divernick Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Lets see all the pics of projects that you're busy with or that you aspire to undertake. I am going to convert my old Peugeot Mirage roadbike into this: (Photoshopped image) G e r h a r d Odendaal, arendoog, MaXiMuM and 1 other 4
TheSlowCyclist Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Looks nice! Not my bike, but this is IMO a super hot SS mtb.http://goo.gl/srkWX
RodTi Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I finally have my frame, after having built up the new softail... Need to spend some time with a bit of light sanding - she needs some TLC... When the Singlespeed.co.za boys get back to me with their stock of Blackspire chainrings - I'll be in business... Here be the frame - very old-skool! This shot sort of shows the ovalisation of the toptube as it meets the seatpost... The same is done down below, where the seattube meets the BB... The headtube is ridiculously long... Took off an inch of steerer when we fitted its fork to the new frame... Here be close-ups of Sandvik's 'window treatment' to the dropouts... When people told me I needed to upgrade my brakes, I used to respond I had already upgraded from canti's... Will pop up some pics after I've cleaned the frame...Not the lightest - weighs in at 1,550kg's - but a decent place to start, I guess!
RodTi Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I'm thinking of either trying my hand at home-made "lazer etching" (which in all likelihood would involve me covering the relevant parts with a thin metal layer (aluminium can etc) - with the cutouts in place - and then taking some very, very rough sandpaper to the exposed parts.... OR - going for a bit of airspray loving... PM'ed a Hubber to hear if he's happy with his paintwork sticking to titanium... nairda 1

Tumbleweed Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 RodTi, is that Michellin sticker the one on which he's shouldering a bike?
RodTi Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 RodTi, is that Michellin sticker the one on which he's shouldering a bike? Hey TW - though about doing that. Decided against it since he appears to be doffing his hat to the Cyclocross boys - and I'm not there... yet... The pic below was from a series of pics, if I recall correctly. The the one I saw - and the one you're presumably talking about - had the bike he's on over the shoulder. Googled it now - and it appears to have disappeared... The sticker that I do have on, is similar to my avatar, with him running [oh the irony].
Tumbleweed Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Here's the sticker I have on one of my SS bikes…Hog described it as a CX bike on 'roids, so it's kinda apt! See the bike here if you haven't before: Alice

See the bike here if you haven't before: Alice Madness - that's one hippy Alice TW! One of my very first threads up on the Hub, was me looking for info on my old frame. A fellow Hubber - might even have been TitusTi(?) popped up a google images' pic, of a DBR frame with the Michelin man on the front... It kind of stuck with me from then on... When Tyerone started his decal sales - I figured 'why not' - I needed something to cover that huge headset space ... Glad I never went with the cyclocross option - since you clearly had 1st, proper dibs! Oh - and of course, me in lycra occasionally comes close to Mr. Michelin! You still got your ride? I must be honest in that I've toyed with the idea myself... Especially with the cantilever brace at the back - reckon it wouldn't be too difficult, I'd need a rigid canti fork up front, and bob would be my uncle...
EigerSA Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 @GTRacing: what was that first frame, looked similar to an alpina?
