A visual report into how she’s fairing…
-
- is that seat tube slightly bending, or is that just me? i think it was always like that…anyway, maisie’s now all fitted out with some gears for the upcoming cx season. it’ll be her true test! she’s been going great over the last 7 months, clocking up ~1500km and not missing a beat.
-
- the two layers of epoxy resin clear coat are durable and scratch resistant
-
- still holding up, so is the veneered hub
-
- the tension screws rusted within a few weeks. i’ve since removed them as they’re not needed with a derailleur.
-
- i still want to put something in the middle of that badge…
-
- i now realise that the cf tow winding i did at the end of this lug is pretty pointless.
-
- next time. again with the pointless cf tow winding down the seat tube.
-
- again with the scratches, but no cracking
-
- a few scratches, but no signs of cracking
-
- fairly dirty right now, but no signs of cracking or deterioration
-
- i wanted a narrower chainline when i switched to a cassette on the rear so I switched the chainring to the other side of the crank spiders and had to file back the chain stay a fair bit.
-
- no cracks!

-
- i’m using a 105 derailleur as a chain catcher to stop it falling off. it’s positioned much lower than it normally would. had to bend the clasp a bit to make it fit around the fat seat post tube
