I am currently working on (shorts)

Midschoolfool:
Floor complete. I am now resting for a bit  :LolLolLolLol:



Recycled my old centre channel speaker stand. I can now hear the radio !



Then had a look at the shelves I got.



Walls next.

Midschoolfool:
Just try not to slip on the puddle of drool.

Midschoolfool:
Figuring what I need to make the new bike look good. I think it is time for the orange to go. So new grips needed, new head spacers, new head doctor top cap. Bearings should all be good. Cane Creek headset on it, so all good there.

Need a new seat post (it's massive on the new one, 31.6!) and clamp. Will replace the crank bolts with red ones too... Oh and brake cables etc.

I also need to find the best one of these things.



As the frame has single place drops. Not a huge issue, been watching videos on setting them up. I also took the Ti BB apart as much as I dared and gave it a ruddy good clean.



Looking forward to this build. Always nice to work on the biggun.

Midschoolfool:
After 7 years and many very happy miles the last part of the PK is going. Good thing I kept all the others really  :LolLolLolLol:



Very limited tools here. I pulled the seat and brake cables off.



Bars are off now too, but the stem bolts won't budge with the stupid driver I have. Need to go get more tools. Was relieved that the best part of the Jagwire cables comes off (the stainless flexi noodles that go into the levers)



All orange parts are going to be replaced with red and black.

Enter Mondays Child, all 3.11lb of pure titanium PORN.



I figured I would try and thread in the Ti BB, and then realised I had been ripped off.

Me about a year ago "Hi. Are you sure this is British threaded? I see they make them in British (euro) and Italian?"

Seller - "No mate definitely euro, I had it on my bike".

Fockin liar. When I verniered the threads they are well over 36mm, not 34 or so. Thankfully I found a thread where a guy detailed rebuilding an ISIS BB and got the bearing sizes from a normal Euro one.



Noting the 31mm part. I also checked ISIS bearings online. Also 31mm.



The ones on the left. I then removed the longer side of the BB (not easy, needing a bit of twatting that) and,



Bearings are 31mm. Thank god. That means I can grab one of the many at my mum's and nick the end shells with the threads on. Phew.

Midschoolfool:


Paint jobs I have been accruing over winter lol.
