I have three stems for three different bars (risers, bulhorns and track drops) which I usually change depending on the occasion: risers for the city, bullhorns for long rides... And I must admit that I´m quite fed up of changing them time to time. In fact I´m selling all of them to get some proper compact bars that should be an all-in-one.

A BLB Lil Quil or something similar will do the job. I have a 60mm one so I could trade for it if wanted.

Preferably for collection in Central or East London.

Was she black or white though?

She was blonde but was wearing full black clothes.

Beautiful girl on a grey Vivalo with Notorius 90 on the front and polished H+Son on the rear RLJing in Shoreditch - Brick Lane area yesterday.

Really nice frame and really small. I always thought my bikes were tiny but this one is even more. What size is it, 48?

Need to cut and re-thread a fork. Any quality workshops in Central or East London? I´m new in the city so I have no idea where to go.

Any decent workshops where I could take my bike to do this work? Preferably in central London or north-east.

Thanks!

Just fell in love with that fork.

Vittorio rando as a fixed CX/commuter. It's already in SSCX thread, but as it's a current project, posting it here as well. Fitted new tyres and brakes. Riding on hoods is so much better than on risers. Need to adjust the brakes, so still skidding to stop. Feels weird on big tyres.

Lovely frame and build.

Can you reach the brake levers when riding on the drops? They look to be too far from the bars. I´ve been thinking about getting some compact bars to match with old aero levers but seems that it´s not the best combination.

Any close-ups of the reinforcements in that Dolan?

Lovely fork. What is it?

Fell in love with the white Soma.

Frame looks quite ugly with that HT angle.

I´ve been thinking a lot about changing the dropouts of my fixed gear conversion but the main reason for not doing it is that I don´t want to modify the geo of the bike, (the BB height mainly). I´ve seen plenty of frames with the dropouts replaced but all of them are just a plug and play work, which lowers the bottom bracket 10 to 20mm as the hub axle seats in a different position (see the picture).

I know the difference might be hardly noticeable, but I like getting the things done properly, so what are there possibilities? Do you know any framebuilder who offers this service?

^^ Ha!

Are these taken on a gopro, phone, compact or something, they're pretty good.

They are taken with a Sony NEX 5N and a 16mm pancake lens (as the picture below), which I carry on a PDW basket:

Such things do exist!

And they make the bike look weird.

BTW:

reminds me of my all time favourite rat

Three arm cranks?

^LOL. Bloody glad I went yesterday and not today, its grim out there at the moment.

I really like Madman's 2nd photo, where were those taken?

They are taken in the province of Biscay, northern Spain. Pretty near from Bilbao.

My pre-weekend ride. Windy as fuck. 90 kilometres that felt like 200.

The only time I´ve seen similar dropouts was in some low end spanish BMX bikes.

Good. I´ll go for it then.

How do you find the combo OnGuard Brute LS 8000 + OnGuard Bulldog Mini? I´m moving to London in a few weeks and I was planning on taking this two locks but I´m not sure if the will be safe enough (the bike is a cheapo conversion to FG).

@madman: if you mean designed from scratch, they weren't. we had to modify them by cuting off some parts so they could fit in the stays. but they were installed horizontally to keep the bb at the same height with all wheel positions.

@Richtea71: thank you! we'll do our best! :)

I just said it because when changing road dropouts to horizontal, people normally do a plug and play work so the axle of the rear wheel is higher than the chainstays, but in your case seems that you have modified the dropouts to maintain the axle at same height so the BB drop and the BB height is not affected.

Nice work BTW.

Were the dropouts designed to maintain the BB height?
