Ok I'll try here before starting a new thread and get flamed...

I have rust problem on my motorbike frame, not structural, but potentialy likely to become structural if I don't take action.

My problem is to find the right product. Stuff like the one above might be good, I just bought a similar product from halfords, that "transforms" the rust within 3 hours into something stronger (??), but I've been told by a friend in france that "rust never dies, it only sleeps!" and that it needs to be killed! I totally trust his judgment (very experienced and knowledgeable rider), but the translation fails me as I cannot find on the intaweb the stuff he recommends me to use...
Basically, it does not transform the rust into something else, it makes it disappear permanently
Litteraly translated it would be "PHOSPHATING ANTI RUST TREATMENT". It is pretty hard core chemical, but apparently it is extremely efficient, and has to be used with care as it is dangerous for the skin, etc... as you can imagine...

Here is the french product I found, I need the british equivalent, in a shop... I'm sure it's there around the corner but I don't know what to ask for...

http://www.anti-rouille.fr/

Because I don't know the correct translation of this in english, google is not of much help and I don't really want to order in France, ideally if I could find a shop in London, that would be great...

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks for that.

Here's the picture of the frame now the seatpost has been removed. You can see the cosmetic damage the removing has caused

Sweedee, the size is 55cm center to top (did not measure, it says so on the frame)

Hi all,

So I bought the Bianchi frame from Golgol couple of weeks ago, I had a project in mind for my girlfriend, but:
-I quickly put wheels on for her to try, the frame would be slightly to big, she is not such a confident rider, so I'd prefer not take the risk
-I wanted the crack repaired, took it to Vaz. He could remove the seized seat post for me, but he's builder cannot repair the crack. He reckons filing down and try to amend the crack would actually weaken the tube. On the other hand, he believes that where the tube is located, it should not be an issue structurally speaking, and that the frame could be used, keeping an eye on the crack (as suggested by Holdsworth cycle, like said in the OP). Now due to the seat post having been removed, he had to heat frame a bit and cosmeticaly it has suffered, the top of the bianchi decal on the down tube is damaged, the chrome finish has turned blue/orange in some places (like a motorbike stainless steel exhaust)

I suppose Polo players, people in need for a beater could use this... I paid a fiver to have the seat post removed, but £35 still for the frame / fork / headset / non-seized seatpost.

PM me if interested!

I can be wrong, but after a quick search it seems that people have not mentionned Voxan, french manufacturer (very few on the roads) since the 90s I think, they when into liquidation recently and have been bought by Venturi (just read that online)... don't know if they have a future or not.... I remember looking at their website when it was still fully on, I thought some designs were a bit odd sometimes but some were nice though...

Y U no stay in London!!!?!

?? not the pear tree tonight?

What?

L

Would anyone going to Wests tonight be coming South/South East afterward?
El Diablo is bringing a wheel for me tonight and I have an appointment that I have to attend 6-8, so if someone could grab the wheel and bring back I'd appreciate it.

I work really close and I was considering maybe going for one tonight, then for another one maybe @ BT too, then... not that's it: so I can carry your wheel back to SE if you want.

Shout at me one more fucking time and I'll sell you a bike, ok?

Sell me some wine instead and lets behave real men about this...

Was there really a raison to italicise, underline and bold that?

Yes I think so, I am trying to draw attention to the fact I am highlighting, I am trying to clarify something.

*SHOULD I'VE WROTE IT IN CAPITAL LETTERS TOO...*

Shit, I thought Loic was just this mild mannered French gentle giant who's into classic French and English period bikes, wears a cape and smokes a pipe. But obviously he has another life.

Ben, dont worry, I saw the gentle giant Loic at SE drinks last night and he was all well.

As for the Loic in concerned, hope he recovers well and any shit between whoever doesnt escalate further.

Me too. Lovely bloke.

Whatever happened, it is not acceptable to beat people up and I hope the offenders are shitting their pants over the consequences.

This is what I thought for a long time, had no idea Loic liked trix.

Dude, you should have called me. I love sewers.

HA! Do you think our Loic could have been beaten up by a bunch of hambushers? No chance.

I did seriously consider it for a moment. I was always suspicious about how he broke his downtube, could of sworn I saw him jumping a 7 set the other day.

*BTW, I realise that some of you above above are just kidding and know who I am, but some maybe are a bit confused. So, to clarify, I AM NOT THAT LOIC.*

AKA: a Frenchman you'd invite to your house.

... that makes me want another great latte...

Dude!Sorry if I caused ANY confusion.

I was making the link between names. NOTHING else. I know you're not the fixie skidder bomb crew Loic.

You're the "mend a mercian HOLDSWORTH with an inner tube scarf & leather belt, smash an all day breakfast/brunch after a ride in the surrey hills" Loic.

AKA : The Good one.

Thanks for clarifying, I was indeed a bit confused!
The PM I received suggested I probably had received many messages about this, when I actually received none... I freaked out a little as I knew not what was going on (I never usually read the trick forum, except now, as I am trying to understand what's what), and feared that people would think I was the same person with multiple forum names...

Let's go back to the french / english insults now!

veLLo

Insult his wife, help the 5th floor crew get revenge.

Someone just mentionned this to me in a PM, I don't spend much time on internet so I wasn't aware of the story.
Since I share the same name as someone who is not very popular at the moment, I just wanted to check that you did not think it was me, as "insulting the wife" seems to me like going one step up the friendly jokes that were going on here above if put in a different context... Just checking...

It's sticking to your inner steel.
It won't work on Mrs Brave or Loic though, for obvious reasons.

I changed my mind.

This is war again!

we graciously accept your surrender.

Brilliant! Will you put the kettle on, dear? I'll bring croissant.

Yo Sir Skully, why don't you just ask me! I have french threaded pedals on my MBK, you welcome to come so we can try.

This can be re-threaded + insert fitted so that you can use international / british threaded pedals for more choice. French threaded pedals in my experience are even harder than BB cups and headsets to source... I only have one decent pair and will rethread when they go wrong... Putney Cycles offered to do it for me for £15 or £20 when I asked but this was a while back. You need to trust who does the job in case you decide to do it, as if it is badly done (at an angle) you can expect some oscilation when you are pedaling. That's something (like when your steel cranks are bent) that you get used to but when you change bike it's like "WTF?"

If I don't hear from you I will assume that you are ignoring me and it will be war again between france and england!

Repost for new page ....
Does anyone know what pedal thread TAs with this stamped on them might take (assuming E4 or BSC mean something to do with cranks). When I saw BSC I assumed that meant British threads, but it seems not. Now I'm thinking they must be French... can anyone confirm? Has anyone got some french pedals I can try fitting?
