I concur, just fitted them to my Graham Weigh frame, lack of a lock nut groove on the thread and the mud guard eyes.. only issues so far. Nicer than the other cheap options i've seen.

Yep, they're JIS 27mm

254mm long but you can always chop em down.

for about £13.. http://www.freemanscycles.co.uk/product2.asp?product_id=1235&pname=Steel%20Forks

No groove for locking washer in the thread, but no braze ons and pretty clean looking.. good buy IMO.

Even with some digital calipers whats the best way to get a measurement from the seattube? I'm getting between 26.70 - 26.00 depending on angle.

Update on the Graham Weigh:

I've now fitted the forks to the frame, had issues with JIS vs ISO... but managed to get the headset installed, and cut down the steerer..

I've now got to source some wheels, now having just spent £170 on a nice set i'd rather get something budget for this.. any advice on where to pick up new or second hand fixed fixed wheels? They seem to be much sort after at present and prices are high. Ebay have sets for around £100 quite regularly : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BANKRUPT-TRACK-FIXTIE-WHEELS-PISTE-FIXED-COURIER-700c_W0QQitemZ180288090409QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item180288090409&_trkparms=72%3A1345|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

But not convinced of quality, or should I just stick around here and pounce on something?

Then i'm on to seatpost/saddle.. but nearly there.

26.4->27 aint no smidgen round here.. He almost plied the file out of my hands.

Damn you! no, no seatpost issues with this fame ;-P

the Carlton is running beautifully, and just the right height.. i've put seatposts out of mind.

Actually, a friend is sticking it on a lathe, we'll see how he does.

Cheers

Easy peasy, I'll get on it.

I've got a frame which I think is ISO, forks which I think are JIS and headset which is ISO. Can I fit the forks with the headset? it's too tight between lower head cone housing and the forks lip. Anyone had any experience of getting round this?

Cheers

http://www.freemanscycles.co.uk/prod...=Steel%20Forks these any good? I'm getting some myself.

Get yourself a ebay snipe account.. allows you to automatically place a bid last second.. and organize it several hours ahead!

Some of the pentax SMC M series are of the highest quality, certainly improve on most L zooms. Girl next to me at gig tonight had the 35mm L, would be lovely for low light work.

Can you change your site to load up an image when you hit the main page and the different menu items (as there is only photogpaphy on the first so why click?) as it's quite slow to load (might be my connection) then you get a message about no images in public domain.. slightly confusing..

Ha, found your site, I was right on both counts. very much like your product shoots.. elements of humor and moment which seem to elude most product photographers. Good luck with the 5DII.

What do you shoot? Manual focus, I'm guessing product or landscape..

It's not using the same autofocus system, same as 5D from what people are saying, but it remains to be seen...

Good luck with it, I'll be excited to see the results. Get hold of a nice external mic.. it'll improve things no end. Have you seen Vincents samples? (http://www.usa.canon.com/dlc/controller?act=GetArticleAct&articleID=2086) What am I talking about, who hasn't?! How much did you manage to preorder for?

Hmm, I also recommend the Ef adaptor for K-mount.. but you'll need to file back of some lenses if your using a 5D. I've got some nice EF primes, but I need em. It's dark up north.. www.photosinthedark.com shameless plug. I am also looking into a 5D on the cheap, wait a little for the 5DII to come out in Uk tho right?!

Excellent, I'll get one of those..

Are the bearing cups for bottom of headtube push fit? Old campag in there at present, can I just knock it out?

Edy, if you decide bidding's gone to high let me know... I'd probably go for it. Otherwise help yourself.
