Pictures, size and price to begin with...

I'll have it if this lot fall through. Have cash and can meet you at short notice. Fingers crossed...

No worries mate....

I have two domed ones and one gripfast one. Will pm details of where to find me.

Let me check I have the right ones tomorrow. I'll get back to you Monday evening after work.

I may have some of these in my bits box but they are probably in a similar state to the ones in the picture.

I want that pink T-Rex. Something very endearing about his little Beadle hands...

Thanks everyone. Some great places there, although nothing compares to thumbing through real records. Perhaps fiddling around with bicycles is an antidote to some of today's more soulless technology.

"this fella" clip made me get a lump in my throat.

I am a dinosaur and as such only have music on vinyl. All my favourite shops (yes, the ones you walk into and have real live people inside) have closed down or only sell the latest dance fad going. Does anyone know a good online record store specialising in vinyl?
ps. My taste is extremely eclectic so the more stock they have the better really.

The alien lovechild of a boxing glove and a corset. YUCK

"Freedom of speech? They can suck my dick while I take a shit all day!"

 Ice T/Freedom of speech 1989?

@bigtwin: Never hast a truer word been uttered. "Gotta catch em' all."

I think the threads are imperial pitch but seem in vaguely decent nick apart from one eye that is clearly mangled. @danb: phwoar! shiny.

Nothing like a long stint in the loo with some tool porn. The Japanese handtool section in the axminster catalogue does it for me every time... I need to tap the mudguard eyes on an old steel viking. The bolts for the mudguards are m4. Would the best thing be to swap them for m5 bolts and widen the eyes by drilling them out and taping them afresh?

Nice one bigtwin. Off to hardware shop or more likely the screwfix catalogue...

Thanks everyone for the advice. I think I'll get M4,5, and 6 separately. Am I right in thinking that you need a taper to start the thread and a separate finishing tap to clean it up. Also, what is a plug? Oh yeah, can you tap an imperial thread with a slightly larger metric taper to convert it or is it a case of drilling out the thread completely and starting a new one in metric? I hope this is comprehensible...

One quality tap vs big box of shiny bits. I'm conflicted.

I need to get a tap and die set to chase some fucked threads but also intend on using it on other projects. Any suggestions for a decent set that isn't silly money but will actually work more than once. Budget up to about £40. I once had a (came out of a christmas cracker) set and to be honest it would have been more useful not to have had it as the taps broke off mid-chase and made more problems... Any advice would be great.
Cheers

Is the tri spoke a front or a rear wheel. Is it 100mm spacing? If its a front wheel, what's the thread for?

My arse became so immune to my mum's smacking that she started hair pulling instead. That worked better until I got my pal's big brother to shave my head to a no.1. Success, although once getting grounded started, I started to get all misty eyed about getting smacked.

That rasta bloke has got serious skills. I'd watch him doing his thing over flatland bmx any day of the week. Nice one Sam Doman!

Its a way to aid clean indexed shifting. Modern campag chainsets have similar short teeth and chamfered teeth.

thanks jagermeister...I think i might sell some wheels and get some hickory rims made up!
