Unbelievable, I will not go further into this...

You're not serious, are you?

The negative effects will be so much more substantial than the ostensible advantages...

Do you think some well-trained cop could keep up with anyone else on a light nice bike, when he has to use a 17.6kg bike?

ATTENTION:
Berlin has now a "Fahrradstaffel" = i.e. organized cops on bikes, for the first time.

All has started yesterday, 16th July 2014.

Link: http://www.morgenpost.de/berlin/article130240115/Fahrradstaffel-im-Einsatz-gegen-Rad-Rowdys.html

Facts: 15 male and 5 female cops
Bikes: crappy Hartje Nanago 11-speed trekking bikes, each weighs 17.6kg (ha-ha)
Area: Mitte and partly Tiergarten (Regierungsviertel)
Time: 7:00-20:00, one shift from 7-14, other one from 13-20, apparently just two cops together every day

Obviously these are horrible news, as they will (unlike I remember in the UK) also control if you have two brakes, a bell, wheel and pedal reflectors, lights and all that shit.

What a stupid measure to make people stay away from using bicycles - so wrong and idiotic. It all goes SO in the wrong direction.

Hi,
I am looking for a pair of all-black wide clincher rims (i.e. the brake surface is dark, too, usually hard-anodized), at least ETRTO 622-19 wide, ideally 622-21 or more.
For **rim **brakes, only, please!

Alesa, for example has produced those things in the past, like the Alesa 9021 for example. Not sure if Mavic has ever done a 622-19 or wider in their ceramic coating which would be great, too.

Either just the rims, or a complete wheelset.

PM me!

In the meantime (~4 years, to be honest), do can has people in china stolen my idea?

Just wonderin' if those folks have an eye on lfgss sometimes...

BUMP - if it's the Fortezza, only the ones with the old, small logo please!

Something of good value (SR, Ritchey etc.) would be good, not too posh, not too taiwanese.

PM please!

just the milling and the baking

the welding will be done by someone who knows his business

Looking for a pair of all-black 700x23 Vredestein Fortezza clincher or Veloflex Corsa 700x23 (all-black) clincher tyres

...or any other pair of a folding all-black 700x23 clincher with a slick or herringbone tread and no ugly modern large logo graphics.

PM me!

Obviously the part needs to be completely clean before

bumpity bump

Apparently I'm lucky, just found out that 7005 aluminium is quite easy to repair as it does not need annealing after welding, just a two-step ageing procedure of baking it in the oven for 6 hours at ~95°C and then for another 4 hours at ~160°C , and that's it.

No one? By the way, its 7005 aluminium, at least thats what it says on the tube. Not sure if the pieces at the end of the tube could be 7005 as well?

Hi,
I recently bought an old 700c full suspension aluminium frame in order to build up a SSFS bike.

The problem is that there is a small crack on the joint piece near the dropout.
As it is a FS frame, the frame consists of several parts, i.e. we are talking about the "chainstay part". As this part is not that big, I could even imagine having it hardened after the repair.

I have thought how it could be repaired and would like to hear your thoughts. BTW, I have the feeling that the crack did not come from
excessive stress, but because of non-chamfered (too sharp) edges on the part.
The current situation is this:

The area where the crack is, is solid, i.e. not a tube. And I had the idea that the crack could be milled out completely (a 3mm mill head for example would be wide enough) and then the gap is TIG-filled with aluminium:

By the way, this is the whole frame:

What do you think?

bump, need something wider or at least 622-21

horizontal, but short - might work with a half-link

Hi, I am looking for a 700c wheelset from an old trekking bike or similar, i.e. a 700c wheelset with a bit wider rims (like 21-622 or so) that can fit wider tyres.

The rims shall be all black, including brakewalls (for example Alesa or Rigida made stuff like that), and rim-brake compatible, i.e. please no modern disc-only wheelsets.

Hubs don't matter that much, just anything that works ok.

Might consider to buy just rims if no one has a wheelset.

Must be able to ship.

I am looking for some nice vintage 700c cyclocross suspension forks with 1" steerer in ok condition.

Unsual construction types (AMP etc.) preferred!

Let me know if you have something like this for sale,
