Overheating 753 through traditional brazing causes it to become brittle.

You can get a 753 sticker on ebay for a few quid also.

I have a lo-pro in the dimensions to the Aende and I normally ride a 54cm squared frame if that helps.

Old picture of the forks. This is not the current seller's photo .

I used to own this frame a couple of years ago. Sold it for something like £270 with a Dura-ace headset.

It's a nice frame with a lovely fork crown.

hmmm... 653 fillet brazing!!

This frame is a gem. I wish he was just selling 'just' the frame as I'd be tempted but don't need all those parts.

Lee Cooper might be your best bet. I think RHB has been to see him in the past so might have his details.

Otherwise I know a good machinist in Coventry who could probably cut the thread for you but they are not bicycle people and do ad hoc machining work for local engineering companies. It's on Lifford Way (Binley Industrial) estate in the corner on the left of Chips Away.

Love that frame. If it's not going to be used by the new owner then it's my size.... just saying.

One good thing about renting is that you don't have to fix shit when it breaks. I'm up to 2.5k on repairs this year alone and still have so much to do...

Any builders (brickwork, pointing, rendering) want a job then let me know.....

Has the Makino been built up yet? I'm assuming by the wallplugs that the pic above is from a previous owner?

Clamp the cup in a vice and use the frame as a lever to remove it.

Did those bars/stem work out?

Good luck selling your house. It took me 6 months last year to sell mine. It's a relief when it's finally over.

On-One Tin bread full bike, looks pretty interesting,

That it does. Pick up from Dorset though might as well be the moon.

These are the kind of lugs you want lined! Amazing.

Don't think those are lugs. The headtube is probably cast with that pattern it it.

That Raleigh is really very small. Did anyone get the frame number?

Those are very likely Zeus Pista dropouts. Very nice. A few UK framebuilders have used them.

Shield logo I believe for super record and they come in gum flavour.

I have a set of Gran Sport pedals which are very smooth and not too worn but not as nice as the SR versions. PM if you are interested.

My recently restored early Aende. Mostly used for pottering around country lanes at the weekends.

Andy has left already. I think that leaves no one actually living in Coventry.

Barry practicing his falling technique?

Does anyone still live in Coventry? The ghost town analogy seems especially apt at the moment.

Seat post appears to be a C-Record non-aero.

Remove the axle first and then prise them off through the big hole.

I've ridden one of those oriental three wheeler which was imported from Taiwan (ex 1950s pedicab). It was fixed gear which allows you to reverse and the brakes are near useless when it's fully loaded. You can't get more than 5mph on them and never go near a hill unless you have a death wish. I ended up crashing it and hurting myself.

For years I tried to get into Leatherface because everyone rated them so highly. Unfortunately I don't get them at all.
