Ah, never mind. If anyone wants it, I'm selling it in another thread.

Bump!

Bugger, thanks anyway :)

Anyone got a 110mm Miche Primato BB they want to swap for a 107mm? I've got some serious chainstay rubbing going on here...

Condition is practically new - it's been fitted and ridden perhaps half a mile so any wear will be purely cosmetic.

Ben

Thanks anyway :) Yeah, I'd seen that but was wondering whether anyone had one for less. Probably go for that anyway unless someone leaps in in the next day or two...

Cheers,
Ben

Bump

I can take the weight if it means keeping my baby safe (it's a homemade affair that's worth not a lot, but is inestimably precious to softies like me). Thanks for the advice :)

In the real world, do you think that (with a Fagh as a main lock round rear wheel, frame and post) an OnGuard Bulldog Mini to lock the front wheel would be more / less effective than a cable extension through the front wheel, plus the Virtual Village alarm on the chainring? Swings and roundabouts, I guess - two D locks is arguably a better deterrent to wheel theft as the extenders tend to be made of Edam, but the alarm seems more likely to stop the whole thing being nicked...

(by the way, I've got an S-A front brake hub, so I don't think that you can get locking nuts for it...)

Sorry, realised that in my haste I was very vague there. I mean the Stronglight 55 integrated cranks and chainring. Thanks both of you :)

Dibs on the black S-A clips if you're willing to post to Oxford.

Cheers,
Ben

(UPDATED)

I'm looking for some bits to finish off a bamboo bike I'm building, all in neat condition please...

Stronglight cranks - ring size unimportant because I'm yet to get a sprocket.

Bar end plug, just the one because I'm using a bar end lever

I'm in Oxford so I'll need them to be posted.

Thanks!
Ben

Some parts found - new thread started, this thread closed.

Delete at will :)

(btw, is there any way to delete your own threads? I looked (quickly) and couldn't find it - sorry for the bother if I was able to sort it myself)

Dibs on the 1" ahead stem, assuming you don't mind posting to Oxford.

StreetNews from Denmark...

Change the rear wheel and it wouldn't be too bad. Saddle's shit but you sit on it so it's not visible when it matters.

But is that light facing backwards? (no doubt to better illuminate his rolled-up jeans and ironic calf tattoo)

See no reason why it should definitely not work, but it does depend what the other side is like.

Whoops.

I should have said 'the bulging rim'

I'll let you know about the stamp and lever markings when they arrive; those are just the ebay photos (I'm probably jumping the gun). I didn't know they date stamp components, so with luck that and the VeloBase site should solve my minor mystery. Thank you all :)

Edit: A quick look at VB makes me think that they're perhaps HC-110 or HB-6110 with the decal gone; it's hard to see from the photos whether or not they have the distinguishing lip on the edge of the flange.

A fair prognosis, though on one point I think you need clarification - the axles, cones and locknuts are in fact black.

I'm trying to find out what these hubs are. All I know is that they're Shimano, high flange road hubs with QR. As far as I know, they're nothing special, I'm just interested :)

Ben

Sweet deals, to be sure, but I've got an awkward shaped frame and I can't get a chainline less than 52mm in the front. So it's either a case of getting an expensive off-road fixed gear hub, or get a normal cup-and-cone hub, move the whole hub along the axle and dish the wheel the wrong way. Not ideal, but it works fine for the time being. But I can't do that with a sealed bearing hub like all those are, because (AFAIK), their axles are like this: http://sheldonbrown.com/harris/images/hua07.jpg
So the need still stands :)
Thanks for the link anyway, because I may be rebuilding my front wheel anyway and there are some great deals on there.

Needed - a rear track hub in any serviceable condition to get my destroyed back wheel rolling again (there's a good story behind it but 'tis not the time nor the place). Needs to be cup and cone. Spacing irrelevant. Low prices preferable :)

Ben

Nice tread! Need a replacement for my twisted Belleri Tour shaped handlebars

Have you got a picture of those from a different angle? They look lovely.

Bump. Still looking for a 36h hub (didn't win a very pretty Airlite on evilbay)

That's true, but I've since come to the same conclusion as Andy. The only 40h rims I've found are Rigida Sputniks, nice and heavy duty but heavy-weight with it.
I've changed my mind a bit, and decided 36 would be far better. Sorry for the inconvenience, first post changed to reflect my fickleness.
