Yarr! Fuck Cadel!

The frame deserves campag.

It would be all about 12-23 Record, but I can't afford it, so it's all about 12-23 Veloce with a Centaur groupset.

Heh, look what I got:

For less than a set of Tiagra shifters! :P

Love the colour. Looks nimble too.

Or they might have paid with an e-Cheque. It's paypal's bollocks way of paying if you don't have the funds yet, or your credit/debit card details have expired. It's rubbish because if you're a buyer, paypal doesn't warn you that you're paying with this stupid method, and so you wonder why the seller is taking so fucking long to send your goods. This happened with me - Only realised my debit card details had recently expired and forgot to update them. Would be nice if a site as big as that could give you a warning or something...

The negative Shim thread was also pretty funny!

I have to say. Your frame is sex.

picture would be nice...

I commute on a Raleigh Team Banana replica. I run 53-42 at the front and 12-21 (8 speed) at the back (It's not very hilly and I love stay in a nice cadence) - 12.13.14.15.16.17.19.21. Complete with 105 friction shifters.

My nicer geared bike, which I never seem to ride anymore is a Specialized Allez Double '08 Shimano Tiagra 53/39 (upgraded from a poofy Sora compact) and 9 speed cassette. Might upgrade the whole thing to Veloce or Centaur though...

I actually feel faster on the raleigh. Maybe it's because it takes so much more effort to shift that thing about or something...I dunno, maybe I am - It has a much more aggressive riding position.

lol:

Either change the gear ratio or HTFU

Did you file/drill them in the end? All work out ok?

Sorry I forgot to say.

Basically my LBS took a small drill to it (I think) as they were also fitting the headset cups and cutting the steerer anyway.

I suppose a bit of time filing could have done it, but I'm a lazy cunt.

Your dick! lolol

Sorry mate, I totally forgot (saw the email and got sidetracked) I think Bawbag is more deserving of the bike seeing as he doesn't have one at the mo :(

I have a fixed conversion of that very bike. I like it. £50. Can't go wrong.
Looks like the gears have though...23 speed - WTF?

I bought a set of these a while back (well I got the £15 ones...). But I had issues:

Not bad for what I paid though. Look good.

There was a guy on here offering a Team Banana Replica a couple of days ago. I believe it's still available as he PM'd me (sorry I haven't replied to you yet)

Nah, they only do vintage team replicas, etc.

Speaking of which, I bought a Large Santini jersey from there the other day. Couldn't even get it past my shoulders...XXL it is then...

Can anyone find anyone selling Solo "classique" jerseys for less than £60...preferably nearer £50...?
