Yup that would be great - PM me to arrange?

@user67706akajimmythegrin - collection is definitely preferred at the moment I'm afraid, but will keep you in mind if they don't go. Thanks

Gravel board - rough wooden thing? Stitch drill holes of c.8mm or something (whatever is necessary for a hacksaw blade) diameter around the diameter of your desired hole, then hacksaw blade them together to knock out the centre? Sandpaper the result to a hedgehog-acceptable finish

Ha!

Sorry if it's been mentioned, but what options are there for Giro highlights, if any, like the C4 ones for the TdF...?

Thanks all

And more Alpinestars

Alpinestars...

More Trek photos...

sold

BOTH SOLD

It's time to admit I'm not going to do anything with these. Both frames could do with a fair amount of work (or not if you're happy with patina) - Trek would probably benefit from a sandblast and respray, Alpinestars might come up alright with some T-Cut.

Trek - just a frame and fork, no headset or anything. Seat tube is 52cm from centre of BB to top of collar. Top tube is 57.5cm c-c. £10 for frame & fork with some amazing lugs.

Alpinestars - includes a slightly notchy headset (1 & 1/4" I think), seatpost and matching saddle, and matching quill stem. Measurements - seat tube 47cm from centre of BB to top of collar, and top tube 55.5cm c-c. £15 for everything, with sick neon fade paintjob.

Collection only, Bristol BS5.

BOTH SOLD

Why do the letter gs look weird in that?

Bloody hell, all those prices are a piss take

Rabbitgoo - stupid name, works great

A good 'forum pub bike' which means obviously functioning better than it has ever done before, with no doubt some quite nice parts here and there. Good work on the seatpost!

Very nice. Good black/silver combos

Yes

I've just re-read the thread, and I don't think I could bring myself to sell the Straggler after all the work you put in to it and the incredible trips you've done on it! I'm going to look at my On-One OGs and think how much better they'd look in polished silver, and then probably not do anything about it.

Ha good spot ( @hugo7 )

That's a fine looking bike indeed (tour photos are not too bad either!)

This does look like excellent work. You'll obviously need to provide many more photos for random internet strangers to enjoy please ;)

Very nice - the polished cranks look great.. Silver bars as well?

Very neat, nice job

I don't think the ply(wood) would stop all the bounce/movement - that's quite a long span! Depends what weight will be where on the finished shelf I suppose, but I'd try and get a central support in there if it can be unobtrusive. Maybe a large right angled bracket off the back wall. Or just a central supporting upright, if that doesn't offend aesthetics.

Following with interest. Considering a switch from 700c wheels to 27.5, for the same reason - cushyness. Wondering how practical/expensive/worth it it would be

Just found this, and I am a fan

Very interested in the Thorn fork if it hasn't been taken/dibsed. I'm in Bristol and could collect. Thanks
