illegal lack of two brakes...

[/boring]

These guys might be able to do a 116BCD ring. Isn't specified in their list but they seem to be able to make up to most sizes. Could be worth contacting them. AUS$50 for a ring so maybe £40 what with postage? Given that the cranks themselves aren't that expensive could work out!

Edit -

Got home and realized the camera battery is flat. Since I borrowed it from work the charger is also at work....

In the meantime this is the only photo I can actually find of the exact same chainring. A bit burred, but blame SJS Cycles.

It's literally only had 60 miles use, so say £20?

Cool - I'll take a photo this evening.

It is attached to a set of Strada cranks if anyone needs some of those! Should really start selling some bits instead of buying all the time....

I've got a 46t 144bcd TA ring - 1/8". Only a few weeks commuting use. Can post a pic this evening if anyone is interested?

This whole "front brake only on a single speed" thing is just natural selection of the cycling community.

It's very simple, you need two brakes on your bike. A fixed drivetrain counts as a rear brake, face planting does not.

SS and a front only is probably fine for just pootling to the shops and back, but even then if some kid walks out from between some parked cars (or god forbid a van driver does something unpredictable) and you need to stop quickly you will probably be left with a simple choice of what to hit - the child, the van or just some fresh tarmac. Either way it will hurt you and probably others, physically and maybe financially.

If you can live with that then cool. Just don't crash into the back of me when I do manage to stop in time.

^^ think I saw that locked up in East London a few weeks back. Looks awesome, I really wanted a go!

Edit: the funny short wheelbase bike bavski posted.

I've also seen a shaft drive bike locked up near Old Street before. They are not dead.

^ yeah. Payday today as well...

the black is lovely, anyone know what price blb will do these at?

i need a better vented shoe for the summer, can't handle sidi in high summer.

They had them on their stand at the Bike Show in Earl's Court a few months back, and I've seen em in the shop. I think they were £70. Fairly decent price really.

Nice listing!

Fuckaduck. BLB selling these babies for 275 BIN:

^^ I've got some LA84 bullhorn bars just like those.

Don't want to hijack this thread but if anyone else wants some once the ones here are gone I can help...

£20 with collection/delivery almost anywhere in London.

^ I think mine are 26.4. I think.

Yeah I saw them. My first thought was 'fugly', then I saw the thread about him any way. Don't want to get involved in that tho...
Just weighing up a bid for those drilled pista ones ^^^ trouble is I'd need to get them repainted or chromed...$$$. Hmmm options...

I doubt it. The head tube itself is 200, so I'd need more than 8mm for the headset!

jonlubi, how big is your frame? 60cm??

1. It's a beast.
   

A world without bees? That's just ridiculous.

Campag crankset please! Will PM right now.

I'd like to see a photo of the campag ergo levers - very interested in them too.

Cheers

2nd dibs on pedals/clips/straps? Pending a suitable price, of course ;)

Go careful there, I upset a couple of people a few days back making the same comment about quill stems! I thought I had said something like Hitler was a great bloke from the reaction it got :-)

Say what you will about the tenets of national socialism, but at least its an ethos...

Gorgeous frames. Really nice fillet brazing and really good finishing, both the actual paint and the colours. Bike porn aplenty.

My one issue is that all the frames they are selling will come with threadless headsets/Ahead stems. I know this is because the range of ahead stems and compatable forks is so much better than threaded/quill, but I still think steel forks can only look good with a smooth silver quill stem in them. My 2p, nothing more...

Interested as well...pics would be lovely

I've got some CInelli LA84 bars for sale. 26.4 clamp size tho...

They look like this.

£21 and they're yours

^ PM'd. Cheers.

Just got an email back from the Hungarian. In case anyone else is interested he has quoted the one second from left at €74 - Coppi engraved - and the one second from right at €52, excl. shipping. Both in 'very good condition'.
