Can I dibs this for a friend, seeing them at lunch so can let you know then.

i'll pass on the force stuff thanks, don't really know where i was going to put them. How much do you think postage will be?

If you don't mind posting can I dibs:

SRAM PG850: 8spd cassette, 12-26, used once. £10
SR Custom Quill Stems: 1 x 80mm £5 each
Shimano 105 Clamp on Front Derailleurs x1

also possible the force stuff if you can get a better pic.

tightening up enough to hold it in the frame stops the caliper from moving freely

Has anyone got a spare serrated washer for fitting a dual caliper brake. I somehow lost mine when moving it between bikes. If someone could pop one in the post to me I'd be eternally grateful.

Looking for some of the above, will need posting.

A long shot but does anyone have any of these in 26.0mm going spare, could maybe get away with a size bigger or smaller as well.

I have a fillet brazed cougar frameset for sale, it early 90s so vintage depending on how old you are.

well the my reach is fine so maybe i just need some shallow drops. Anybody know of any shiney silver relatively shallow drop bars?

Wind up the nipples on the drive side spokes up to the end of the thread but leave one thread showing on the non-drive. Work with the drive side during the initial stages of the truing / tensioning process and the rim will start off being dished too far to the right. This is what I do. I then find that the rim "drifts" to the left (non-drive side) as I bring up the tension. Once I've got the tension near the recommended amount on the drive side I'm still usually a few mm too far to the right. I then tension only the left side to dish and true simultaneously and I end up dead centre.

It's the same for disc front wheels and single sided track wheels.

thanks will give it a try

i shall have a look, i thought a compact bar was just a bar with a shallow drop?

still a bit pricey for me, was looking for something sub 20 really.

Mavic a119, tiagra, 3 cross, 292DS 294NDS (spoke lengths are off the top of my head, they may be a bit different).

Anybody know any compact shiney bars that aren't too expensive, don't fancy splashing out on Nittos?

Any tips for getting the dish right on a rear wheel? I'm currently building my second one now. I remember it being the trickiest part the first time i did it so was wondering if there were any nuggets of wisdom out there.

I bought this frameset from retrobike,

I had it powder coated in a dark grey metallic and then it looked like this:

apologies for the shit phone pic, I built it up with a spare groupset I had knocking about.

I thought it looked pretty good, since then I have been offered a SRAM Force groupset. My original plan being to strip the old stuff from this frame and fit the force kit to here. My second plan was to fit the Force kit to my Equilibrium and move the 105 kit over to the Graham.

Anybody have an opinion?

you can keep the crappy seatpost bump

I'm just under 6 foot. I think if i was a bit more limber it would be a better fit. If you are anywhere near; its currently still built up so you're welcome to have a go.

Cougar audax frame with mudguard eyelets and rear rack mounts. It is built from Reynolds 531 designer select tubing.

ST = 58 CTC or 61 CTC
TT = 58 CTC
HT = 16

Had a fairly recent powder coat but they haven't done a brilliant job. There seems to be a piece of something stuck in it on the top tube (right). Since powder coating I have managed to add a scratch (middle) and another mark to the top tube (left).

BIG PIC LINK

Comes with a pretty much new stronglight a9 headset n/b non original seat post bolt. After the powdeer coating i had the bb threads chased so everything is good to go.

I can include the functional but tatty seatpost and a new set of cougar decals with the frame. I have a box ready to ship this, else if someone wants to save a bit of cash i'm in London for the great British beer festival and can bring it down then.

£100 collected from Nottingham or plus postage and fees.

I have a cougar frame and forks which will be up for sale soon. It is built from 531 designer select tubing, comes with mudguard eyes and rear rack mounts. I can check the size for you if your interested but i, sure it about 58 as its too big for me. Its recently been powder coated. The most up to date pic I have is

Its the blue one at the front obv.

I've got a cougar 531 designer select frameset. I think it'd about the right size, can double check if your interested.

Is the Carradice the black or green one?

would you sell the frame separately?
