Hi framebuilders!
A very noob question: say I want to build a frame with the following geometry (really just as an example)
TT (c-c): 520
ST (c-c): 480
DT: 580
What should be the minimum length of the raw tubes for each of the above dimensions? I suspect there is no maximum length really, because I can always buy longer tubes and cut them, but what's the minimum length?

Final price drop: 130£

Hey -- it's still on hold for a dude who called dibs on it, but he is only coming from Belgium in September to pick it up. I want to keep this post alive in case he changes his mind.

Somebody called dibs on DM. Let's see what he decides.

Front picture and price drop: 140£

Sorry :/ I don't see myself selling the 54 anytime soon.

Uploading some pictures. I don't want to unwrap the frame, but I can guarantee it's brand new.

I bought those bars last year when I was very enthusiastic about becoming a track sprinter :)
I am settled on my track bike with some regular Zipp road bar now, so I am selling the Alpina ones.
I have never used, they are new as they have arrived from the Dolan online store.

On Dolan website they are 200£ after a 20% discount. I am selling them for 150£.

Good question ;) see my post from a few months ago: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/329940/

Short answer: yes, but clearance is small.
What size is your Parallax?

BLB sells PW top caps https://www.bricklanebikes.co.uk/phil-wood-top-cap-black

That's hot stuff -- I didn't know a Paul Comp Titanium seatpost even existed!

I bought it exactly two years ago from SantaFixie (RRP £700, see attached image).

See here for a description of the frame when it was launched.

It is an absolute beauty, very hard to find these days (Cinelli told me they made 10% of the Parallax Charcoal, the rest was Optical b/w and the more recent Cyanotype).

I am selling it because:

• I am building a road bike (with breaks and gear... don't judge please)
  
• I have the same frame on size 54/M, which is a better fit for me.
  
  

I can post pictures if you are interested, but it's brand new. The only reason I have opened the box back then was to verify everything had gone fine with the shipping.

£600

Retrogression sells an Alpina Carbon Fork with a 30mm rake: https://www.retro-gression.com/collections/forks/products/alpina-carbon-track-fork-undrilled?variant=47508077898

And so does BLB if you don't want to bother with US shipping: https://www.bricklanebikes.co.uk/blb-b30-fork-black

Thanks, mate. It makes sense, as 17 would make it horizontal, but it looks a bit rised. It's kind of odd they don't specify it in the description ¯\(ツ)/¯

Has anyone measured how many degrees the stem rises on those Canyon integrated cockpits?

Well, the grain between gears is coarser though, I am not sure how good that is.

I am happy about the trend of compact chainrings then, they must look good on small-size frames.

Interesting how chainring and cassette sizes are so different from Shimano or Campagnolo.

Is the budget for a frameset or a complete bike?
I have got a new (never used, never built, still in the box) Cinelli Mash Parallax Charcoal size S (52) that I want to sell around that price.

LFGSS never lets me down

I messaged them on ig, let's say what they reply.

I am cyling to Cambridge tomorrow and I won't be back to London before the evening, so I am looking for a cafè in Cambridge where I can watch the Giro d'Italia stage. Some place like LMNH, or Rapha, in London. Any recommendation?

Thanks, I will get a cadence sensor at least then. As I said, my Garmin is attached under the saddle, so there should be no issues ;)

Does anyone use sensors (cadence & speed) to track data at the velodrome?

I know GPS units like Garmin are not allowed on the cockpit or anywhere visible by the rider, but it's allowed to put one under the saddle using a saddle rail mount. Yet, at LVV for example, there is not GPS signal, so the unit by itself is useless. Does anyone have experience with sensors on a track bike? Are they allowed by UCI rules? Are they allowed by the velodromes? Do they work well? What sensors do you use?

I do an M check as well, but I used to do it at home the day before I go to the track. Instead I should start doing it once I reach the track.
How do you know the GB squad rides on clinchers? I would like to know more, like what's their exact setup (what tyre/tube).
