this was the inspiration

I quite like this

If you know someone in the states. its only £580

I've just been fondling one at BLB, absolutely beautiful frame.
They've imported that one themselves and at the moment I think its the only one in the UK. Its also a lot cheaper than they will be when they are officially supplied to the uk.
14 will have them in soon, but for the price you could fly to the states and pick one up.

Is the BB still available?
I need one asap.

Can Armourtex mount decals (successfully) before clear coating ?

I dont think so, lacquer requires same heat as the colour coat

Does anyone know how much extra they charge for the metallic finishes?

£2 on top of the cost of lacquer they told me

Yes, picking it up today. I'll get some photos up later.

Just got back and put her together, gotta say this colour is luuuurvly!!
This bikes a surprise for my girlfriend and its torture try to keep quiet about it.
Rubbish pics for now, I'll get some better ones when shes finished and the suns shining.

For reference this is RAL5024 with lacquer. + lacquer on polished aluminium forks (lost a little bit of gleam but still looks great)
frame, forks x2 (originals done in blue as well), 3 piece brake and bars all in for 75squid at Armourtex job done.

anyone had RAL 5024 pale blue done? considering it and interested to see an example...

Yes, picking it up today. I'll get some photos up later.

Very nice, saw that just now. I wont be in the money until the end of may so doubt it'll still be around. Plus a tad old school.

Hi I need some help looking for a new track frame. I'm still riding my first fixed gear, but it's time to move on. I'd like steel, about 60cm, preferably not lugged (I'm thinking more new school). My budget is not definite yet but I'm looking in the £250 - 500 area. It's going to be for road use.

The only problem is, I have a penchant for curvy seatstay bridges.....

Hi, I'm looking for the cheapest rear wheel I can lay my hands on. I've stripped the threads on my current one. Planning an overindulgent build in a month or two but just need something to keep me going 'til then. 700c - I work on Kingsland Road.
Cheers

I don't expect you'll want this. But you both seem to know your saddles -can you tell me what it is?
It came with a bike i bought recently. Is it a brooks? Worth sticking on the bay maybe?

Got the GF's bike ready for powdercoating tomorrow. last few days been spent polishing up rims, bars and stem having removed all the nobbly bits from the frame. Picked up some alu forks today (thanks Jos) and polished them up to a chrome finish. Saddle arrived this morning, bit greyer than looked in ebay pics but its a proper ladies saddle which I think is more important. At the moment I'm thinking RAL 5024..

Thanks pm sent

Hi Newby here so hijacking the thread, hope no one minds.

I'm trying to find some chrome forks. The ones I'm replacing have 5 1/2 in of tube with top 3/4" threaded. These are Dedacciai steel 1" tubing 700c

I live in east london

Those are cheap!
They don't look proper chrome, any one seen them?

Started my first project today. Picked up a nice Olmo today thats just had a few amputations prior to a powder coating. Should be a nice surprise for the GF's birthday:

Gutted I forgot to take a before pic fully assembled, ah well.. got one from the ad
Got a couple of questions:
Is it possible to use any kind of filler for the brake cable holes if its going to be powder coated.
If not would it be an idea to screw the bottle holder screws into their holes, then file them smooth?
Cheers J

Is the seat stay bridge arched? trying to find a clear photo

Hi, Finally got round to signing up. Been skulking around anonymously for a while.
I've been riding fixed for about a month now on a on a piece of junk who's name I dare not speak. Hoping it will last a few more weeks until I have knowledge and cash to get a proper bike.
