Hope you didn't miss this, Current Projects a few days ago. Go.

Cool, you did a really nice job! How long did it take? How much did the materials set you back? Nicer brazing than some of the bikes I've seen Hilary selling. Well done.

So, how are you getting on Spotter?

CARLTON FLYER TRACK FRAME

£100 including postage?

Joke?

Nice one Dr. you're a gent, PM sent.

Hmmmm! What would it take to convince you to post the turbo suede to Dublin? I've been thinking I'd like to try recovering a saddle.

already discussed Tiswas

Na, he's selling the same stuff on retrobike, gumtree etc. That IS against the rules. Nuke him. ;)

You and your disgusting dirty jumper can piss off!

I'm not adverse to spending several hours on them since I've only recently discovered the sheer wonder of autosol! It's possibly in my top 10 greatest things ever. However I generally find spokes a bit of a pain! How often do you think the process need to be repeated?

That makes sense! Although the seller did describe them as double butted stainless steel. Now that you mention it I would be very interested in learning how to rebuild a wheel. Might be as good a time as any :)

Hey there! So, I'm looking to buy a new (vintage) wheelset and am considering a reasonably priced pair on campy record hubs. Thing is, the stainless steel spokes are looking a tad rusty and shinyness is a quality I value quite highly. What I want to know is, is there an effective treatment that will not only clean them up nicely but also prevent the rust or dull corrosion returning? What I was planning was..

1) Some oil on scotchbrite to get rid of the rust.
2) Autosol metal polish to shine them up.
3) Turtle wax to protect them.

Does this plan sound like it would be effective? Should there be wet/dry sandpaper in there somewhere? Or maybe I'm way off and there is no real way to prevent the spoke rust/corrosion coming back? I'd be interested to know how you guys maintain or restore your wheels. Cheers.

Surely option 2 is the only way to go! New Bottom Brackets can be bought new for as little as £6 on Chainreaction.

Can't believe I just wasted 25 minutes reading through the original thread. I feel like I've just given myself a lobotomy.

beautiful

No.1 absorbed a massive amount of crap for doing very little wrong. He has every right to be angry at the treatment he received. That said No.1, since I imagine most people here will have no problem dealing with you in the future, you should probably just drop it. There's nothing more to be gained from going on about it.

Ah I see.... fair enough.

Hey, can we sticky Sumo's new thread on uploading photos to the top of the forum help section to stop it getting lost? The classifieds are over run with people unsure of how to put up photos the last few days.

Can we sticky this to the top of the forum help section?

Brilliant. Thanks sumo.

Go on just post your whole room, sounds awesome! Have you got one of these?

Can you post some more pictures of the AT-AT please?

There should really be a sticky - step by step guide to the various methods of uploading pictures, it's a total pain.

Fair result.

yeah, now they'll just be drunk and angry.
