EAI cog rant....

Before i post about my Langster build (its the best), i thought i would make a point of saying how crap the EAI superstar sprocket is, especially at £32. It basically turned my bike into a tractor, chainline perfect, several chains and chainrings...still noisy as shit....replaced with a phil wood.....instant silence! Maybe i was unlucky but i won't be buying EAI sprockets again even with the fancy pouch you get!

Rossin Pursuit Frame. *Update*

Got the frame cleaned up and rust free (most of the bit). Sorted the headset bearings and replaced a new bb (Campy Chorus).

I've also replaced the 650c fork with a 700c. I'll try restore the 650c fork as it's plagued with rust :( If not sandblast and repaint might b the only option.



With the "new" fork + seatpost + rust freeish


Got rid of large chunk of rust on the seatpost tubing area. Put the shine back. Now I need some sort of clear varnish to prevent / protect her from elements. Suggestion?


"new" fork + serviced headset w/ spacer


Gipiemme Strada 170mm crankset. Will be getting a more realistic chainring.


Campagnolo C-Record seatpost

More to come.

Cheers

Rossin is finally here with me.

Sorry chaps & ladies for spamming too much about this Rossin pursuit frame lately >.<"

Just got this lady off last night and like all proud owner will say how beautiful she is. There are a fair bit rusts and scruffs but again this frame is made and raced in the mid 80's. I guess vinegar will be my best friend for this couple of weeks in my attempts to get rid of them. Any advises on how to get rid of them best will be much appreciated.

Here's some detail photos of the pursuit.


This is probably how steep it going to be :O


Campy headset that comes with it. Bearings seem all dried out and need to replace.


Knackered Campy BB. Need to replace a new one.


Other details


The 700c fork for my daily use.

It'll take me a while to get this beast on road non the less the process is always the best bits ;)

Welcome

The latest additional to TRC London is Jon. A very passionate fixed rider, especially with his Langster >.<" His next project could either be a Japanese steel or bianchi pista concept. Hopefully we'll see his progress here!
