there have been some bob improvements, I've destroyed 2 paselas. fit them and after a 3 mile ride and a fucking 1/4 mile ride both have spontaneously blown through the sidewalls and seperated from the beads.

really not completely sure i didn't fuck up putting them on but i've fit and unfit and refit at least a few dozen tyres in my life and never done it before... oh well ordered her the same clement strada gumwalls I've got on the Rossin.
Otherwise bob has front and back brakes, and a shorter stem, and a rack!

pics attached of bodge rack mount made from some bits of t shaped something. I've had a rivet gun for ages but never used it but I riveted this shit and it was great.

All bikes need a twiddle on the wheels now they've settled in a bit which is good excuse to clean everything and put the stradas on the bob. Also bought 28s, seeing as there's room might as well mine are lovely.

Took her out for the first time ever last weekend, a lovely ponder up the river lea then stopped for a picnic in epping forest. Utterly charming afternoon with a good friend, no pictures and a bit dusty. little bit of ffiddling with the gears and agonising over a shorter stem... still very very lovely to ride all day if not utterly baffling to not only have a frewheel but the brakes on the wrong side....

already looking nicer with a teal turbo

what do single speeders push against? massive black plastic pedals with reflectors on them? don't think the super old rat trap is going to look nice here either, what to do?

I bought a sugino uno (condor branded rd2) DS crank and ring but the left is missmatched, I would like to buy a silver Sugino crank in 165 if you have one.

Are there any nice vintage ish (turbo/rolls era) women's saddles?

Other than that I have to try and change the thread title and apologise for not slamming the stem but it no want to go more in.

ahhhh done. Yeah thanks for storing at the bottom of a canal @f1s!

Steerer thread was fucked, fucked up a nice campag headset trying to get it on and Tom found a tall stack and put spacers over the buggered threads, genius! Took me two days of bafflement and having to resort to several prayers to Jah and he fixed it this morning.... anyway that's why the headset is a bit weird

bb threads were quite fucked up. cycleps is a real bike shop that have a tool that sorts all that out.

Built the wheels last week and bolted the rest on today. Saddle is obviously also horrible on this bike as well as the Rossin, but she will have to choose her own, likewise with pedals, the overlap is hilarious without adding unnecessary cages to the mix.

I rode it around it for a bit, singlespeed bikes are fucking confusing if you're used to fixed and I looked like a clown but it all seemed very nice. Still a really decent frame.

Tomorrow I will put a fixed cog on and do skids and then find and fit the rear brake and give it to her.

this photo is giving me grief

massive thanks to Tom at CyclePS in Camberwell today

I've done fuck all on this bike for ages and its basically all done save for plumbing the gears and the stuff is in front of me...

Urge has gone because I don't have anywhere to go on it and I can finish it in a couple of hours if I want to so now I can't be bothered. WHY? what a strange way to behave.

Anyway in the meantime I've built up the mini bob jackson path racer type thing I got from @f1s for my girlfriend. Sort of for my girlfriend, she'll have to give it back when/if she's done with me. That's an expensive gift.

sorry man didn't see this, they were on ebay and much too small for me, just kinda thinking about loud shoes

dibs turbo and unknown german pedals please

Is there a convenient may of using 22.2mm bmx levers with separate clamps on 23.8 bars? Anyone make a longer clamp bit? Could maybe bend it

I had one done, I think you still have to drill through and it falls out

possibly still quite drunk this morning, failed multiple times to hold onto something at the lights and had to emergency clip out while falling sideways...

Dibs pd6400 please
