The website says they paint. So looks like it's up and running now.

Nice bike.... shame about the name...
Felt ar5.... always gives me giggle.
Honestly it look like good bike
So glws

Is this going to be tigged or fillet brazed? I'm guess by geometry off the shelf lugs are not an option.

There's a newish shop in chiswick that planned to start painting and already had a framebuilder in house.
Pi squared bikes confusingly the front sign says Bike. (Dot).
Me no understand.
Might be worth investigating.
Otherwise vaz isn't too far.
I've even seen some polish guys in southall doing bikes in an accident repair place for cars in there spare time. Nice guys and I saw them restoring a vintage mini great finish in proper booth not a shed.

Anyone recommend the best place in west London for odd jobs and servicing? Sigma are nice but pricey exotica orientated.
As far west as possible. Obviously.

🤣

Bike.

That's quite a reasonable amount to collect may I ask which charity it is

Anyone got a list of the usual stopping points. My first time and if possible id like to have a plan. As much as I can. I think the weather is ok but that could still change.

Yes the daily mail would slaughter them if they did.... and the readers would believe that shit.

This makes my blood boil.... the meeting is being adjourned because it may compromise the public enquiry? The whole point of a public enquiry is to make things public and impartial.
The high court made it clear that media should be allowed to be there.... clearly saving there own skins .... For the time being.
So much cloak and dagger going on. I'm surprised people haven't rioted.
Have people forgot what a disaster it was all they seem to care about is there careers.

Keep us updated. Id like to see how it goes. And where u get it done.
I'm looking a lot of masking as it's is 953 and I want expose a lot of it.
Especially the rourke decal.

Why not rourke themselves? They do great finishes.
Otherwise there is also Mercian and argos that do excellent jobs.
I'm tempted to go down the powder coating route myself.
But will see when the time comes

I just found out that London's very own witcomb cycles trained ben serotta and three other American frame building pioneers Richard Sachs, Peter Weigle and Chris Chance.
Many people then trained under those and it eventually built created a whole frame building industry in america personified by nahbs show every year, with its blingtastic creations, and now many young British framebuilders now look to America training and inspiration. Now that most the old school builders have withered away.
It's funny how much influence a little shop in deptford has had.

There are loads of places that specialise in retro rebuilds. Depends where you are.

That welding looks incredibly clean almost no tarnishing what so ever.
Is this all because of the inert nature argon or the fact that the argon is cooling the weld quicker reducing oxidation.
It seems to be a shame to paint it
Can I ask about the tubing is 853 main triangle and columbus and deda rear stays? This option seems to me popular amongst framebuilders but may I ask why?

Samosas are great for on the go. Unlike pizza not the best at room temperature and needs tamarind sauce too. Addicted to that tamarind.....hmmm

How much for the beater cranks

Bingo. That's it.

I've got a frame that runs an external brake cable along the top of top tube.
That is the inner and outer and it has 3 metal cable holders to keep the wire in place.
My question is there some sort of off the shelf solution where by I can convert the first and third cable holder into a cable stop it shouldnt be to hard to make and would clean up the look somewhat as less outer cable would be visible.

Not sure if I'm going to do so I like the idea just turning up at Ipswich. But is there a price surge? As opposed to advance booking

This walk way used to go through building and towards the new jubilee gardens. It became a haven for anti social behaviour but the area is much better now so we should have that problem now.

I hope there is an opportunity to connect waterloo with the Southbank like the old elevated walk way there uses to be through the old shell centre, and eventually connect to the hungerford bridge west side.
Southbank is so much busier and tourist have no clue how to get there from the station.
And for commuter it give a nice direct and clear route to the north with no crossing or obstructions.
Non cycling points so feel free to ignore.
