why get the tt protector?

Is a more interesting question.

The frame was designed for 27inch wheels. Rather than 700c wheels, which is what you have in there, which are the modern equivalent and smaller.

Sheldon can explain all.

mismatched wheels usually look a bit odd and er...mismatched. are you sure you want to go that route?

Don't go with white grips. Especially not white ourys. They will look disgusting in seconds.

Hah! I will maybe send round my dad, once he has his old Peugeot competition back on the road again, sadly I don't have a tea hunting SWAT team at my disposal. I live in London now but I did pop down recently to avail myself of a shiny new road bike courtesy of atb sales.

Colin, I am assuming on your ride through town and on to glyne gap that you used the road, and not the weird hardpack pebble covered beachside track? Absolutely beautiful bike by the way, very impressive!

Dibs no25. Pm incoming.

Check out Varno's wheels in the classified. Better wheels that come recommended.

If its on a budget then I wouldn't bother with a respray just yet. Get it rolling first, cheap resprays just get damaged in a second.

Only if you think like that. That paintjob is flair.

Just get a quill stem. That kore thing is pretty painful on the eyes anyway, especially compared to the skinny tubes.

Mildly confused by the choice of stem. Doesn't look like a quill to me?

Just get a black rear tyre and that will look ace and be straight into the hhsb thread.

Can someone please recommend me a fast rolling, reasonably priced, reasonably puncture resistant tyre to put on the front of Les?

around £10 would be great if there is such a tyre....

I think on-one/px have the schwalbe blizzard on sale for super cheap. served me well over the last few years.

Dibs acor brake. PM coming once on pc.

Haha thats ok, thanks for the attempt anyway. One came up on e-bay but I was outbid. Shouldnt've bought just one half on impulse in the first place...

Hey,

I am after a 172.5mm non drive side crank arm, square taper.

Not fussed about colour/make just needs to work to get a beater going.

I am based in Cambridge so will need posting unless you are around these parts.

Cheers.

That is one absolutely stunning stealth machine. I hope you wear only black to ride it. with a ninja mask.

The toe overlap is something crazy so unfortunately I'm gettin regular pedals w/o straps and a clamp on keirin brake.

I don't get it, if you get different pedals your feet are still in the same position right? so toe overlap is not going to go away? also front wheel/downtube clearance looks scaaaaary

What size is the helmet?

interesting? riding and steering might becoming an issue with the fork being in the way of your knees.

It's clearly not a patent issue, since tensioned UD fibre has been used by plenty of people other than Lightweight, it's just rank stupidity on the part of Madfiber (clue is in the name). All the fibres at right angles to the tensile load are contributing precisely nothing to the strength of the spoke, and are probably increasing the probability that a crack in an edge will propagate across the full width of the spoke.

Sure the perpendicular fibres won't be bridging any crack that wants to propagate, but increase the probability that the crack will propagate? magically reducing the fracture toughness by their presence? I find that unlikely.

initially pretty inoffensive? but then look at it looks mr mc gasherson. just grim. and alfines a fugly too. so having something that looks like an alfine but possibly isnt (cant tell from blurry ness) is just urhhghhhghghghhghghggg

baaaaaaaaaaaaah

would you consider posting the seatpost?

i get the impression he didn't stick it down with tape at the start, which he wouldn't have managed if he had wrapped it the usual way.
