[Nicolai]

I'm stepping forward, since none has dared to ask. Where are the pictures? Fanva?

[Fibre-Lyte]

Throwing in a teaser showing the frame, and then going on holiday without posting the rest of the pics. Now that's just wrong

[andy2]

I'm in and out of bed with what the nice french doctor called a 'gastro',
(same as the sh•ts for you folks in Boston and Arizona).
Wife says my looks improved though.
Hopes this makes you all feel better!

[dunlinii]

Luckily its know by much the same name on our small island as well you know

[madcow]

I don't think that would stop me. Ok, well maybe it would, but I'm still going to say it wouldn't.

Oh and for those of you that didn't know, thanks to Anders a very limited number of Spin frames will be available in the U.S.

[j0m]

A Spin, military green, to be ridden in the Swedish winter. Somehow it seems sacrilegious. I love it Anders! If you're short on space you could keep it in my garage.

[Boonen]

The frame looks great Andy, best of luck with the 'gastro', that somehow sounds less great ...

What fork will you put in there?

[andy2]

Hey Boonen,

Thanks for your kind concern.
I felt really sorry for myself for a day or so, even more than usual.

After that It's been like this:



My friend Claus, who is 65 and hard as nails forces me to do 5k uphill in 30+C, 'and nooow we klimb'!
He hates being off the bike so he spends most of his time on it, me I like to join the dog in the shade with a coke.

Oh, the SPIN has an Edge fork, Spooky carbon brakes, Edge 45 tubbies with Alchemy front (24h/2x) and Dt190 rear (24h/2x),etc,etc..

PS I also scaled 'the Muur of Huy' on my way through the Fleghm countries.
No big deal really, the Land Rover did not even need low gear DS

[alienator]

Is the piccie of the dog and door yours?

[andy2]

Yes, the picture is mine (that is the wife took it).
The dog belongs to both of us (the wife and me that is).
The door belongs to a house friends kindly let us use in the Perche region of France.



It's kinda old so I had to use my bike to prop it up.

[pritchet74]

Hey - what are Spooky carbon brakes? Pics? Any good?

[madcow]

[Boonen]

Good to hear you're on the mend again and nice pictures
Now how about getting that frame build up?

'and nooow we klimb'!

I think in weather like that I'd prefer to join the dog as well, he looks very comfortable there.

Hey - what are Spooky carbon brakes? Pics? Any good?

Didn't you type something else last night?
I prefer the aluminium version as you can bend them a little to adjust brake toe in but these look nicer and are slightly lighter. You should try and get hold of some of the Heule adjustable padholders, will work a treat

[andy2]

Few more piccies before we get inundated with cool stuuf from Eurobike.
Still not done, my 'man' for the Campy stuff is in Friedrichshafen.
Weight like this - missing FD,RD, Brifters, Chain, Pedales, cables- is 4.8kg.
Pretty good for a cross.

Thats looking incredibly sexy. The brown, olive and whole matt look thing is really cool. The tires are itching to be ridden though
