25.4 is the clamp size, not the width on the rest of the bar. most bars are pretty standard and you can shim it if it's too big...

...inverse shim if it's a bit tight.

beautiful bike, too big for me, plus i have too many!

brakeless on a huge heavy mtb = bad idea.

it's drilled for a brake, why not put one on?

Thanks Cheesecake. Not quite right, but job done anyway.

I have a few tools, as I said, including a massive great stillson wrench. happy to deliver them to anyone and give the benefit of my (dubious) mechanical skills. an extra pair of hands at least.

Cheers

freestyle or synchronised?

ITM TT lever please

pm coming

alright cheesecake...

sounds great. it's a square taper... cheers!

OK, I know there's Cranks, but it's not always practical to take a frame, say, over there.

I will be very happy to lend / take any tools of mine round to anyone else. I've not got anything fancy, but things like crank pullers/Shimano BB tools are handy...

This was prompted by me needing a Campag BB tool...

So, to kick off, anyone got a Campag BB tool they can lend me - or come round and whip a Campag BB off my Scary Quinn?

leonard zinn recommends cooling rather than heating, as alloy (supposedly) contracts quicker than steel. he says hit the join with a CO2 canister to cool it rapidly and pull at same time.

also, leave it upside down with oil soaking through down the fork steerer for a couple of days, put in vice, try again...

lewis also recommends putting coke down the fork and letting it stew a while... dunno the science behind this - maybe it dissolves the crud?

max, i finally managed to get all the shite bits off the elswick! Had to anglegrind the driveside bb cup, and the stem unfortunately, it wasn't coming out, even after heating in on the gas stove for 10minutes! Had to use half a new headset too! But at least i'm rolling now!

oooh lewis you're so street!

i am stuck in london's famous london for the day...

i'd say your picture was of more immediate concern...

but seriously, pm vb. pick wisely, tho, you're only allowed one change a year.

a) m-xl... how do you say that?

b) only chose it cos i thought for some reason that max/maxl would be taken (they weren't) and that m-xl is my ebay name... then saw that vb changed his name.

c) as an artist i feel that i'm constantly evolving

notice anything different about me?

peps - have a brake!!

would really like an 1/8" chainring, not fussy about teeth as long as number is in the 40s.

peps have one you can borrow if you need?

goodwood is beautiful - i've ridden round there a bit.

only cos i probably won't be able to make it...

polo, tricks, pub in country rides... we're gonna be busy! today's weather a taste of what's to come i hope!

both the acne bikes are nice colours, but as other people have said you can get a nice colour for a lot cheaper...
