Coppi, pah! Platini is right. Anquetil is the man.
Check out "Jacques Anquetil - The Man, Mystery, Legend." with a Ligget comentary.

You could always use the message "if you haven't been told to expect this, this bike is stolen, please call the police, then call 'my #' "
Just remember to tell any shops you take it into

I've always laminated them, and stuck it in the seat tube and, if you've an old style BB you can usually get one in there (never tried it with a sealed unit)

Probably doesn't have a bell either

eeehhhh, I've just noticed that 3 (yes 3) minutes before you posted this, you directed someone else on a different thread, to Sheldon's site.
Physician, heal thyself (methinks)

It's down to love then. Somebody must have a spare bike for the day.
I'd offer but I'm down to n = 1 at the moment.

Ben, sell me the red one then

eeehhhh, what does it need to get it running for the weekend, time? parts? love?
I'm sure there's enough of all three on here to get it sorted.

depends on what you want. Fixed/SS? Brake or not? Road, track or both?
So many questions, but in the end all the answers are yours.

It's just a points race, with two riders

See you there, I'll be on a shiny yellow Jackson

TA cranks are ISO taper, chainline is fine on TA 111 or Campag 109mm.
I've just tried uploading pictures, and failed. I'm still getting used to the new forum.
I can bring them along when we do the sprocket swap and you can have a look.
Monday around 12, Holborn is good for me

Meet up next week?
I've got a TA 3-arm 1/8" 48T 165mm crankset that I might part with for about 40 if you were interested?

From Sheldon;

Biopace and Fixed Gear

People are often astonished to learn that I ride Biopace chainrings on fixed-gear bikes. They imagine that there will be tremendous changes in chain tension as the chainring rotates. In practice, this is not the case. A 42 tooth chainring will generally engage 21 teeth against 21 chain rollers, regardless of its shape.

There is a slight variation in tension resulting from the varying angle between the two straight runs of chain as the axis of the chainring rotates, but this has not generally been of a sufficient magnitude to cause any problem in practice for me.

Can I have your job?

I'll trade your 16 for my 18 (miche)?

Object (or anyone else), I've got a (cheap) truing stand that is available on long/short term loan/communal use.
Smallbrownbike could perhaps "install" it in his backyard?

Can't see a picture. If they're plastic, then (if they really are stuck) heat an old knife and melt a slot through the centre and then use knife, with mole grips, as a big screwdriver.
I seem to remember Sheldon saying something about using a Bp ring with fixed, not sure I'd try it.

Sheldon says: DA single should be 109

http://sheldonbrown.com/bbsize.html

Depends on your cranks
Campag single is 109, Mavic (or is it Miche) are 107.
My TA single needs 111.5 to get the chainline right

I still have a crank puller that will do the job.
@ajf, if you're in Leeds, try Spa Cycles in Harrogate (they've got a whole load of TA/Stronglight stuff)

Hurrah! !!

Alex, what's the story with BLB about those cranks, did they give you some new ones?
Still want that adapter off you though :)

You turn down his stem and then try to get him to deliver another.
Dale, will I see you later?
