so glad u kept the 3 arm crank. looks perfect on that frame

woohoo, congrats! lovely bike! always makes me happy to see that someone's given an old bike a new life :)

what about fsa ones? they come in black too

wheres yer face culturalelite?
sexy bike by the way, you been polishing your cranks! what cranks are those?

hmm not sure, but probably not. think he's a messenger? but he sure builds bikes and tinkers a lot. check out that link i posted..... well here it is again:

a tent? have u not sorted out where to stay in london yet?

3 way swap wow that sounds great.
yes it's 1 inch threaded... what was i thinking...

ok so stonster can have nat's lilac forks and i can have stonster's chrome forks... and for you nat, i've got quite a few bits and bobs lying around, it's better if you tell me what you have in mind and see if i've got some... if not would you accept cash or beer for the same value?

yeah stonster how long is the steerer? i need it to be at least 160mm.

oh. and rim tape too.

hmm honest, i prefer them over the horrors. at least towers of london's got some comedy value they make me laugh everytime i see them. the horrors are simply... i can't find a word to describe how crap they are.

photoben is a photographer... he's playing tricks on your eyes fellas

well to say. i've got miche hubs and i like them too.

oh yeah, we're asking arup to commit to performing a miracle here :P

i even gave up showing up for a drink, that's how shite it was (the weather).

stef, what do u cook for yourself i wonder.

you sort of get a whole spectrum of weather in a single day.
it's been like this for the whole week basically, if not the whole 3 months we've been through.
none of us know what to expect even, it was perfectly sunny this morning when i went to work and just now i was skidding around like mad in the wet i need to buy a new tyre tomorrow.

kym, i'd like to go over to NYC for a bit to be honest! especially when the weather's better and 1GBP = 2USD!

my flatmate's got one of these abandoned outside royal college of art. it's locked up, i'm thinking of going there to fetch it and rebuild it. let's just hope it's still there.
might make a really good polo bike if it's fixed?

that hub's only for single speed, it's not for fixed since it hasn't got a lockring thread. potentially very dangerous i don't think you want to get your girlfriend injured! it has also got 40holes which won't go with the open sport rim.

get this one instead:

either add a fiver and get them space it to 120 for you or just get spacers from your LBS and do it yourself.

if u're in brockley get in touch with andy from fixedgearlondon he'll be able to give you lots of advice and sure he'll be nice and lend u some tools

hael Theres also another old boy I see riding around angel brakeless!, he has an old orange paperboy bag ive exchanged nods with him next time ill try to stop and have a chat. would be interesting to hear his story.

ooh dont tell me he's riding down pentonville road from angel brakeless!

yeah i'll probably ride a bit and then shoot off to the foundry. not racing though. just bevy at the boozer

Stef good luck, u riding brakeless?

looks like CM will be boring think i'll shoot off and come over to the foundry. beer guts open for business as usual.

bet this is what the spoke cards are for?

but personally i'm not a fan of spoke cards so i might not put one in my wheel

there's a number of them here:

http://www.fixedwheel.co.uk/

anyone? with spoke card distribution?

look at that geometry

don't steamroller have wiggly stays and no lugs?

thanks kowalski and photoben
looks like witcomb's a good one, i'm a lug person so roberts is not really my choice, plus he's expensive.

only thing is i'm always really fond of bob's decal styling and the headbadge. and nothing beats mercian's spiral seat tube dressing.

tough choice...
