Thanks RVL. I have had both of them tucked away for a long time. The raw frame was built for about a month then taken apart, The Woodrup has yet to see wheels under my ownership...... both need 27" wheels and my focus has been on other more practical projects....

Both are tatty, one is very ratty...... Which one for the Tweed Run?

thanks, looking forward to seeing your audax in the flesh(steel) at some point in the very near future.

A couple of 600 group-sets for thought, i personally like the look of the sis(top one). nice and clean lines, simple and about the same age as your frame I should imagine.
I have a 600 tricolour group on my TT bike and a mix of 600tri/sis on my rat daily ride, IMHO they work really well and do the job.

BB 37mm: if you measure the width of the bottom bracket shell. It will be 68mm wide and UK threading, seeing it is a British made frame.

Seatpost hole(?)28mm: the seat post diameter will be 27.2, maybe 27 as its 531.

Stem hole (?) 24mm: it should take or 1" stem.

I have see the frame, its really nice in the flesh. love the colour! Good luck with the build I look forward to seeing its progress.

still looking.............the above were all road wheels..........

super! picture would be great. i cant pm you, but have put my email on your profile wall. thanks.

sorry, they have to be 27" and clinchers. thanks anyway

sill looking for the most vital part to get me in motion for the tweed run.

oh yes! loving this. good work. i would like something like this for my every-day bike.

snowy Saturday bump...........

It's not a big issue. Loads of info on Google. .... Just rub rust off with wire wool /steel brush. Paint with some oil based paint, Hammerite ect. Or mask area and spray it with car paint........Then ride it. End.

But if you kept it inside you would have alot less issues later on with the whole bike turning to shit........Or being stolen, kicked in. I would be more worried about that than the rust.

thank you for your offer, but they are a little too ratty for my needs. i am still looking if anyone has a track/path wheelset up for sale?

Hello,
As the title suggests i am after a 27" fixed / track wheelset.
I'm putting together a early 60's track frame for the tweed run. Its very ratty and tatty, but i think it has charm. Anyone one have a wheelset they want to sell onto me? Anything considered.
Thanks LS

Thanks for the advice. i have shed full of old bikes and as i said, i have been building and repairing bikes for a long time, in workshops, bike kitchens and community projects. maybe going to work in a shop would help hone my skills in no other way could..... i guess what i was trying to figure out what would be the industry standard, seems to be Cytech? if i want to get a visa for Australia i would need something to prove i know what I'm doing. ....and hopefully land a job.

can i have just one of the 52t rings? top middle or far right? one with the least use... maybe the middle? maybe i could see both?........ oh i dont know.... but it would really help me out. thanks.

like me, most of you guys build and maintain your own bikes. What would be the best course to help me up my game? Get a qualification that counts. e.g if i want to travel and get a job abroad?

I have been building and fixing bikes all my life, I have spent a year working at the bike recycling center in Walthamstow, have volunteered all over the place at various bike kitchens. I feel I'm fairly competent mechanic, but have room to improve and would value from a decent teacher.

Bike Works does a 10 day VRQ city and guilds course at £900. Am i going to learn anything new? is this just a waste of money?

Is there a college course in London anyone could recommend? something longer than 10 days?

Any help suggestions, views?
Thanks,
LS

i put it in paint porn......... needs better pictures. that shit is rad to the next level!
