Cool, just thought it looked roughly my size.

Different strokes for different folks I guess (tyres) :)

No worries man...they may have to come off soon anyway, don't think veloflex were made going brakeless around town!

Re: Nigel Dean;

Nice frame dude but those tyres are vile!!

What size is it? 60cm?

Don't say that, I just spent 60 quid on them! I like the tyres, although not on a deep v - I'm hoping that they'll look much better with a low profile rims. Frame's 59 c-c and 61 c-t, ok?

Eoinmc, any change of making the images bigger?

I'll try! How's this....

These are two bikes that I am building up. Kinda stalled at the moment because I'm poor. I built the Bob for my girl, it's a combo of bits I bought (frame from Tika, rear deep v) and lots of bits I had hanging around. She's happy with it so it'll probably stay as is.

The Nigel Dean is mine. It's a Reynolds 653 that I got from Organicorigin. I'd like to change the wheelset for something Campag-ish with a box/low profile, get a nicer seatpost than the Charge Plug one there at the moment and I'm waiting on some Nitto B125 drops too. I'll probably change the saddle for a Concor as well and throw on some tape so it's allowed onto Herne Hill.

I love that bike so much, I wanna take it behind the middle school and get it pregnant!

They're drops, similar but not as deep as B123's. Thanks for the offer but I don't want bars that wide, or gold!

Hello,

As the title says, I'm looking for either B125's or B125AA's, preferably the latter. Size-wise, I'd like 38cm or 37cm if they exist. Not too pushed on condition.
I'll probably buy some in a shop over the weekend, but thought I'd try here first in case anyone has some lying around.

Cheers...

Will do, I'm very interested, just need to sort the logistics and hopefully I'll be back to you soon! Cheers...

Yeah, 59. Where the hell did I get 159 from?

Ok dude, stay in touch.

It's a massive 159 with a few large paint chips. Frame and forks with a celeste green selle italia for 420 if you want.

159?? Do you mean 59cm? I hope so, it sounds good. I had some cash so was looking out for a Concept for ages but gave up and bought something else a fortnight ago. I might try shift it to free up some cash and get back to you, ok?

I'm also looking for a single crank dust cap after losing one over the weekend - the current Record Pista ones. Let me know? Cheers...

I wish I bought a Pista Concept by accident! Dibs if you want to get rid of it....

Model 1 stem and 67 bars i guess

Thanks Frank!

I think there are just 2 sizes for fork races for 1" forks and head sets:
26.4mm is most common. I think Campagnolo is always 26.4mm.
27.0mm is a bit odd, mainly for cheaper bikes.

Thanks DC,

It was a cheapish headset so therein may lie the problem. I just assumed all 1" headset would be compatible with the fork. At least I know now, just a shame the bike shop salesperson didn't....

want.

Can anyone id the stem and bars? I'd love to get that style of handlebar setup without going down the nitto route. The only description given is 'cinelli'! Cheers....

Cheers all!

n3lson - seeing as it's a Bob Jackson, I'd assumed the fork would be English threaded!

sasmon - guess I could try filing the bottom of the fork down a bit.

Balki - ?

iro_dan - cheers, thought that used to be the case, but in this day and age???

Appreciate the responses y'all...

Hello,

I spent the most part of yesterday evening trying to install a new one inch threaded headset onto a 80's(ish) Bob Jackson frame, to no avail. Two problems...

1. The crown race doesn't seem like it'll fit. I've installed a good few before, I know it involves liberal use of a hammer, but this one wouldn't seem to budge at all.

2. While trying to screw on the adjustable race, I just ended up starting to rethread the fork, it wouldn't go. The threads do seem pretty old and worn anyway. Bear in mind that the headset I removed was one of those old ones that's neither 1" or 1 & 1/8".

So is it possible that the an older fork isn't compatible with a newer headset? Also, could the threads on the fork be worn beyond use/repair? Should I just get a new fork?

Any advice appreciated, cheers!

And I'll join the back of the queue....

Campag pedals please, pm coming! ta...

I was just about to go and spend lots of money on some new yellow Veloflex tyres....what are the odds?

Pm'd, cheers....

Bah, would've really liked something like these? Any chance you could tell how much they sold for please?

hi!

Ha, I meant tonight but thanks and hi!

Hey, sent you a pm a couple of hours ago about this....did you get it? Add me accordingly to your dibs list please!

Shit, forgot about this thread, thanks for all the replies people!

Anyway, for future reference, it went fine.

Bike bag + big storage cabins = no problem.

Actually have to pass on the SR TRACK PEDALS, available for someone else now!
