I thought all Aussies got up at dawn?

Ok, cool, just waiting to hear back from Jase and will let you know.

I'll stick on in the first post for you. It's not a great photo though, sorry. I'm heading to melbourne on the 15th, will be there for 17th... hopefully!

@ Sumo. I'm sure you have too many bikes already ,but because its you I shall ship to indonesia, but i require all your bank details and payment in Ugandan shillings via my offshore account.

... thanks hippy. From what i see round here though, unless it's crabon and very expensive with huge logo's it's not "sydney" enough.

Not a detailed for sale thread as i don't really want PM's asking if the bike is still available by people that haven't read the whole thread.

This bike is in Sydney, and i won't be posting it, however I know there are a few guys on here from Sydney and Melbourne (where i'm heading next), so if anyone from these parts is interested i'll post some pics and details. Its an orange pulse with shimano group and suntour suberpe pro hubs to rigida rims. Looking for about 300 buckero's?

Ta very much

cos they're swissstop.
And they have 4 s'

ftfy

And straight into storage until the HHSB revival... coming summer 2019

I have five meercats lined infront of me in ascending height... do i spend my evening painting stars and stripes onto them, or just wait for Mr Munch to arrive?

I didn't bother to research on the net for similar products...Still prefer my own design though....

FTFY... Yours are certainly the nicest and best crafted though ;-)

Where in aus?

might need a frameset too!

9 hours travel later...

Why you think I'm selling this? My missus got a twenty also, and another project on the go! But if I keep this and get a tirdh bike I'll be sleeping on the sofa!
One in one out!

I got around this by building 2 (pretty much same as yours, but with big sprung brooks saddles on), one for me, and one for her. A lot of time and effort and first time she used them both with a friend and they were stolen.(so that was 2 out i guess)
However the brief ride i did have, i really enjoyed, great fun and surprisingly nippy across town. Well worth the money, you would spend more to make it like this even with a free 20 to start!

fuckin hell chops, you did well to walk away from that... luck of the Irish I guess.
Now maybe its not so shit to have a van after all! Blag some compensation and come visit me. I could do with some help over here, i'll pay you in small amounts of titanium so you can patch it back together

Check it out!
It is a singlespeed build from an old racing frame

I have chosen to paint the cranks white too so I left them on... love it

Ooooh yeah.

I found one of these, NOS, in a bike shop in Sydney. Bargainous price of $600 (£400)!!!!! Needless to say, I emptied my wallet on the spot. Have no idea how I'll afford to build it up though...

Which bike shop might that be? Do they have any other gems?

There it is, Its almost worth it for the matching pair, even though its too small and would cost me another 500 quid to build it up with record. Maybe if i had a taller girlfriend... who liked bikes, we could ride around in matching jackets... or do i just have it on the wall??:-)

Thanks for the link and comment, its changed a bit now, got some cloth clad pistas and some gumwalls; will get a recent shot up soon.

Pretty good deal over on Bikeradar

Did anyone buy this, was hoping to get a matching road bike, but alas... too slow it appears? How much was it, what size was it... and who has it now? :-)

I left a brown turbo in the flat. Sam had it on his bike a while... but if you want shitty, thats the ticket.

Sounds like a plumber talking

Guy, i'll send payment tonight, and PM my address.

Why don't you get a new steerer fitted, sure it would be cheaper in the long run than all this faffing/changing to threaded headset/milling headtube... plus then you could ride it rather than just taking photos of it? :-)

Also, where you had the issues with the carbon steerer shattering if it was not long enough, if you can get closer with the steel steerer through headset and stem, will you not be alright if a few mm short.

1 last thought, as a bit of a bodge, but a completely hidden one, could you fit a quill/threadless adaptor into the steerer, and use that as a kind of extension piece. It would give you probably an extra 30mm, and is essentially proven to be strong enough. *

*waits for firing squad to wake up

Can i arrange pickup for the brake guy?

PM'd re clamp on, so I guess dibs

Dutch, a bit late, but thanks for those cable stops, got them in the post about 3 days later, and they are sitting proud and shiney!
