mine.

:)

^Awesome gios!

(...) I still think that a classic frame, with a vintage groupset needs period bars- otherwise it's like going on the Tweed Run in full getup with a Supreme cap on, backwards.

The actual, period correct bars were a real horrid ergo number from 3T. Don't think they would have floated your boat.

So, that also leads up to a question. Was thinking of buying this in silver, 85 mm to lessen the reach (yeah, one of those people). Would match the seatpost, and apollo did a nice number with a quill-to-ahead converter on his latest. Opinions?

NEIN! On a bike with a quill stem you should have classic bars (...)

Modern compact bars must only be used with ahead stems.

You mean like this:

?

Worked, but not overly comfortable.

Pina again, this time around with compact bars by popular request -- Soma HWY One thanks to awesome service from Chris Borneo:

Comfy bars, if a little flexible. Still not 100% pleased with the hoods position, can't get that hawt flat bars-to-hoods transition with the shimano levers. Granted, I think that's the lever's fault. See e.g. :

versus

So, thinking of getting SRAMs or tektros if I ever get around to building up a fixed wheelset.

Thought this was current projects. Scuttles out

It's perfect as it is, I would absolutely not repaint it.

Third dibs on levers (would need posting though).

Nice.

This has had me considering a 32/40 flip/flop wheelset for weeks (VS bolt on cog and single speed conversion rear, have a WI "tracker" front hub waiting to be built up), but can't really find 40h rims in Norway. Plus what to do with the front...

(that being said, I quite like the sound of those)

Can't sell stuff here and other places at the same time

u mad?

did you miss the part he said trolololetc?

its obviously a chub.

Worse, I had misundestood the meaning of trolololetc. Hangs head

Looks perfect to me. Not too expensive either. Some day.

Sorry if I'm being ignorant here, but what frame is that on your new winter trainer Husum?

What makes you say it's an alfine? Where is the shifter? Could be a chub... no?

It's a way of getting the shoulders lower without bending the arms [...]]

What is the motivation for not bending your arms? (Honest question)

Looks awsome! And I love the magura(or is it a defaced delta?), but what is the dyno hub connected to? Well, obviously nothing yet, what are you planning?

Nice work, and nice documentation.

Why? It takes you the exact same amout of time, and I'll pay the difference in cost.

I'd like this, posted to Norway if you don't mind, shouldn't be a big diff, and I'll pay that.

def. And I concur with M-X.
