Hi polished DP18's, bomb proof so far.

Oooooh dear. Flies fester on shit. I think you are going to die, or very close to.

That's the worst I've seen in a long time.

All done...
finally

Shouts out to Gabes, Shinscar, Keith, Gav, & Marcola without whom, it would look v.different.

Your photo is definitely not working bud. Neither in my PM.

The De Rosa's are stunning that purple mess is not.

Not sure if this has been posted but it's pretty lovely.

I like that a lot bigfoot.

The Bianchi is starting to take shape after a very expencive paint job I have a full dura ace group for it but i think it looks quite nice plain and simple.

Careful, I can see what looks like Griff Rhys Jones eyeing your bike up.

fixed.

I was going to say that yesterday but refrained.

...and that ain't a bad thing right ?
FINALLY got mine sorted how I wanted it fella. 8 glorious months.
will send you a pic soon as the photographer's* been round.

Lovely Bob btw.

*Ed? you do "not-quite-still" life?
No not at all, I was just making the comment that i've got my kiddies bike and I've now got a more sensible bike. Rourkie, although it's 'unrideable' at the moment, is pure HHSB. I think it'll be a while until it's 'rideable' again, so our Rourke Lo Pro ride (think daisy chains and riding through the Surrey hills holding hands) will have to go on hold. :(

I'm not normally a fan of coloured tyres and the like but that is truly beautiful.

all build up, unfinished thought.

I still think the Reynolds stickers look too much with the seat tube decals, Brick Lane Bikes decals… Personal preference though, I didn't realise you lot think it's such a sacrilege to remove them. I'll just replace them when/if I ever sell mine.

Looks good though ed and the fluted seat tube is crazy on the bigger size frame.

P.S. Take the fucking Reynolds stickers off.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Class.

Elio - The Bob Jackson turned out to be mighty fine. I didn't make it to the Strong Island ride and feeling a bit gutted for not going to be honest. We need that big SOuth Ride you mentioned... :)

gtvlusso - IMO the grip really doesn't suit your beautiful ride dude. Each to their own though I guess.

Don't worry mate I couldn't make it in the end anyway. I was renovating my camper van for my trips along the coast & beyond this summer. Plus the mother in law came round just as I was about to step foot out of the door. I've read there will be a summer ride.

There's a Campagnolo fluted Super Record in there. Just needs a rub down and polish.

First time posting in the Names & Faces thread.

The name is Bob:

The name is Brian:

The name is Elio:

The Uni work load should be lighter in the next coming months so I hope to join you lot in the city from Epsom shortly, as well as Russ & Geoff in Surrey (if they're still hosting), and the Southsea Fixed Gear Fight Club in the summer.

Just added the brake from my broken Rourkie as I've had a couple of scary incidents following both my girlfriend and my housemate, who both ride erratically. I still haven't used it though and will probably take it off again.

This is my finished 'proper' bike. I say 'proper' because my Brian Rourke is like a child's toy.

Wifey's Caprice in the background, as rebuilt and restored by moi.

If the frame fit me I'd purchase my second Rourke lo pro, that's fucking beautiful. Whoever buys it get building and post the pics up on the Brian Rourke Flickr group.

I better get my Bob up before you steal the show Ed. I fear I'm going to regret not requesting a flat fork crown and fluted seat tube.

The rim is a Velocity Aerohead, they fit their plastic 'carbon composite' constructed wheel to it and then get little blind Mexican kids to come in and paint them.

They can't be bothered to prep the wheels properly so you get lovely bubbles and bits in the paintwork. Factory fresh Aerospokes also tend to come with these really natty vertical lines round the wheel which show up when reflecting in light.

Do what I did and get a nearly new second hand Aerospoke and get a professional to prep and paint it properly. I ran a brake on it for a little while and took off the gloss but then I polished it back up and rarely brake anymore.

I can't wait to see that Alan finished. Stunning.

one thing I love about the Woodrup, is fairly simple, the type and the name, it sound like a bizarre mix of eastern europe and english.

low flange hubs is defintely the way to go, seen too many bike with high flange nowadays! saving up for some low flange Phil at the mo.

Whizz, how's your Bob coming?

It's all done I'm just too busy and lazy to take photographs of it at the moment. I'm begginning to wonder whether the Nitto NJS Pro stem + drops combo is the best choice in terms of comfort.

Also, I chipped the paint on the downtube yesterday, almost in the same place where there's a crack on my Brian Rourke. Fucking unlucky.

Classy, the low flange hubs finish this off beautifully. Classic looking yet modern.
