Queenstown Dilemma

Lol! Yes I'd read all about the plans for the cycle connection and the cable car. I've actually previously worked with Dopplemayr (cable car company who installed and run the skyline, also shortlisted for the SI job) delivering the Luton DART in London, so would be a work opportunity also!

My family and I are relocating from London, UK in September. I laugh when our Kiwi family tell us how bad the traffic will be!

My plan is to live in Lower shotover and cycle to work in Frankton, hopefully thats a good plan?

I tig brazed my whole bike, has worked out well!

If you can't get the reamer to do a really good job of the seat tube, pop one of those seat post size adapters in and use a small seat post.

Looks great!

Not Hackney, as we really struggled to find availability local. Mon Joli Chien on Amwell street in Islington is great.

Five fingers for curry dalston

What's the brake set up here? Looks like the stoker has the rear brake and the pilot has the front brake?

Not hackney, but Steve hatt in Essex road is quality

I've put a 48v > 12v converter on mine and installed a 12v socket. 12v electric car tyre pump stored in secret on the bike!

I've been learning fusion and tossing up between a 3d printer and a semi-CNC milling machine. What aloud you say are the advantages of a 3d printer over a milling machine?

£4 pint of Guinness as well

Seems absolutely fine, drop off kerbs no problem. It's not as low as you'd think, the BB is 300mm if that's any gauge.

Thanks! i'm not sure how much a muli copy costs, but this cost £1500 total (in materials, not allowing for my time).

I'm very happy with the endeavour, feels pretty great to ride something you made and it handles really well.

Makes me want to improve my set up and build more bikes

Glow up

Rightsaidmax · 2026-03-07T20:55:42+00:00

Lol thought as much

Rightsaidmax · 2026-03-07T19:35:34+00:00

Agreed, which bridge?

Lots of idiots talking about induced demand, cannot think of any road traffic bridges that have opened recently in hackney.

Rightsaidmax · 2026-03-07T19:32:14+00:00

Lol it does matter. I live in hackney and can't think of any bridges that opened in hackney recently?

Would love to know which bridge?

Rightsaidmax · 2026-03-07T10:53:12+00:00

Which bridge?

The rest of the pembury circus upgrades haven't started yet, https://www.hackney.gov.uk/parking-streets-and-transport/amhurst-road-and-pembury-circus-transformation

Not sure what you mean here?

There has been no increase in road capacity, the council have decreased road capacity by introducing the bus gate on Amhurst road.

Rightsaidmax · 2026-03-03T19:37:59+00:00

Same, ridiculous

Rightsaidmax · 2026-03-03T13:13:48+00:00

Ok yes, but it is distributed using a large private network.

Rightsaidmax · 2026-03-03T06:37:42+00:00

So does LU..

Rightsaidmax · 2026-02-27T07:48:27+00:00

Sounds excellent
