London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

no, nothing that good. I saw a 4 spoke, missed the 3 spoke.

Hi Brummies!

anyone have a shimano fitting 42t or therabouts chainring? pretty sure 130bcd, Have been stubbornly using my 40t biopace one cos sheldon said it was good, but everyone on forum was right- it's shit.
cheers,
Mike

BioPace on SS/Fixed !!!!

Ill have a look see, I think ive got a bunch of shimano fit mtb chainrings and some road ones.

Actually worked out what some of what I bought was- campagnolo nuovo tipo low flange front hub, the type that came with the gran sport groupset. Campy athena brake calipers and some campy levers with white hoods. Japanese crankset with 2 rings, unusual 3 bolt design, has a 'js' logo on it, similar to njs but not. anyone know what that is? (I'll probably sell some of this like an ebay whore)

My brian rourke is up for sale. I'd rather keep it within birmingham (easier to deliver) and I know a couple of you are fans of it, so if anyone want's to pm me an offer before I put it up on the big forum you're welcome. I need to fund the new project :)

Sell it to Lee, looks his size and he could do with a sensible bike.

any joy with chainrings dfp? Gotta get higher gear, just rode home from pub in moseley to harbourne with legs going like crazy down the hill to MAC.
BMX fred, what size the Rourke? looks big, my brother needs a bike 6"5???

^I'm going to a couple of jumbles this weekend, I can see if I can pick one up for you if dfp hasn't got one.

cheers Ben,
are you going to erdington, am gonna go in the morning, looking for seatposts (x2) and seem to have developed a bikepartpurchasing addiction.

Im not gonna dig out the parts box out this weekend so by all means buy one from the bike jumble!

no worries dfp, I'll see what I can find.

Might see you there.....

Yep, I'm going to erdington, then I'm going to ripley

sounds great, never been to one before.

kinda trade and sales related; i was in london on the weekend and popped into evans. one of the staff told me they're opening a birmingham store in the next few months if anyone wants to know.

I'm selling my Charge Plug Racer. Medium.
Selling with risers.
It's sparkly.
Its never seen a raindrop.
It lives indoors.
It is in mint condition.
Its yours for a sensible offer....

^ can vouch, it looks absolutley brand new.

my entire bike collection is up for sale here, it'd be nice to keep some of it in Birmingham. Messenjah, you interested in the Rourke for £250, or maybe your friend is DFP? I have a new bike I have to pay for quickly if you can't tell haha

Ride up to the custard factory and show him in person. Hes called Kris, can be found in ideal everyday.

i texted him earlier, thanks

Take the BR to Kris at Ideal and I am sure you will have a quick deal.

Tru$$ me.

Did you sell it to Kris Fred? He came into Third Foot earlier, recieved a text and got very excited!

haha yeah he popped round earlier to collect it and seemed excited, hope he likes it as much as I did. My peugeot is available again if anyone's interested (someone pulled out of buying it because of lack of funds)

Glad Kris got the rourke in the end!

Btw

How much is the pug?

And what size is it?

ta.

Kris seemed as stoked on it as I was when I first got it. Really made me smile haha

the pug's £250 complete and it's a 54

Gavin, I just realised I need the faggin. Its way too small for you, give it to me!

coupla seatposts and probably a frame for sale or trade if anyone interested give us a shout,
cheers

could do with an alloy 27" rim if anyone has such a thing kicking about. Or a wheelset in the same, just remembered I've a decent pair of mod E mavic rims 36H used but nice if anyone's in need of a nice vintage rim.

Anyone got any chain tugs going cheap please!? cheers

Got some of those star shaped ones, and some of those more basic old school BMX ones.

DFP - i reckon you should do a jumble sale of your own mate.... you'll rake in the dollars!
I think the star tugs would look a bit out of place in the Dolan, but as ever, thanks for the offer!

cheers hyperallah, got my eye onnit.

Anyone know where I can get a new pre built rear wheel with a flip hub for sub £80? looking to upgrade my current cassette converted hub for something a little more tidy.

Yo I'm building a new bike, what - fine ladies and gentlemen of birmingham and beyond - wares do you have that I may exchange for hard currency?
The frame I have in mind is a black surly.

A thank you.

Zenith rear hub + mavic open pro + spokes = £55 from cycle basket, so pay someone £25 to build it for you?

Any one got any ideas what the cheapest way of getting a fixed back wheel is, other than building your own?
I can get a hub for 30 quid, but with the price of spokes and a rim then i'd add up to a bit more. I could get a front disc hub and bolt on a hub, but cheap disc wheels are all 26".....
I'm not necessarily getting a new wheel, this is hypothetical....

For instance,
a brand new hybrid disc front wheel can be bought for 35 quid, plus 15 quid for a bolt on cog from velosolo, so £50 a wheel.

A front wheel will probably have much narrower spacing than you require (100/110mm), any disc/modern wheel is likely to be QR aswell. this would mean that you would have no space to add washers etc to space it out to your rear 120/126/135mm. You could of course bend your frame but do you really want to ride QR fixed?

Another big point is that a £35 complete hybrid disc wheel is likely to be of questionable quality.
The rear wheel of any bike is somewhere where you want to get the best quality you can afford. On a fixed however. which has much less components - you really do notice and appreaciate every little nuance of quality.

You be better off getting a 'proper' wheel or building your own.

£25 decent fixed specific hub with lockrings + £20 rim + £15 spokes = £60

You can get me to build it for you perhaps, I have about 3 sizes of spokes.

^If you know what size spokes you wany, you can get them off cyclebasket for half that price

£60 a wheel is good.
Ben's cycles (down the road in milwaukee!) have pairs of fixed wheels for about $70 i think.

anyone got 103 bb square taper?
and some black fixed/free bubs?

Cheeeeeeeeers.

ps. open to sensible offers too.

nice, if anyone needs one slightly larger then I have a complete one for sale but can't be bothered to do the photos to list it properly yet. I have a lovely new bike btw :)

Fred. What size is yours - up for a trade? mine is slightly too small for me.

what new bike you got?

I just won one of those blue pugs off t'bay... looking forward to getting it yo!
btw - I hear they are not pugs ( you got proof? ) word is they may either be Yates or Rourke.

Haha i'm not sure as to the pugs but whatever they are they ride pretty good. My new bike is a Rixon track bike, nice lugged black thing, love it at the moment but i do change my mind pretty quickly haha. I'd rather not trade as I only want one bike, but thanks anyhow. It's a 56 I think but i'd have to measure it.

anyone wanna swop my barely used 18t miche cog for a 14t one(i assume other brands will fit my miche hub but I've not tried)? Not in brum till sunday next week.

Kazane chainring (only)
1/8'' 48t 144 bcd
£15 or best offer

http://www.freshtripe.co.uk/Freshtri...20Kazane-1.jpg

My dolan is for sale, size 56, the one pictured but with a few changes. The wheels are now miche sealed hubs laced to mavic MA2 rims, and it currently has risers and a new stem on but I do still have those drops and stem which I can throw in for free. It's currently running a 49-15 gear ratio so i'd recommend getting a larger rear cog but otherwise it's in perfect working order. I'm looking for something around the £350 area, but sensible offers will be accepted. (Oh and all the Dolan stickers except for the one on the seat tube have been removed and there's a black and white ALIFE sticker on the downtube.)
