Interesting... have never been able to work out what this is, closest got was pointing to Holdsworth. Again, track dropouts but frame has cable run and is drilled for brakes.

Frame number is 118592

OP - Hope you get the answer you're looking for!

To add mine to the Peugot thread:

From this (as found on NCN route 6):

To a beater build with spares knocking about + new cables and bar tape:

Found this abandoned on a bike path, was missing wheels, rear mech and front mech and shifters were damaged so it's my new pub bike once finished...

Quick 'n dirty build - thrown together with bits I've got knocking about (and some bargain Pink tape)

Maybe it'll make Anti ;)

Have you flexed it a bit once you've put the pin back in? I find most chains are a bit jammed at the joining pin until flexed a bit.

^ Interesting. Can you please expand on that, with specific examples showing where neglect has been a winner for cycling, in comparison to the other N.European countries you mention.

I'm very skinny and my non-Campag overshoes are baggy on the ankle. It hasn't bothered me much.

Feeling quite down. Got an idea or 2 up my sleeve tho for some ventures post-3rd sector employment. Keep positive but not easy. Hammond won't last long with any luck. Interested to see what the new dft active travel strategy will look like tho - the feb 2010 doc is still up on the dft site.

or old inner tube? not pretty but could work...

result :)

dibs then! Will PM.

could you post?

Yes, should do, as a general rule lower the water temp to boost acidity and subdue bitterness, raise it if you're experiencing excessive brightness or sourness.

The brew instructions are a general good starting point, tweak the dose and / or steep time (just do one at a time when experimenting) if you're not happy with the brew strength.

Cool, thanks.

love the cat in that photo

Roxy, super cute :)

moving house much?

nah I love loaded up bikes, when I was little I spent literally days hacking bits of wheel and wood together to make shift trailers in which I could drag stuff around in. THe best bit was taking it to the allotments then thrashing through the potholes and puddles to see how much abuse it could take*

*normally, not much O_o

I had just moved house and this me getting alot of my work stuff to new office (including the bike + trailer which are kept there)

saw one of these yesterday, brilliant!

Brilliant!

cheers - yeah, already learned the seatpost dimensions are not standard.

Headset needs new bearings as pitted - bottom side bearings were held loose, top ones caged - don't think it'll be a problem to have loose on both ends so long as I use correct size and the right number? BB spinning really nicely though.

Guessing the inner ring will give me a nice chainline to run single speed, am chasing a freewheel at the mo so hopefully up and running soon.

Gonna chop and flip the bars too - this was a low end model back in the day so not too fussed about butchering the parts a tiny bit.

Nice one, thanks. Will swing by both sometime. Cheers.

Took my fixed out on a (Tri) club ride for the first time Sunday. 40 miles no gears to worry about, steady pedalling. Lovely. Had run XC day before, can barely walk today, hence glued to the interwebz.

@rhb

you'd think that, but check out this:

i'm gonna try that next time i think. might or might not work, only one way to find out. and only liars don't like beer.

I don't like Bud or Becks (and the fact they don't match). A couple of Theakstons Old Peculier though...

Sealskinz Merino liners - work a treat. And don't smell.

Had some of these and went through finger ends in about a week. GF did the same. Rubbish.

Using cheap M&S wooly gloves under Sealskin outers at the mo, working fine, and cheaper to replace if I do go through them.

My functional bike...

Bump... Loving the likes of Marble and Hilary Step but looking for nice pub (real ale style) with a Pool Table, and decent juke box. Chorlton area if poss. Any offers?

That'll be the Sumatra Sidikalang? Cafetiere is ideal, you needn't miss out on anything. The banana and cider apple are at the acid end of the flavour scale, so make sure you're cooling the water well before brewing - open the lid of the kettle and let it stand for about 3 mins. Grind really coarse, go for 60g/l dose and steep for 4-5 mins and you should be getting all that good stuff rom it

Nice one thanks, yes that's the coffee. Tried the above today and it's a very different brew to yesterday.

Will a similar approach bring out more blackcurrant and liquorice in the Kenyan Peaberry i've got?

Fixed with squeezy hooter on handlebars passing Carringtons just now... I like this game. :)

Edit - grey fixed + beanie hat + cred busting leg over bars dismount outside mcdonalds just now...

I rode 40 fixed out around Tatton way with the Tri club earlier today. Very flat and fixed friendly lanes. Might join a future Sat ride on weekends where can't do my usual Sunday routine.

Not my cupping notes, hasbeans. Defo a very different coffee to previous chocolatey brews tho i'm not really getting banana or cider from it... (like i do choco from the choco ones)
