  Hey,

  Looking for options in Europe for a square taper bottom bracket, with BSC threads and 68mm shell, an ISO square staper and width around 120-122mm.

  So far, I seem to find only this option from Specialites TA which seems nice, but rather spendy. Would anyone have a different option in mind?

  Very small hack but satisfying: on the restrap bag, the little rubber grommets to hold the extra length of the strap broke, so replaced it with bread bag closing things. Re-usable, easy to remove, very happy!

  Custom frameset thah I had made by Orlowski in 2020, and then re-modified locally this summer to add brake posts, derailleur hanger, downtube boss and cable stops

  I think my little rig qualifies!

  very long shot and hoping for a miracle but would someone have the ONGR bag to sell to me or know someone that would? similar to the one below made by fairweather/blue lug:

  Hello,
  Putting up for sale my 1x crankset:
  SunXCD crank arms (165mm)
  Specialites TA One Pro 5 vis (38T, NW)

  Good condition, used as 1x drivetrain without issues ; some marks but square is fine and threads for removal as well. All included with hardware (screws and nuts), and I can include as well a Stronglight JP400 bb (118mm axle) for 68mm bsa frame in good condition.

  140€ for the lot (crank arms, hardware, chainring, bb) without shipping cost.
  I am based in France, but can post to Europe without any issues.
  I think it can work out for the uk as well since I sold calipers to @jontea a while ago after brexit and it came without issues.

  does anyone know where I can get brass barell adjusters, similar to these ones from an European source? as I am based in France, I might get stung by the customs purchasing from the uk. cheers!

  For what it’s worth my frame took only 700x25C but I managed to get 650x35B (even 38) but don’t know if it was true to size, but better comfort still haha!
  I have a pair of R559 I can send if needed that I can do for not too expensive, if needed shoot me a PM 😉
