Ordered the 2” billet drop out extenders. Also ordered a 36 hole, aero section rim to lace to a disc brake hub. I need to see if there is a way to utilise a hollow stem bolt to help hide the brake cable run. I may have hallucinated the fork had a place to hide the cable. I am of the belief that...

I have revised my plan a teeny bit. As this is a show bike to be ridden sparingly, why not make it look like a drag bike? I am thinking 700c road wheel for the front, use disc covers on the rear, and use the fattest slick I can put out back? I also need to stretch the rear out a bit. My...

Yeah- I was trying to get a custom seat pin and it just never happened. I found something else :( The guy in charge of the email is hit and miss. They do ship stuff like stems and seat clamps quickly.

Rear wheel arrived!!!! No pix as of yet. Why does this rim have a crummy reflector mount RIVETED to the rim?!? They certainly used the crummiest of crummy loose ball bearings! Plus- the freewheel is a pile of JUNK!!! I have a brand new, ACS chromed version. I will paint the rims RED. I want...

I have ordered THREE separate chain guides for Gossi. One mounts to the front mech mount. Another mounts on the chain stay with a dab of double side tape and zip ties. I can’t remember how the other mounts, but I figure if it doesn’t work in one instance, it can work somewhere else. My main...

The Super Sippers are growing on me, but the ladder bars are cool!!!

The flexy, felt like it was well-used chain DID inspire one addition: a proper chain guide. I did order one last night, but something tells me that I may be doing some engineering to make it work.

My wife best never see that! She always says she wants a tandem but I would be stoker and captain.

I fully plan on having a Bassett, weird handlebars and all one day. Did you happen to check out the bizarre handlebars with a circle cross bar? I hated them at first, but I am now obsessed! I will pop for the chrome finish. That bike will be a master piece.

They make cool and unusual bikes! Their components are super. You’ll end up kitting out a bike at $2500 USD if you use their stuff, but it will be something that is nothing short of pure bike joy.

On the short, clackety test ride, the Basset stem delivers. The anodising is not so opaque that it looks like paint. I am a HUGE fan of their seat tube clamps, and I would equip other bikes with their stems, even going so far as to get rid of the Kink “Leroy Brown” stem that matches the copper...

Object lesson: DO NOT USE A CHEAP CHAIN Repeat: DO NOT USE A CHEAP CHAIN Once more for good lesson: DO NOT USE A CHEAP CHAIN Gossamer did NOT like a cheap chain devoid of honest to goodness rollers. He MOCKED me! Bloody ......! Tosser! Shirt lifter!!!! Crickey! In summary: DO NOT USE A CHEAP CHAIN.

@Dr. Tankenstein got me the spindle for the machine. The stripper is working super slowly to get rid of the paint. This is the pain you have for not having a media blaster at home.

Update on the fellow who sold me cranks, hub, etc.: I phoned him and he explained that he was waiting for the cranks. I wish he would have sent an email stating what was going on instead of me having to phone. To his credit, he picked up on the second ring

I had one pair of oil slick pedals the description on Amazon says “Special CNC paint!” Bwahahahaha!!!!!!

I am a relative noobie. I enjoy this place and I am certain the new owner wants to keep more of the same. Thanks for this place!

The crank is a generic made in China forged crank offered on Amazon that feels good enough. Bought the BB from there, as well. Typed in the specs and was able to get a decent cartridge BB for $22. Finish is fine. Came with an oil slick coloured chain ring for $41; $60-ish in and it should be fine.

New crank and *correct* BB:

Nope, it was the Triple. Rear wheel is some other place... :(

Yes!!!!
