well,
a rare and unexpected opportunity to get on the track here in cairo arose at short notice so I threw the bike together with the functioning bits i had and went for a rip.
bike definitely goes.
as pictured it doesn’t have the prototype crankset because I couldn’t find a bb to install it in time. but it was super fun to ride, feels great; reassuringly quiet, fast, responsive, stoked. no niggles, no wiggles.
I tried it in anger in both high bb mode, and low bb mode, and it REALLY canged the language. I then wanted to gear-up, and the chain from my old bike was too short, so Ironically, I ended up with the “tweeBB” in middle-back mode, to get the chain to reach 
.
Im really looking forward to experimenting further with this, Ive approached the Egyptian federation about having more opportunities to access the track and it seems like this might go somehwere… but we will see.
here’s me on the bike
since then, I got hands on a bb, made some decals (the vinyl I could get is terrible quality and is coming off) and put the fancy wheels on, though i’m waiting now on a delivery of tubular glue.
anyway.
here’s some pics of it as it sits. the disc axles are interchangeable and here ive managed to get the front and rear wheels in the wrong places, and the front wheel inside out so the decals don’t line up anyway, but hell.
