  I turned my 1fg back to single speed format so I could use the gears on another build, gotta change the chainring as the narrow/wide one isn’t that round but loving riding single speed again

  @TvH thanks, so much easier to find a regular decent priced fork compared to those 15mm ones

  Not really sure where to post this but I need a little advice.....
  I bought a 26" mtb wheelset 2nd hand from my lbs for a price that was too cheap to miss, it takes a 15mm axle. Sooo next day I bought a 2nd hand mtb frame that was designed for a straight 1 1/8 100mm suspension fork. I cant find a lot of inexpensive light rigid fork options, I think I need a 445mm fork, Ive seen the exotic ones online for around 120 but for qr hubs https://www.amazon.co.uk/eXotic-Rigid-Ca­rbon-Release-49-0cm/dp/B01AMN36J6?th=1&p­sc=1
  Whats the opinion on using a axle adapter like the nukeproof ones https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/nuke­proof-conversion-kit-15mm-to-qr/rp-prod8­0192 , is this the best option? thanks in advance for the advice, Jay

  Put a 1x10 drivetrain on my BOTE, new Easton bars and seatpost, gotta change the bearings in the wheels a bit of play but then hopefully done.
  Found a control tech seatpost, some Larsen tt tires and a rohloff chaincatcher for the Franck Roman.
  New bars and xt brakes on the Stars and Stripes, gotta play around a bit but it’s getting there

  I just picked up this ‘Cinelli The Machine’. I think it’s from 1989, a fair few scratches but gonna try and touch it up, nice Columbus Max Or tubing and a nice Cinelli saddle

  I know this a long shot but whoever buys this bike if you don’t like the handlebars I’d really like to buy them off you, it’s the one part I’m missing for my Cinelli mtb.

  I just bought this a couple of weeks ago for cheap, really only for the control tech seatpost. Gonna build it with parts from the shed. Didn’t realize that the stem is 1 1/4 with 29mm clamp, really wanted risers as it’s only 16”. The frame has been treated with that gun metal polish stuff
