Well, yes. It is the post right on top of yours on previous page https://www.lfgss.com/comments/12489273/

I will take some more photos when it is done...

wow

Cool. Kind of like what I am building. I am also looking for 26" mudguards.

That one just needs canti brakes, narrow wide chainring and compact bars... imo. Looks great!

Edit: I see what tester is saying. U brake on the back...

Cheers. Yes it is almost there. It is a little small like you said. If I had a longer forksteerer and a +400mm ø30mm seatpost it would be great. Reach is perfect.

I need to fix the rack so it is level. Chain and cables go on tonight I hope. Ended up being a bit too nice looking for a beater, but it was cheap so no worries parking it around creepy thiefy London...

Stem is good. Does it need to be a fancy headset?
You need something like this I think

It doesn't say stack height, but it looks similar to mine. Maybe ask seller...

EDIT:
28mm

This is headset #stacklimbo

It's pretty easy to measure now though.
A headset is ca. 34mm stack height, stem ca. 40mm so if you have +/- 74mm you can make it work.
If not, you will have get a low stack aheadset and a low stack stem. Old Cane creek ball bearing headsets and old FSA stems ahead stems are pretty low stack.
I had to put a pretty low stack headset on mine because of this same problem...

That will be dope for sure. You have enough steerer on there?

Cool, I don't know if I can make it tonight, but I will try. If not I hope to see you there next wednesday ;-)

Uhh great. Found it http://shop.hackneygt.com/events.html

Anybody on here attending?

I am in Wood Green but don't mind riding a bit to get there.
I have been going to Epping and training there. But I wouldn't min a bit more organized regular training. Meeting other people and all that. Also once I get a job I need to go riding in the evenings and a lit facilities would be nice.

I am used to training at the outdoor velodrome in my home city. 25-50 people attending on regular basis for 2-3 hours free training every wednesday:

For combi pedals I have really enjoyed these. A bit heavy perhaps, but excellent feet support in reg shoes and spd side works a charm. Bearings seem to last forever and the style is neutral.

Ok thank you. Are all the races of the London League this far away from London?

Stanmer Park

I googled this. It is in Brighton no?
If I would want to go to this race, what would be the smartest way to get there? I haven't got a car obviously...

Also, Is there regular/weekly training in London somewhere?

No, unfortunately you can not do that. Reaming isn't about removing material form the tube. It is more a matter of 'rounding the inside' after heat has de-shaped the tube and removing burrs.
0.2 mm doesn't sound like a lot, but it is in a tube. Get the right seat post.

Thanks will do.

If you have enough clearance for tyres and like the geometry sure why not. I am a strong believer in aggressive geometry for sscx, no doubt.
The studs are really realy cheap from ceeway, but I have actually had great succes cutting them off trashed frames and reuse them.

You could make something like this

But they don't need to sit perfect. You can make the brake work even if you just eyeball it.
What I am saying is that, although risking your frame, you could do it yourself or get a local blacksmith to do it for a case of beers.

Well, I was sceptic upon buying my A719 and I still haven't ridden them. But they look and feel incredibly nice and I have faith in their ride quality and width.

Thank you. I am so glad you all talked me into a light color.
I will re grease the bearings and try adjusting cones.

.

That doesn't sound all road to me

But which ones?

Homebase has it and is close by. Thank you very much!!!

Great. Can't wait. Found photos of my old Kona the other day. Got all soft looking at them...

Because getting a frame builder to put on cantilever studs is going to cost you money + money for new paint. And still the frame will not be optimised for mud and big tyres.
