Ah! Thanks for telling me. Should be fixed now.

Replying to PMs...

gone elsewhere

Record headset not for sale, sorry. I was gonna but I will finish that particular project.

I know the pics are crap, just PM me if you have questions.

Barrel adjusters, I think, are meant to go on the old style shimano shifters, so gear. They're probably fine for brake cables too mind.

I'm getting out of the vintage bike game, I have just lost interest in it. Now these are taking up space in my house. Looking for quick sales to loving homes rather than maximum money here. I have loads of parts to listed separately, can make a deal if you're after bits to finish one of these off. https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/313723/

FW Evans Fixed Conversion 56st x 55tt

531c, seemed very light and whippy feeling to me. I did really enjoy riding it but it's only been ridden twice in 2 years.
Campag ultra-torque alloy chainset and BB with TA 47t chainring. SRAM PC-1 chain.
DMR V8 pedals with pretty wrecked Bagaboo camo straps
Fixed wheelset. Mavic A319 on XT hubs. Velosolo bolt-on cog 16t. Mismatched 23c tyres. Obligatory "rear has never seen a brake"
Cheap headset and stem
Seat post not included, you can have the minging saddle tho...
There's a Tiagra front brake and a clamp on lever. Just needs some 26.0mm clamp bars and you're riding.

Gazelle Cross Trophy 56x56

531, 1985 I think it was made. It's in the Gazelle catalogue for that year anyway. I really wanted a vintage CX frame and now I have one I totally can't be arsed to make it into a bike.
Mavic 500 hubs, Mavic Open 4 CD rims. Loads of life left. Screw-on 6 speed block.
91 XT Chainset & RD. 105 FD.
91 XT Canti's, but the frame has very narrow posts so these brakes won't work. You'll need to source 1980's vintage canti's
Cheap seatpost as it's 26.4, cheap headset and hanger.
Will probably keep the Concor but you can always make an offer.

Is this a Boss DF-2 clone?

I didn't come away from this vid with huge respect for her guitar skills but she does seem quite cool. I like the headstock too /shrug

John 5 however... I looked up his solo music on Spotify. The album I listened to was like the guitar equivalent of the "Demo" button on keyboard. All present and correct technically and musically but devoid of soul and interest. I guess his music is advertising for his guitar ability to work for other people in their bands.

I really like the HH Telecaster John 5 sig model too. /anothershrug

How was Unsane? I was pretty tempted to go but didn't in the end

Musicman St Vincent?

I really like the shape and the stealth black one looks awesome. Shame it's £2300 and so about 10x my budget...

Hope this ain't a repost

Yep, that's exactly what I meant.

Folk are welcome to give it a go and report back.

LHD fixed hub? I second troll.

Still, those wheels exist. They could make any build anti

That's a shame. Thanks for the pic. I'm off to listen to Slayer to console myself

I can see the BMX stem in the background but does it say SLAYER on it?

@eddygordouk For your Look?

Wait, no one bought the Wound-Ups yet?

edit: PM'd

Saw this wonderfully named guitar in a Tokyo secondhand shop.

Can any other readers top it?

I had hoped I would see some cool bikes in Tokyo but that one was a surprise. I could ask if it is for sale, I'm here 'til Sat

Probably a repost but I spotted this in 109 Mens clothes shop right on Shibuya crossing in Tokyo.

Nice of you to offer, I'm in Brighton but maybe @Tomo187 could receive it for me.

It's almost as if reality doesn't conform to easily applied one-size-fits-all rules for every situation.

To elaborate, your crime example could be supported by evidence that shoplifters rarely reoffend after rehabilitation but pedophiles don't. I doubt this is actually true but taking the view that all arguments must be extended outwards until they fail and then abandoned makes it kind of hard to have any arguments at all.

That's a rat bike. Comes from rat look. Think that was a hot-rod, drag race, VW Beetle modding thing.

ratty is a similar term, one that google defines in one sense as in bad condition; shabby or ramshackle.

it was a 10mm BCR for your PA wasn't it?
