Don't bother. It can cause some additional unwanted hasle :-)
It would be more than good if you just roughly measure with the cranks on from mid point of one crank arm to the mid point of the other crank arm. This will defo give a good estimate :-) Cheers

gosh, that's huge :-) the biggest i've ever encountered was 122.5mm. cheers

Sorry for hijacking the thread :-)
The bike really looks ace.
Can i just ask what bottom bracket lenght are you using with that chainset?
Cheers

If you still haven't managed to find one let me know and i'll put one in the post for you :-)

you got a pm :-)

Let us all know who the builder was so we all keep away just in case. hope you'll fix it quickly :-)

Any LBS should have it. They will most likely give it to you for free.
At the last instance try your local Halfrauds Bikehut :-)

Hi all,
I got another LAngster NOS frame for sale. It's the black one 2006 model 58cm size. It's got a small dent -chip in the upper headset cup (nothing on the frame itself though).

Price is £100. Collection from Reading or Richmond West London. Postage can be arranged with PF or DHL for around a tenner
If interested please feel free PM me
Cheers

what if the spoke length required is 292.4mm.

do i go 292mm or 294mm?

292, better shorter than longer

That was the question I was wondering myself :-) So if calculator says 292.6 I should go for 292 rather than 294.

Spot on guys :-)

seriously, is it more or less safe to push the crown races into the frame with a rubber mallet? i was looking at a tool http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Cyclus_Headset_Press/5300003485/ . It's good price specailly with the voucher code for fiver off but it's something that doesn't get used very often :-)

with such an awesome frame full of character it's quite a pain to separate :-)

I am sure he would be happy to pay you £50 to take it away :-)

I know someone trying to get rid of a unipack frame 60cm with very large clearances :-)

Awesome! Cheers:-)

I am more than happy to land you one. I am at reading. If you're not local I can post it to you and then you can just post it back after you finish :-)

Specialized singlespeeds are all (i mean langsters and singlecross) with flip flop wheels so you have both ss and fg :-) Bare in mind that there are many other ss/fg bikes to consider like charge, bianchi, giant bowery series, genesis flyer, fuji track and many others. If you want something with more character then a good custom built bike is all the way to go:-)

Thanks so much for everyones comments.

I managed to get a full refund!!!!!!!!

When I told them about all the problems I've had after only 2 days, they looked confused and said I quote "Thats odd, we've never seen that happen before!"

They offered me a free segumo crank/pedal upgrade, replacement BB and new rear wheel.
I declined their offer and requested a refund in full. They agreed and didnt kick up a fuss like some people have said.

After the refund went back onto my card, I told them it was well snide of them to change the name from unipack to create after the bad kudos..all he could do was smirk like a teenager watching a porno for the first time...

So, for those who are unfortunate enough to be stung by buying this bike, the distributors are not called jazzco, but fellia...there address is

FELLIA LTD
Unit 12, Ponders End Industrial Estate
East Duck Lees Lane
Enfield
Middlesex
EN3 7SP
Tel: 020 8344 9997

FYI... I called Brick lane Bikes about these [ s ]Create[ /s ]Imitate bikes and they said they were offered them at £45 a piece when buying in bulks of 10. So there you go....

Im off to do what i should have done in the first place....buy a specialized single speed.....the fixie will come when i finish uni :)

I have an ACS Fat 16t, 3/16, standard thread. brand new. posted £7 or collected from reading £5.
Cheers

As Whatfriends mentioned bike mechanics is very rewarding and a really cool hobby :-)

A work coleague of mine has bought a tricross while ago and immediatelly swaped the wheels for velocity ones from his old bike. I'll ask weather he still got the tricross stock ones laying in his garage and let you know.

If you bought it in a bike shop and have a receipt you should be able to return it easiliy. If they refuse to cooperate your local coulcil's trading standards office is the next place to go. and don't forget to pray :-)

the easiest way afaik is to go to www.tinypic.com, upload the picture and copy-paste the image code into your post :-)

Is the sadle 6 quid posted or 6quid plus p&p?
cheers

Thanks a lot guys.
Sorted :-)
