Just one of the beauties of Steel - Easy to fix.

Well, I just received them and they're totally clean and look pretty damn good for £15 TBH. Loads of thread so, will pretty much fit any size headtube out of the box I think.

My ONLY issue with them is that I've found the drilled hole for my brake calliper a bit smaller than the one on my old (now bent to shit for a car) raleigh forks, therefore I cannot fit the nut for it into there.

I'm not sorry for the pic quality, I can't be arsed with digital cameras or wanky flashy camera phones.

My options are either:
1 - Go at it with a round file (which I have in my possession)
2 - Get my LBS to drill the hole slightly larger in diameter (while they chop a bit of the top off anyway)

Either way, I'm going to have to ride a 14 speed without a front brake tomorrow. Luckily there are no descents on my commute.

I had to chase the order a couple of times, but I was fine waiting TBH, I know they're not CRS or Wiggle, just wanna give the little guys some custom. In fact it's strange how the bigger places don't always sell what you want (even though CRS seems to have everything), yet the little businesses can sort the odd bit out for you no problem.

...I think he was slightly wrong in the head...

I think he's proven you wrong...

I'm looking at some '06 Record and Chorus chainsets, and I can't really see much difference between the two...apart from the price. They even look almost identical FFS.

Any info guys? Cheers

You can tell he devotes quite a bit time to the bikes he sells

I a set from here a couple of weeks ago, they've just dispatched it as it's now in stock. So I'd grab one while you can - only £15, free P+P too.

Currently at Royal Mail holding office at the mo, I'll take a photo when I get them tomorrow morning as the one on the site is pretty small.

Whoever stole it in't going to post it on Gumtree now, making it harder to track back down.

Those record pista? I'm after a pair...would prefer shorter arms. Only £50 though...hmmm

meh - gone now :(

I thought it was a promo vid for Specialized of something? I'm sure I saw it on their site a few months back...

Link didn't work for me. Try this one:

You'll need Java installed...

Fuck Bianchi Pistas

I don't know if these have been posted. Probably have...

I honestly think that's the most beautiful bike I ever seen.

TBH, I wouldn't mid polishing the chrome on his braze-on

Cheers for the compliments guys, I knew I was a good'un
Oh God, I would never cut off those braze-ons, it's like painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa

What would you recommend I use/do to remove some of that surface rust by the BB?

Bit pissed off as I could have had it today but it was sent through some crappy courier, the depot of which is miles away.

@Jimalex - Bad luck on the frame, TBH I didn't think I was going to win it. I thought the bidding would end nearer the £150+ mark... - You got a BB to go with those cranks? (if they're still available)

I'll let you know once I have it :P

Did I kill a bus load of puppies by buying that frame or something?

if so, nice.

Snoops, I just bought one from here:
http://www.velokit.co.uk/cart_productdetails.asp?PRODUCTID=3411

The cheapest place I could find new (i.e. uncut) and in-stock

I won this yesterday:

I think it looks great.

My friend used to live in Southampton and actually met the framebuilder. He said "IMO Rotrax were like the equivalent of Colnago (or any other beautiful high-end Italian frame)"

Would using this frame for a fixed project do it justice, or should I go for an all-vintage campag-out restoration?

Cheers guys
