After a single half link for a build, no joy at any LBS today.

Local pick up tonight / tomorrow AM would be great.

Based N5

Very apt username.

Headset in, pedals stripped and repacked.

With the state of the frame, and Klunker-lite dream in mind, I decided the BB shell had to be chopped, faced and beveled (for the YST bb) using whatever means I had to hand.

I'll spare you the gory details, but it's done and measures about 68mm wide (more or less). BB is in with plenty of torque and locktite. We'll see if it holds.

Big thanks to @littleK who dropped off some LH crank options last night. Just chainring, saddle and SOMA quill extender to come.

Costs now, or down the line? Wheelsets tend to last longer due to the rotor being sacrificial rather than the rim, and will be future proofed better as discs are a more contemporary system. Lots of cheap hardware out there, but it would require disc specific wheel.

You can either use an adapter like the above, or get a frame builder to braze on tabs. Not always recommended but it looks like a strong frame in good condition.

Another option would be to mount center pull or other wide fit, long drop caliper to the seat stay bridge.

Or convert to disc

Ah brilliant. I'll be getting onto this later in the week so will let you know how it goes.

This is troubling, and also intriguing.

Might very well hit you up if anything else fails to materialise.

Ah great!

Bottom bracket is due to be chopped to size. YST bottom bracket arrived today. If I can get it looking respectable by saw and file then I'm going to skip over getting it faced.

This is gooooood news

As titled, comes with everything pictured.

Collection Albion Rd, N16

Give me your tired left cranks, your poor parts-bin bastards, your lonely non-drive side silvery bits yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Picked up some tyres at the weekend, and a few bits arrived today.

Potentially only a left crank away from having something rideable this week

a YAK in a skip? Fucken what

I'll take the Genesis Saddle, PM sent

Yes

Is this a purge? Whatever it is I'm for it. Purism can

Green fork looks really great

Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Nodders welcome

Great bikes, glws!

Too logical

Surely Mr English could have found more elegant ways to extend a steerer.

The only plausible explanation is that the Caravan-in-Minehead-Owner aesthetic has finally hit.
