Happy birthday Fiddy, Have a good one!

Nervex, not Nirvex.

Front and rear, 120mm spacing rear, 100mm front. Preferably fixed/free, would settle for other combi though, as long as it has a fixed...

Cheers :)

platlets, perhaps?

Secularist. Racist. Pessimist.

What were the orange lollies called? The ones which were unadulterated frozen orange juice? I could do with one of those right about now.

Yea, but it doesn't look as nice...

Are you sure it's the wheels? I had an old bike with no front brake... right death trap, got it from the tip and rode it into the ground... anyway, the hole in the forks to mount the brake on whistled... covered it up with a bit of tape and it stopped... could this be it?

b-b-b-bump!

Can't be done as I understand it...
Chroming is a dip process, i.e. the object to be plated is submerged in a solution and an electric current is applied to the metal... the current attracts the metal to the frame and bonds it on. As far as I know, there is no way of just plating the lugs... I don't know how they do it...

Anyway, the reason I bumped this thread, I am about to buy a set of cranks and chainring on the bay, I was thinking of re-chroming... I'm not sure the ring needs it, but I might get it done anyway. Will the process weaken or damage the parts, or, is it like repainting?

I swear at drivers who honk at me, as I'm going through red lights...

Same... And when it's my fault... moogs is always chastising me for it, I can't whistle and I have an obscenely loud voice, so, yelling is my only option. he doesn't like it :(

How dare you, the typography alone took several minutes - and the anatomically correct illustration of the man on bike was the end result of several weeks of studies of Tour winners from the last 5 decades.

Might look nice in colour, you know, for the kids, the kids love a bit of colour:

I love this one, I would buy this for real...

It would look better in black though, with all the line art in white...

are the rims single wall, or, are they extruded like modern rims?

you know what, I think the wheel could just be at an angle, giving the illusion that the forks are misaligned. I just gave that a look over on my bike, would make sense...

perhaps we could get a measurement of the clearance between the front wheel and the frame, at it's smallest point, with the wheel dead straight, and a shot of the headtube, at the bottom

Anyone know what the distance should be? probably not very accurate because tyres are diferent... but meh

I thought they looked a little off, but even now you have said it, I'm not sure...

hang on

hmmmmm, polo... it's tempting...

I'll take the headset please. PM sent.

looks like the frame is busted too, the toptube is all bent...

I picked up a pair of clubs which sound similar to these, for the very same purpose at a car boot the other week. 50p each.
