1.01 Ewok?

Yeh the stems only temporary it's a long road one I had in the parts box - Need something more upright ideally. I did wonder about the flex with a longer stem + drops - Thought it could be an issue.

Figured i'd get better advice here than current projects (feel free to aim me in the direction of the correct thread)

^ British eagle shadow 531 MTB - Building it as SS for light offroad use (towpaths, and river trails, no mountains near here) and pub bike duties. Not finished yet obviously.

Question - I like the idea of dirt drops - midges most likely. But obviously the frame's not got the best geometry for it (and it's about an inch or so to small) would it be a stupid idea? (i've got my eye on a massive rise dutch bike style quill to get the bars high enough)

Can we get some of those printed for spoke cards?

^ I'll bare that in mind. Updated the post with proper large photo's.

^ tis the one yep

Carlton Track 531
52cm

Would like to sell locally + as a whole - Would consider splitting if someone wanted the frame and someone wanted the wheels. Viewings welcome.

***Specifications:

---

Carlton Reynolds 531 Track Frame (Worksop built Mid 70's) 52cm ST. Has same 'CC' cutout bottom bracket as the Raleigh Team Pro tracks of the time.
Drilled Campagnolo Ends. Non original 531 Chrome road forks with Campagnolo ends. Tange headset.
Maillard Double fixed hub + Rigida rims + Nearly new Schwalbe gumwalls.
Dirty Harry, Ultegra caliper with Swiss stop pads.
Sakae stem, Zoom alloy bars, Antique brown Fizik tape, Brooks Pro Saddle (stamped 67)
Silstar 165mm fluted Crankset (converted road) Can throw in a NOS SR 45t chainring + 18t sprocket because the gearings a little low (40/16)
SPD's pedals not included - Will add some cheapies for sale.

This rides beautifully even on longer ones - Would love to keep it as it's hard to find nice track frames in this size, but I've got a Raleigh Panasonic Team replica that needs expensive attention.

Any Questions Please ask!

£300 Special Brum price

^ no brake caliper coverage

Only from Banff? Whatabout the other 1000's of miles of Canada above that. Pussies

Had a laugh on my attempt to play polo yesterday - Was a bit of a skeptic tbh but I can understand why people love it, is very good fun!

Thanks + sorry to whoever lent me there bike - Hope i didn't damage it!

^ been riding a bit of the canals on my ss mtb recently, the problem I've found is there so inconsistent, even in a couple of miles you can encounter various qualitys of surface, ranging from stuff that would be fine on a road bike (theres a bit on the grand union that's concrete slabs) to stuff thats pretty sketchy - good fun if your'e bike can handle it

I'm looking for some 26'' tyres for a rigid mtb, for use on road through the winter (Birmingham, so lots of rain) 1.5 - 1.95 ideally, with decent grip and puncture proofness, nothing to heavy. I've got a pair of knobblies for when it gets snowy, so they won't need to deal with that.

I'm looking at schwalbe city jet's, but have heard bad thing about the performance in wet - any other suggestions?

Ikon Gallery usually has some good shows on - Combine it with a wander round the canals

Bournville's an interesting place to visit

Stay away from the bullring

^ What frames that going on steve?

I'm in a quandry with what to do with it - I got it for a song and couldn't reisist buying it (and I've never seen one this small) Ideally it needs a couple of dings filling and a respray and then built up with some nice parts - But until I can afford that I'm tempted to stick some cheaper period shimano on it and ride it like that. (the wheels are tricolor hubs- Yes, I'm aware the rear wheel is in the wrong way round)

n/m

Don't respray it, the paints lovely and unique as it is.

Looking for a 44t plus chain ring... can anyone help?

What BCD?
