i want that one...

Ok so I've cleaned the inside of the seat post with white spirit but the seat post still won't go in.

I've measured the tube and the post - both are 27.2 mm. It looks like the problem is that the top part of the seat tube is slightly mishappen - maybe by 0.1mm.

My options seem to be get a 27.0mm seat post, get LBS to ream the tube or try and file away at the tube until the post goes in (tried this a bit but does not seem to be helping much). Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Don't know if this is kosher, but I had the same problem. I used a file on the end of my seat post to make it into a more gradual slope, so it was a bit thinner to begin with. then with grease and muscles twisted it in...

after that first effort it now goes in and out fine.

like a virgin

yeah, the bottom of the drops are not parallel to the TT. this may be personal preference, since i've seen quite a few bikes this way. but i think they look better level.

hell of alot more comfortable as they are in that picture though!

I think that bike looks beautiful... jealous!

is it a really big chain ring - or really ickle wheels?

Paedo's a word that's thrown around alot these days... - it's ok if it's consensual right?

I'd rather be keeping a sensible distance from the inside of a car and be aware of what is behind me so that if a car does swerve, none of the above happens.

I don't know if things are any different in the big smoke but on my commute into leeds that is not often a possibility - what with cars parked in, pulling over into or driving in cycle lanes, or driving 2 up on a single carriage way. it's either over take, on the pavement, or wait and travel at the speed of the (5 mile long) traffic jam - what would be the point in cycling then?

Riding on the pavement is for cunts and paedos. Fact.

Car drifts over your way - you either slam on the brakes , risking causing a collision from behind, crash into the car (who's gonna win that one?), crash into the kerb and come off or think fast and hop up the kerb.

So you'd rather get knocked off?

undertake overtake use the pavement do whatever as long as you've got your eyes open and are in control of your bike you'll be fine - i don't believe this applies to newbie brakeless hipsters though.

I'm feeling a bit warm, is that the impending flaming?

I know this question has been asked before, but can't find anywhere with them in stock cheap...

Ordered them from Wiggle - £6.29 + free delivery if anyone else is after some!

Cheers!

Yay Campag! Only took them 20 years to copy the slant parallelogram off Suntour

Didn't suntour patent the hell out of it, making it impossible for campag to copy?

edits realise I was too late with this comment!

I've had a look through quite a bit of it, but alot of the images don't display as my works web access is restricted.

You've just made my point ed, they may be reposts, but they are still good looking pieces of kit, so if it's been a while why not take the time to enjoy again?

If I could be arsed to browse through 20939 posts for these, then I might care if they were reposts - that first one looks sweet, and the tomasini is fit.

you got something better under your stairs pistanator?

what about these?

try taking your cog and lockring off, locktite em, put them back on tight as possible, go and stomp on the pedals up a steep hill, then at the top tighten up your lock ring as tight as poss. repeat.

if that doesn't fix it I'll eat my hat

cup = not too tight, lock ring = tight as hell, right?

Lockring on your wheel rather than you crankset? I know you said it's your cranks but definitely sounds like the problem I had with my cog unscrewing a little then tightening back up...

is it the crank or is it a slack chain?

also -

one piece crank

2 piece crank

3 piece crank

slack chain

mmmm sacrilegeous...

You'd likely struggle with crank arm/chainstay clearance, with a MTN frame/ track crank set-up anyway.

Bollocks. Do something insane to anger the bike goods, like mix Campag and Shimano, and your toes will fall off in your sleep. Fact!

I have done this, on a 1950s hetchins curly as well - does this mean I'm going to hell?

MP3 player..?

How fit is that, i mean really!? doesn't look like a grands worth at all does it... more like 3!

plus on the ribble site you can choose finishing kit sizes, ratios and coloured tyres to suit, do many manufacturers do that?

I ride through headingley in and out of work will keep my eyes open - if they've kept the yellow seat will make it easier to spot.

I have taken to now cycling around any car stopped in the area, pulling up in front of them and deliberately putting a foot down, then taking my time setting off, getting foot in and crawl away from the line - couple of beeps so far, which result in an even more leisurely pace - 1 - nil ! wankers - that's not a taxi painted in white on the red there you know!

have you got a pic that i can see? my web access is restricted but I can see photos uploaded to lgfss... could be after a black medium.

edit - found a pic - yeah have me one of those - what details you need for payment?
