how do wooden rims ride compared with their modern alloy counterparts? Can you tension the spokes to the same degree? I've got to try some... They look great anyway.

That is absolutely lovely. Can you still get wooden rims? (new ones)

I'm having an argument with the missus tonight.

Argument with the missus:

That frame has been crashed head on at some point in its life. take the paint off the affected area and look for cracks. If you don't find any ( I don't think you will on such a tonka looking frame), then it should be roadworthy. Hope this helps.

too similar to the crank brothers logo....

Cheers velocio! lovely T's arrived this afternoon. If "gear inches" comes back in stock, I'll have one.
Thanks again....

Is it just me or do the dropouts on the rossin look like a botched welded conversion from horizontal road dropouts? Looks fishy as hell to me. Angle of the slots looks wrong too...

Like riding an engraved pewter beer tankard. Yuck

Nice one scrapper! I got a pair of sidi dominators, the mother of all chain breaks, a conti 4000 tyre, pots of cable tidies and ferrules and a stronglight threaded headset for £125! Top marks all round and a nice pootle along the canal in the sunshine. All in all a champion morning!

Dibs on the wheel! pm coming....

"Step into the arena" and "daily operation" have got to be the 2 best albums. One of the most individual sounding mc's in the history of hip hop. A bit depressing that he felt he had to have a dig at his former collaborator from beyond the grave. Anyone know what caused such a rift?

I just bought a some threaded 1" carbon forks off marcola last week. Kenesis for a 650 wheel. They're out there if you look.

Looks like Cameo's codpiece in the "word up" video. Scary...

Go to an osteopath and get your neck and shoulders reset (cracked back into position). It worked for me although my neck and shoulder issues were from a crash. My osteopath also does acupuncture and if you plead poverty charges a mininum fee of 30 quid per session. He's in the archway area.

I had a football deliberately kicked at me by some little fucks in the estate opposite pentonville prison recently. It clipped my head so I stopped, turned and headed for the culprit swearing. I was expecting him to leg it as he can't have been more than 15 or 16 but he approached me bold as brass and was giving it "What the fuck are you gonna do about it?" I punched him in the mouth and he looked surprised. His mates were pissing themselves laughing. Then I rode off. And no, I don't have any bad conscience over the matter before the moral guideline police tell me off. If you're going to try and knock people off their bikes for fun, at least have the decency to run away laughing and not start a fight.

If you are on a bike and the most vulnerable vehicle on the road then everything is potentially the enemy whether it be nodders,cars,HGV's,taxis,white van men,peds or whatever. Likewise cyclists can be highly irritating if you are driving.

Could have been constructed better but done anyway.

condor sell new record 1" headsets for £35. What's so special about yours?

I think that is the nicest keirin I've seen and not in a pigmy size. Awesome headbadge and decals.

Beautiful frame. Looks bigger than 58 c-c from the photo. 950 seems steep though. You're not radmatrose from e-bay are you? He always has beautiful nos frames that go for silly money.

110 is such a bargain. I'm always too slow.

Hipster from birth evidently.

Brilliant video. I think everyone on this forum has had that "Why can't I let go of the front brake?" moment at some point in their life. Good to see people having a laugh and not taking themselves too seriously. Minh for the winh........

I must be getting old or something. I'm going to start selling some of my old Italian components.
