Having spend the last few days cleaning up some very dirty wheels, and adding an old Airlite axle and cones to the mystery rear hub, the Ellis Briggs is getting there slowly. I've got all the part's now save the crankset, so hopefully finished soon. Please excuse the appalling photo, but my phone is rubbish and it cannot cope with the strong light/shade contrast.

Fruit salad version looks really good to me, although I do really like the lairy brakes on the second photoshop.

didn't realise they were that close together. Ineos seem pretty understanding about their riders olympic ambitions generally, so it would seem odd if they insisted they ride the tour. That said, they do pay their wages, and I guess it's possible they didn't expect the olympics to go ahead this year again when they started planning training/ride schedules etc at the start of the year.

is it not possible they'll take Dennis and Porte to the Tour despite them doing the olympics? After all, they've had riders do both before

Carbon De Rosa about to finish, currently at £160

That should go, I've fitted worse on piegas, but you may have to pry it open with a flat head screwdriver a little as you try and work it round the bend. It will not be easy and it will scratch/scrape the bars, but it should go with a lot of wiggling and swearing.

Looking for a 1950s rear wheel or failing that a hub-gear sided to run a 5 speed screw on block. Airlite/Harden/FB/Gnutti etc or similar. Ideally 27 1 1/4 but would entertain silver 700c if it looks 'right'
Would normally go to ebay for this sort of thing but not much been on there recently so thought I'd see if anyone has anything suitable spare they don't mind parting with
^^ too much moeny. I bought parts separately (which usually costs more) but still didn't pay more than £400 I don't think.
