I've removed the mudguards on the Varonha (it's summer right?) and having checked with a Schwable Land Cruiser tire, it would appear the frame can take 40c without problems (I'd never investigated before).

Any recommendation for tan walls 700x40c that don't break the bank? (I did use Google of course but I value LFGSS's input more, of course!

Thanks for checking!
Since another kind forumer had Pmed me and has sorted me out!

Who cares about Mies's "less is more", or even Venturi's "less is bore"... Just go Morris Lapidus "Too much is never enough!"

Yay!

I'm sure it'll be all kind of sparkly rainbow flying saucer lovely, and not gold supercar, judging by your previous projects, reference images, etc.

Now less talk and more Photoshop, until you can post the first picture of the tube set!

Oh, good call, thanks. Just Googled this, doesn't seem in stock atm... Also given the price I'd tempted to buy a new BB. Good product still as you'd keep it when upgrading the BB I suppose.

Thanks if you can be bothered looking, though I hope you already gave it to your local charity, they would have needed it more than me!

As I'm ordering couple is bits from SJS I've emailed them and asked if they could sort me out with this... We'll see.

SJS are often my LBS actually, they're a proper bike parts stockist!

Thanks, yes I know where they are, only been once for inner tubes. You're right they aren't far.

Haven't had a lbs in years. The ones where we've moved aren't great, or aren't the kind where I'd develop some kind of loyalty over time. My worst recent experience was going in the Crystal Palace Giant shop. I needed crank bolts for square taper cranks: "we order these in" was the answer. "So you pretty much only sell brand new bikes here?" "Yes"

I don't want to live in this world anymore

I'll be better off just buying a new BB rather than relive shop to shop the painful realization that proper lbs don't exist anymore (around London at least), or they are a rarity.

So, I'm lucky because the BB that came with the frame is JIS, and has good spindle length for the cranks. But the BB is missing its non drive side cup, is that something I can buy separately? Maybe it's because I don't know the proper denomination for it but I've had no luck with Google...

Ta!

From what I've read online, Middleburn cranks square tapers are JIS, anyone could confirm please?

*Garde le triple et pas de Wald STP :-)

Yes, no Wald, and keeping a triple (though maybe not this one)

On est pas des brutes!

Another little project atm... Got this lovely Look frame from @snoops, left it with @skalliwag who sorted a slightly bent rear triangle, and finally had a chance to put together a 2 minutes mockup today. The box of parts is stuff I already had, and some recent eBay hunt. Still need few bits.
Are Ourys bad taste on something like this?

So where on the Rye are we meeting?

I was wondering that

Indeed that rings a bell now!

That Mercian is so nice!
Also jealous of that MBK, I've got the track version of it and have always thought I'd need to find a road frame match...

Lovely!

Tidy!

Someone's about to have a fun weekend!

[Edit] looking forward to the shit pics!

Do they move back to front on the pivot?

Sorry to hear about your crash, hope you won't miss too much of the good weather!
Accent headtube will be great on this bike!

Oulala! This is very very nice!

Thanks!
Realistically it's only rarely (for shopping) I'd need the full Carradice panniers suite.
Sans panniers version...
