I've had a version of the clubman for 15 years. Every winter it goes through the wet and grime.
I re- sprayed mine about 2 years ago and rebuilt it as a light tourer. jkdlee I think your build is excellent. Well done for bringing a lovely frame back to life.

size? centre to top? top tube measurement?
Spacing across the dropouts at the rear? Tyre clearances?

Yes - keep the fork. I've never seen one like that. Very brutal!
Something that size has got to dampen lots of road vibration.

Seconded. JT, What BB & crankset combination are you using?
Since I put my roller together a year ago, I've hardly ridden my geared bike. It just feels dead in
comparison to the 'roller. In fact, as I get older and slower riding in a bunch on a clubride begins to lose its appeal. I'd rather just ride at my own steady pace on the 'roller and admire the flora and fauna. Maybe though, I'm just dwelling in an ambient fog!

What measurements please.

size?

size centre to top? top tube length?

Hi Jewsky,
I use a 67inch fixed for the road and a flip flop rear wheel with a 63 inch free sprocket for off road stuff. The Marathon tyres can be a bit draggy but I never puncture. I'm told paselas roll more easily. Maybe I'll try them when the present tyres die.

My Workaday 'roller. I agree Jewsky that the roller can be a bit on the heavy side. However, that is compensated for by it being such a comfortable ride. I've put 32mm Marathons on mine and a gel saddle - like sitting on an armchair. It really does take the sting out of crumbling pot hole strewn roads. The advantage is of course that I can also ride on gravel/towpaths. rides of 40/50 miles are well within compass. It's not as quick as a road bike rocket - it's not meant to be! Riding my roller is a hassle free pleasure.

what cranks & bb are you running on your 'roller. I need to upgrade 'cos my chainline is 3mm out and it's driving me nuts.

Perhaps a Clubman.
I've had one of these for 15years and it is very comfortable for winter/light touring.
Deserves a good home. GLWS

Hi Everyone,

Nice frame!
I've got a Tokyo fixed s2 which has been lurking in my shed for the past 6 months.
Size 61cms ST (ctt) and 57cms Top tube.
I've fitted a Stronglight headset (quill stem) and that's as far as I've got!

I use my 58cm crosscheck for touring/winter riding. I use a 46/34 double rings
with an 11-34 9 speed combo. 9 speed barends do the shifting. I'm 14stone so this
needs to get me and saddlebags up the climbs which it does. I love my crosscheck!

Much bargain - well nice!

Mrs Linc is the most fortunate of women.

I commuted on a pompino for 2 years. I would occasionally ride it at weekends for a 25/30 mile outing. Whilst sturdy, the pompino, especially with the stock forks and weinemann deep rims felt like a ship's anchor - it was a really heavy bike. I sold it on and last October put together a roller. The roller is lighter, feels quicker and is so comfortable. Rides of 40/50 miles are now no problem. Whatever your choice buy decent wheels, a decent bottom bracket and pedals

I just purchased one of these frames in a recent sale. I must learn to resist shiny new toys! I've no doubt that once built up I'll use it as a nice summer ride.
Does anyone know the brake drop on these 49mm? or bigger thanks.

I have a rather nice pair of shimano 105 dual pivot brakes. They are the old fashioned bolt on type. Can they be converted to modern allen key type fitting? it seems a shame not to use them as they've had very little use. Thanks.

Smashing job otherself. Nice choice of colour. I'm looking forward to seeing the complete build.

Hi Velofunfr, What bottom bracket type/length are you running with the Gimondi
cranks. I'm planning a fixie build soon so forewarned is forearmed! Ta!
