    Yeah, start on a Dirk 2 as a companion bike for Dirk, a kind of Edwina Merckx, I have a contender for you...

    ^ I seem to recall that photo from the OCD thread.

    Dynamo but no lights. I think it could be wired to his testicles via a speed unit. Go below 20mph over 3 hours and bzzzzzzt.

    Back OT (Imholz bike 'build' in case you forgot)...

    My wheels are from 1978, the rim tape is cotton

    I had that very same rim tape on a pair of Chorus/MA40's in 1994. Soz mate.

    Never you heathen! Never! HE is immortal. Stronger than 10,000 beards of Odin and faster than a million gazelles.

    Once THE MIGHTY HAMMER OF POWER has been wielded HE will crush the heathens.

    Anyhow, HE has two new companions: the Peugeot/Vitus and a mint 2007 Madone 5.5 SL that I got for nothing last Monday (well, frame, forks, headset, b/b). I'm not really a Madone fan but this is in dark grey and actually really nice. Full Rival of Force (if budget allows) Carbonzone wheels, job jobbed.

    Now whilst I was rotating that ^ image, it got me thinking and wots I thought was like a bolt of lightening. As you are good at photoshop, I think that this bike is a figment of your imagination - a dream. A lovely dream but a dream nonetheless.

    Will you eventually copy paste all the bits onto the first pic? I think that would be quicker. It explains why we get pics of bits but rarely the whole thing.

    now there's an idea :D

    Digital bike building that is, not chapatti making, although now I'm thinking about going out for curry!

    Can't you use plaster like anyone else on PPP, just add turmeric to save on the need for painting :D

    Shall I add some Icing Sugar and egg white, heat the mix up to 60 deg or so to give it a workable hardness ? Would Potassium bitartrate help? If I add Baking Powder, will I be able to put it on the ceiling and would it then look like Artex?
    Should I use a spachelor or a float?

    So many questions...

    An automated response that's directed at one person! I smell a rat.

    You've either run out of bits or you're bottling the lug lining.

    or maybe and this is serious...
    Scenario No.3: There's no bloody decals, superb or otherwise.

    Wasn't there a thread about a decal maker?

    Perhaps you could use him?

    And I'm here, so not there either. If fact, I can't even really be bothered to be here at the moment .....

    I'm not here nor there. It's all a bit too much for me... must have a lie down.

    Once I saw who was posting on this thread I should have known better than to bother reading through the lot in expectation of seeing a nice vintage bike...

    You guys do know how to string out a load of nothing!

    Hey you - just you hold your horses. It ain't me stringing it along, it's that bloody itinerant OP. I know where he lives* and you can go and knock on his door and give him the what for.
    *PM me for details.
    Get the box set of Prison Break, watch it and come back in 6 months. You might see a single bottom bracket bearing by then. I'm sure the nerd/annoyance ability within him would prompt posting a picture of one. :roll:
