Does this tickle anyone's teapot?

Dibs Porteur Bars

Selling a 5 spoke hit me up, will throw in a supreme sticker if you're
keen

From here

Up for grabs is a Langster (with horrible graphics)
I have altered the frame somewhat, I have cut the rear brake bridge out and filed it down
I have also "opened up" the rear end, by indenting the frame so that it will take 33c tyres (I used a different fork) - spacing is still 120mm
It has also had the rear brake cable guides chopped off and painted over
I have also painted over the front logo
I had no issues when using like this and it was fun to run huge tyres.
Size 56cm

Included in the sale is Frame, Fork, Headset, Seatpost, Saddle and BB
Headset and BB are not perfect, but they do work.
Perfect for a beater you don't want stolen

£45 takes it
Located in King's Cross Area

That's lovely!

If you can't find the clamp, I am selling one, unfortunately not ti though...

Nice build, looking forward to seeing the finished machine

+1 for caps, it just looks right

Looks good!

I've attached the photo so other people can see.

The only issue I can see is that it's only built for a bike of one size, perhaps adjustable feet?
If someone had an XL bike, it would lean up diagonally. Maybe the pink might get a bit grubby with tyres leaning against it - so do you want the Rapha logo there, where it's gonna get dirty?
Otherwise, looks pretty cool. I'm sure other people on here will have more opinions though!

why did our wildflower turf have cabbages in it?!

Often wildflower mixes are full of random seeds and odds and ends that ultimately increase biodiversity (and help to bulk out the mix). I've planted some at my parents before that had pumpkin seeds in... which was quite a suprise when it popped up

Perhaps this thread might be a good place to look through for inspiration

Was thinking about some blue Oury grips for this to match the blue of the frame, but I have settled for black, with a touch of blue.
Also sorted some Ultegra Brakes

Really I should have sorted a headset first... But ho hum

The bars for the Sporteur Arrived...
Thanks to @spotter for posting the eBay link.
They're a bit wide so will probably be cut down in due course.
Currently on the look out for a cheapish road wheel set for this (Aksiums?) once we have those, this project will properly kick off

Tight.

Ummm

Track tandems aren't that easy to come by, unless you get lucky with eBay:
Dolan do a track tandem for £600, which split with your stoker is only £300 each!

That looks so mega!
