• Hello everyone!
    As the title suggests I'm after a few things to refurb my fixed. I don't care about the aesthetics of any of these things - I just want to spend as little money as possible as I'm really skint and this is for a uni runaround that might get nicked. Also I'll need everything posting as I'm out near Norwich.

    A bit more info:
    Front brake - I'm after a dual pivot front brake without a recessed nut, as I'm not keen on drilling my forks. I don't know if this even exists?

    White Charge spoon - really don't care if it's a bit grubby/jeans-stained, it'll soon look like that with me riding anyway!

    Straps - Not specifically after restraps - but I'm not getting on with toeclips particularly (2 left feet!) and I've heard these are a suitable alternative that I might find easier... Or if anyone's got anything else they think would be suitable let me know :-)

    Proofide - anyone got some hanging around they don't need any more? Don't care if it's partly used or whatever if you can knock a couple of quid off the rrp!

    Like I said I'm on a really tight budget so I'm not after anything nice, just beater parts that are easy to replace and don't make people want to steal my transport!
    Also really sorry if I've missed some threads that are already up - I've run loads of searches and looked through the classifieds but can't see anything... but I'm highly unobservant!

    Thanks muchly,

    Jess :-)


  • White spoon?

  • got a spoon for a tenner.

  • Hey Slimjim, sounds good. Is it a white one? And would that include postage? Cheers :-)

  • white, no postage though, im in camden town!

  • Ah well, if no postage I'll have to pass. Cheers anyway!

  • Nobody else got nuffin'?
    (Quick lunchtime bump)

  • dont just specify restraps, theyre just the newest entry to the ever expanding sea of velcro straps. chicago wig, jol gurney, holdfast etc will all be suitable for what you want.

  • OK - taken onboard and I've edited the post a bit - don't know how to change the title as it appears in the classifieds though...

    Thanks for the suggestions as to other brands :-)

    this is the thread for the straps that our very own Jol makes.
    very good straps, you can get them posted as well, PM Rik once youve read the thread if you want a pair.
    :)

  • Hmmm they look reeeeally super-awesome but I wasn't thinking of spending quite so much... though I guess spending on straps is a good investment!
    If nothing else comes up I'll go for them, thanks very much for the suggestion :-)

  • fair enough, just keep looking out on classifieds... holdfast come up from time to time.

  • OK one last bump...
