Sitting in Reubens in Kreuzberg on holiday, must resist... Looks a beauty. Must say Berlin is a bike paradise, Italian exotica and rusty Peugeots for some reason...

Any advice on which website creation/hosting online software's the best. The father in laws business is in need of some help. He's a metal fabricator/welder and business is poor. I'm trying to help out by creating a website for him, but due to limited time want a one stop package that will enable me to design and host the site and possibly pay a few quid a month for a domain and no adverts. Any recommendations?

Although the title of this thread is now wrong due to spell check!

Seen this on the BBC this morning...

It's the 'fixie' craze of the 2010's kids (although I'd like to see what a Charge Pogo stick would be like...)

Ask Scoble the Laurence Llewyln Bowen of the forum.

you lot are f**king unsympathetic, it's clear his friend would be getting steady miles in at this time of the year. Clearly he wouldn't exceed his heart rate training zone to catch a young vagabond...

According to Foot, the 2010 documents suggested that Magni had distributed anti-fascist newspapers, although many of the character witnesses appear to have been members of his extended family. Other documents appear to suggest that Magni was a member of a fascist militia that hunted down partisans and arrested Gino 'the pious' Bartali on a number of occasions. Perhaps Magni decided to hedge his bets in the maelstrom.

^ longer stem would sort this problem out, it's a lovely bike.

^^ Seems his view of human values were a little dubious during WWII.

From looking into this, it appears that the Italian flag appears on the high end frames, Columbus SLX and I think were made by Ciocc. The other frames (certainly the steel ones) were manufactured in Italy and painted in Belgium. Think I've mentioned before that they appear to come from different frame builders. I have two Astore's with different tubing and pantographing details. The bottom bracket shells are also different.

Concorde own two, lovely bicycles in an Italian built, Belgium finished sort of way. Matched with Sante, I think this looks to be a win win bike for £300.

Cheers Chad, know about the self locking BB's although they have a mixed reputation. Pleased you've found local option for the brazing. I look forward to seeing this project progress.

I admire the commitment, although price is an issue. I have a lovely 60's French frame with Nervex lugs and in 531. Trouble is that the bottom bracketing totally stripped and it needs a respray. As such, no-one is interested in it. My advice is to spend little on this, much as you like it, the second hand market is littered with reasonable frames at cheapish prices. SJS cycles for the bottom bracket. Look at Sheldon Brown for advice, but good luck regardless.

Lovely, well done on a great build. Although more photos of the build process would be great.

SJS cycles, have a look there for your bottom bracket spares. The plastic sleeve you're after is a £5.

Gary Fisher sold - many thanks. Donation made to forum. Price drop on Frenchy to £45.

Gary Fisher pics...

Removed from the shed, given a very shoddy wash!

Yep above, Gary Fisher is complete bike...

2009 Gary Fisher Triton up for grabs. With six bikes and a possible purchase being investigated (shush don't tell the fiancee) I have this bike up for sale. It's dark metallic green and in reasonable condition. Size large (56cm or so) - it's basically the size 9 shoe of bicycles, fit for everyone approx 5' 8 to 6' 2". I can post pictures, and will get around to doing so. I offer it for a reasonable £200...

I also bring you a French Frame - possibly... 22" square or so. Beautiful Nervex lugs and made from 531, it was a project I never got around to... It's had the brazings removed and will need respraying. Unfortunately, the previous owner also removed the threading from the BB (presumably because it was French threaded). I reckon powdercoat and a self locking BB (velo orange etc) would bring this to life. A lovely winter project for someone!For this I would like £50...

Pick up for both would be Chiswick, unless you'd like to experience the burbs, in which case Walton on Thames.

I do not believe that bicycles should be left unused, but if there was ever a bicycle to hang on a wall and admire, it is this one!

F**ck this is beautiful, but two Concorde's, my Bob Jackson, a Planet X carbon for sportive type enterprises, a Pinarello (bought from... shit... you!), a Gary Fisher Triton (an unloved winter hack) and a fiancee who thinks I'm overbiked...

Congratulations to you both - but if Giles is only 15, you'd better return him ASAP!

Surely he's not Jesus, I saw his trousers were tight, but the second coming... Has he gone now and we can talk behind his back?

Donated - chapeau Ed!

With a light sprinkling of HTFU.
