First fixed build-Record

General Post your ride

Technically this could be called my second build but the other one was a temporary conversion(Bianchi coversion , pics posted last year).
I had most of the parts laying around in the shed for a while but finally built it up just before Christmas.
I brazed some track ends on and had the frame powdercoated and some new decals printed.Not exactly what you would call tight geo but good enough for my daily commute. I have put just over a thousand k’s on it and rides fine.
Another one of those bikes where the front wheel cost more than the entire build…
I’m not a big fan of the matching tyre/frame combo but the rear was used on the Bianchi conversion earlier and will be replaced later.

No name bars
generic CrMo straight fork
old SLR seat
Campag cranks/ bottom bracket

Nice except for the Trispoke :?

Put it this way, if you sell it, you get to build another bike!!!

4

I dont know a lot about the Trispokes, are they the poormans Aerospoke or you just dont like the look of them?

5

It’s the other way round. Trispokes > Aerospokes.

6

I dont suppose that would apply to secondhand ones bought off Flea-Bay where the seller neglected to mention in his description that it runs out three mm :frowning:

7

No.

I suppose not.

8

I didnt think so, never mind its no big deal. I might fit it as a rear wheel instead ,then the run out wont be so noticeable.

9

Just don’t like the look of them. Heavy plastic wheels just aint my thing.

10

Would look better on the rear I think. Very shiney :smiley:

11

Yes its strange, sometimes they are there and other times not.
Issues with Cyclebucket maybe?

12

um… trispokes are carbon not plastic… and fairly light being a track wheel

13

Rad front wheel!

14

Yeah, I actually bought it to go on my road bike but thought i would stick it on here just for a giggle.

15

is it AEROSPOKE heavier than Trispoke?

16

I dont know how much an Aerospoke weighs but the Trispoke with front axle fitted weighs 1062g

17

nice commuter :smiley:

18

aerospokes are fucking heavy much heavier then a trispoke. it feels like they way at least 2 kilo but fuck knows. i like trispokes but heads are the most pimpin

Looks great, but for some reason looks kind of stretched to me
