Myles Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 You're probably a bl**dy battery in that case! This is cycling porn. For my next trick (subject to clarification as to whether my eyes deceive me) I'm thinking seriously about one of these frames to build into my ultimate fixed-gear bike here And yes, I am considering the pink option 🥰 (but will inevitably plump for naked CF...) I've got a stack of carbon for the 7 - sitting in a garage roughly 350 miles away from the car... 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester Racing 7s Ecosse™ 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester-Racing-Sevens.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Village Idiot Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 What are the brakes Myles??? So nice to see side pulls for a change everyone went centre pull/arms on braze ons a decade (or two ago) I always thought a properley set up side pull gave better braking (more feel on the lever, much less stretch on brake wire) they look like Modolo items from that shape design??? Are the brake arms in CF not alloy ??? Those I could get excited about. Still couldn't beat my 753 frame tho that is classic bike porn Dicks 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Village Idiot Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Oh I'm not a battery, the CF is a tendon in my shoulder - it's lighter but not stronger and not as stretchy as the original the broke 😔 Dicks 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delbert Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 'professional working day'.

Myles Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 What are the brakes Myles??? I think they probably are CF items - but I've only ordered the bars and levers... ...so far... Just to burst your bubble, what I really want is to get hold of an almost-mythical disc-enabled 700c fork. I built a set of (apologies - like **** - to those non-bikies of the sheds) wheels based on Mavic ceramic rims two years ago so that I could stop safely in my close-quarters-combat style of city riding in wet, wet Edinburgh. Unfortunately, despite the excruciating cost of the rims - and a search through various brake blocks - I still can't stop safely if it does more than drizzle. So, given that I trust my life to the disc-brakes on my MTB on a regular basis during the winter - that's the way I really want to go. Bit of a weight penalty - and disc-equipped 700c forks are almost unobtainium due to a ban in cyclocross - but not impossible... So, lets' see now. CF frame, forks, bars and seat-post. Check!. Handbuilt (by me!) wheels. Check! Fixie - or convertible to (yech!) gears. Check! Stops in all-weathers (hmm - that'll take a couple more days of overtime to achieve... not cheap!) By-buggery, that'll be a fixie to behold though. Especially in PINK! 🥰 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester Racing 7s Ecosse™ 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester-Racing-Sevens.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 FFS - I reckon this is something like week 10 or so out of the last 12 where I've got a half to full day of fecking work at the weekend. Can someone remind me what it's like to have two fecking days off in a row? 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester Racing 7s Ecosse™ 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester-Racing-Sevens.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Village Idiot Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Well it pays for all that carbon then Dicks (and as to the question no - the last time I had two days off in a row was my annual holiday - 4 days off in a row at the beggining of August - still beer was nice ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
