I see, I see, these are the same bawdy interjections Mayor Boris makes to distract from the real issue. You support as well I suppose his policies of keeping knowledge for the privileged few?

wel there's my illusion of an aerosuited shaman with a welding mask and a pair of callipers blown off in a poof of smoke

sorry man obviously we shoud take about that privately later but come oncomecome on bruh I know you know the answers to my other confusions.

What low-labour (possibly spray based) technique should I employ to slightly de-rust and preventively un-re-rust that^^^^^^ slightly rusty bob frame?

@f1s & @duckland both popped to my work to drop well described reasonably priced stuff off this week, BIG UP!

thanks G you mighta just saved my future wife's life, I've you ever want someone done or something you let me know homie

they are so bastardly expensive I am going to look at some interim options. I've got cheapo track pedals with straps but haven't ridden it yet anyway.

What is the correct look pedals (High end 1988-90)? for it? Da pedals eventually, DA post same story, silly money for a nice one and the Nitto one I have is nice enough. Might be close.

So I bought a mini bob frame from @f1s to build up

Put most of the new headset in, offered up the bars, thanks @duckland, with some grips.

Now she's going to want two brakes but where am I going to put them? Are there any nice silver cross brake type things that would look nice? I'm sort of hoping that some combination of lever and position on the bend is going to put it magically in the right position.

Can I just cut the flanges off the grips with a razor yeah?

Bike is drilled for rear brake, what's the most reasonable way of getting it there with no braze ons? Two band on clips top of top tube?

Thanks fams

was that on ebay? Glad it went to a good home and for a good price. Whenever nice gts come up I'm always interested, I want a mountain bike to turn into a shopper though. I could have bought that out of enthusiasm and then had nothing to do with it too!

Likewise, thanks for dropping the bars off!

whoops undibs sorry

dibs rd2s please

Nice to meet you mate, thanks for the frame!

Dibs nitro risers please

Dibs Bob please pm'd

also eventually going to need a da fluted seat post, I forgot how big this bike was I'm not so worried about having a nice aero bit and then 3" of pipe before it reaches the seat tube any more

mo pictures

amazing thanks bro then that is probably what I am going to go and get

So far black is winning, but probably not the concor because it hurts my special area. Think I'm gonna go on recommendation and get the 1990 flite, thanks @anidel

black saddle

new paage broke the a/b comparison...

red saddle

yeah bring out all the rossins. I got a "cool bike bro" and a nod from a guy on a blue rossin when they were both dodgy singlespeed conversions, mine possibly with bullhorns. how often does that happen between the dodgy peugeot conversion crowd? hopefully never.

Anyway the pedals are baffling me. Velobase has these which look pretty reasonable:

But then ebay has these:

why does it look like it takes a cleat and also has toe straps? do you reckon you can unscrew those three screws and use them with flat shoes?

Put the drivetrain together on the bike today and then cut the the gear housing too short so I've to go and get some more tomorrow but it's then ready for a test ride!

They've defaced the bank! Omg

oh it always looks rubbish when I try and do that... I just want to seal it so it won't peel or crack at the edges where it's come off

thanks dude, I was thinking I'd probably find a black one if it ended up agreeing with my tail.

Once I've got some cogs and sorted the drive train, I'll have a little potter about to get the bars and levers in the right place, tape them up and then be able to decide whether I want a red saddle or not.

sorry about saddle angle haven't actually sat on it yet obvs
