i had a weird day with a difficult friend whom drove me round the bend
Serious question...When this happened were you holding the pitlock?
-
Progress on the nasty/nostalgic mid 90s mtb.
4 solid days, 2 tins of nitromors, 3 rolls of wire wool, 8 sheets of wet & dry, 2 wire brushes, 2 tubes of autosol, countless rags and 10 bleeding fingers, and we have BLING!
filed out some of the welds around the GT badge and bridge.
Would look good painted red IMHO.
-
Get rid of that gt monstrosity then... Or one of rebecca's?
-
Quick... Jesus is waking up. Look busy..
Bumpage.
And what the fuck is that with a plate of ice-cream on it's head?
-
Jesus is awake... And he wants to know what the Christ do you need a brake for? He also says keep the Quinn, you need at least 12 rides in your house to be a real saviour!
-
Why not make the guy an offer, and use the saving plus the saved postage to get a nice cheap young persons day return, or even mega bus and pay in cash?*
*This obviously won't help if your trying to scam some cash from people. Alternatively wire the cash to my Nigerian bank account and i'll go and get them for you and even wrap them up for your dad?
-
Done on the cheap to be a bit more suited to my location, but cannot get on with riding it, so am passing it on, and sticking to what i know better! -
yeah look, we all know that frame hasn't sold and isn't going to. I'm just having a few beers and killing some time amusing myself before someone else did it, but there is no need to dredge this back up, its been done to death in classifieds. Bout time i grew up.
I do have a current project update to come soonish though. -
I'm no mug, got me a genuine NOS cinelli frame and even haggled enough of the asking price to do the repair myself.
-
Any advice on where i can get this repaired and painted?
-
Your auction perchance?
It's odd that you and one of your only friends on here "chase and statham" have both posted links to that vendor's sales, no?
That supposed to be aimed at me detective?

57cm Roberts track: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Chas-Roberts-Track-Frame-57cm-Campagnolo-Pista-Headset-/120704877058?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item1c1a924202
he also has these campag pista cranks.
-
Good luck in finding one but i may say, if this is your first fixed gear (im assuming) dont go for 650 front.
Why?
-
can any be arsed to chop it?
In my defence, i swapped out the ostrich concor I wanted to keep when i photographed it for the ad, hence the angle is off on that one that is just resting in place:-)
Concor supercorsa saddle (that is tilted a bit far forward b4 anyone says!)
-
Didn't sell in the end, Drop me a PM with your details and i'll let you know in the future if i decide to. Cheers

... and here's the Standard article on Charlotte's bikes:
What is going on with the brake on the middle bike, i'm pist, but i've looked twice and it looks worng???
-
Hoping to finish this off over the weekend.
Picked up this frame a couple of weeks ago and I've been working on it whenever I've had the chance. Unknown maker but was said to be a british builder around late 70's, light and thin tubing, campag dropouts and wishbone stays suggests decent tubing.White spirit to take off the black spray can job didn't show any decals so I used paint stripper
After a hell of a lot of polishing with 600, 1000 wet and dry, then 0000 wire wool, then two coats of lacquer
[](http://s1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd488/teome_/WIshbone%20Frame/?action=view¤t=DSCN5652.jpg)Building up now for fixed with as much silver/chrome as possible. Probably slowly buy 2nd hand bits for a groupset and run it as a 10 speed.
Does anyone have any idea of the maker or period.How long did that take you?
-
Ok, I've bitten the bullet and bought some 7spd shifters, can't be dealing with changing the whole group at the moment, however i am now after 1 little thing if someone can help.
Cheapy cheap little cable stops. Shimano, or anything really so i can hook up my STI's.
Also, if anyone has the cables and outers going spare, that would be much appreciated too! (its a not spend too much project to get me riding a bit more in this hillier part of the world) Over the years, i have thrown so many away... infact i even threw away the exact shifters i have just bought!
Thanks
-
Could i fit another brand uniglide cassette to use with a campag group?
Sheldon, says using a 10 speed shifter with the 9 speed block is ok, as it kinda self corrects itself. Could i just use the 9 speed shifter with my 7 speed block on there, or will that just not work.
-
It always seems cheaper finding a complete bike.
I came across the moser by chance, unfortuneatly too big, but then got me thinking about upgrading the group on mine. This is nearly half the price of the group alone atm. It is beggining to feel like too mcuh hassle now!
-
No, to put on the merckx, and the moser is too big
-
Some interesting info above. I'd like to attempt Sheldons 9 of 10 idea, but i'm not sure i'll need too. My hubs are the suntour superbe pro as seen here. http://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx?ID=9E224EDE-F8C8-48DF-87A6-FE12CA73CE09&Enum=110&AbsPos=7
And it states here they are 8 spd. Mine have a 7spd shimano block on. Is it possible the 7spd has been fitted to a 8spd hub, and i could revert back to an 8 or even 9?
I'm looking to do a direct swap with a 9spd campagnolo chorus setup but keep my wheels.Also, on chorus hubs, it is possible to screw any size block on? (ie smaller)

So the lazy git couldn't even be bothered to take it down the stairs? Did you see his new one before he left?
Enigma looks ok
So what happened to one in one out... i count 2, and neither are shall we say subtle!
