cheers feller.

balls balls balls. i'm away again.

was going to ask this on another thread: are there any regular bike jumbles other than the herne hill ones? I need a whole pile of archaic bits and bobs and figure bootsales and jumbles are going to be my best bet.

wow

track ends AND track dropouts

sweet

no worries!

after a 32 hole 27" rim if anyone's got anything lying around.

supersim65 - if adscan doesn't want this i''d be interested in the rim (or whole thing to be honest).

EDIT - forgot to ask, how many holes?

to be fair it's not that funny.

except the bit about "her entrance"

but then i always make me laugh

Herr Exit!

herr entrance surely?

arf

tis 54 and i will probaby split yeah. will give you yell when i'm up on the new build to see if you're still in the market. be a few weeks probs.

sorry - hijack over.

cool. sorry for being lazy.

See those grey lines through Hyde Park? There's one that goes North South so you can avoid the roads.

Personally I think I prefer the roads to the tourists, bladers, walkers, dogs, etc.

absolutely. draft a bus up the road and you'll get there in half the time you'd take going though the park.

followed a dude though angel and down rosebury this morning. he was on a light blue on-one, with full length mudguards, honey brooks saddle and carradice saddle bag. rider was beardy, tweedy of trouser and be-capped. looking dapper in other words. i salute your style sir.

i was the hog-flu ridden plodder on a white frame in a condor hat following you.

i may be selling one in the next few weeks. just need to gather a few more bits for the replacement build. i'll let you know when i'm ready to go. mine's definitely "run around" quality. scruffy as fuck.

what is this thread about? i genuinely have no idea what you guys are talking about.

hmmm. i just bought a (really nice) witcomb off scrapper but i'd be saving on a paint job and headset if i went for this instead.

is it build for 27"s or 700c?
and do you know what the rear spacing is?

EDIT: y'know what i'm going to stick with the witcomb. much as i like this frame i think the blank canvas of the witcomb will suit my olde englishe style build better.

good luck with the sale. it is a lovely looking frame.

cheers skully. lovely to meet you and cheers for the bits. i'll let you know how i get on with respacing that hub.

still after some olde cranks if anyone knows of a good source.

well that sucks. i'm trying to build the worlds least trendy bicycle. i'm now considering getting the matching knuckle tattoo.

"2-BR AKES".

and who knew a measurement could become inadvertantly fashionable? so is 165 the new 170?

oh god it's all so confusing

oh i get it HAHAHAHAHAHA!

wait

i don't get it

i see.

i feel like i'm on a quest.

yes...

a quest

hehe. thanks man. i'm not giving up just yet. just trawled GA2G's list of cranks and have first and second reserve newies lined up. maybe i'm being slow but i'm finding it really hard to find old stuff...

man i've just spend another hour trying to find affordable and suitably retro looking 165mm cranks to no avail. this is getting on my nerves

i'm going to get chubby with it on the new build. had some balloon-tastic schwalbe kojaks on my old bike and they great fun. super comfy, pretty quick and not too fragile considering they're not fully puncture proof. they're well sketchy in the wet though... which is fun if you keep your wits about you.

ahhh i had a raleigh winner when i was 11. rode it up a kerb and buckled the front wheel the first day i had it. my mum went mental at me. loved that bike.

sorry.

carry on.

pm'd ahleks but obviously will defer to maxcrowe if he's interested.
