If you need any help making the storyboards/illustrations for road positioning, locking etc, I can help

I hope you get it back, and if you do, you should get a better lock for it.

Bought this cheap Chinese bellows a few years ago but never tried it with a film camera(for obvious reasons). Had a bit of fun messing around with it last night though

Wow! I really like both of these. We don't often see still life on this thread too.

Slice them away from the rim with a razor blade?

Fuji looks very functional if you ask me.

Steel frames tend not to fail suddenly - it likely won't snap. Perhaps ride it and jump up and down on the cranks in your garden/on soft floor to see if it gets any worse.

You can always get the tube replaced by a framebuilder.

Not any more, I left home for uni five years ago and never went back. I'm in Tiptree visiting my parents at the moment though - if you see someone on an orange fixed Peugeot give me a shout!

I've not been to 53-12 but I'll check them out. The bike shop in Mark's Tey is amazing - the owner is some old dutch guy who walks around in his 1980s racing jersey all day (and slaps himself in the face when he makes a mistake).

you may have more luck with ammonia....try something with that in.....most window washers have at least a little.....

I bought some household ammonia and poured it in neat - seems to be working!

The whole seattube was blocked solid by this stuff, whatever it was.

will be doing this but in colchester not many people understand fixed gear bikes!

The bike shop opposite The Playhouse sells fixed gear bikes and parts - they're pretty good in there.

Phased plasme rifle in the 40 watt range?

Hey, just what you see on the shelf buddy.

SOLD Suntour/Dia-Compe brakes, £10 Marked as Suntour but Dia-Compe stamped on rear, 39-51 short drop, allen key fitting, good condition with some surface rust on steel fittings SOLD

Usual dibs followed by PM. Paypal or bank transfer is fine. Thanks!

Just waiting on wheels for my touring bike - anyone? They don't have to be Campagnolo Record, just good quality 36h silver hubs

Any general consensus recommendations as to what wax or oils work well, last a long time, and don't make you all greasy? I tried laquer once and even running a fingernail over it made it all flake off, BAD idea.

Brake outer, not gear outer.

Rear brake outer cable too long fail.

Got a carbolite Peugeot in 64cm (from memory, will check), recently powdercoated with new decals.

Atrocious photo, sorry. Frame, fork, headset, seatpost and BB for £70 delivered? I'll get some better photos if you're interested.

Not meaning to be rude but there's already a thread about vintage Peugeot conversions. I suggest this thread gets merged with it.

Those little paint pen things are good for doing lug-lining - maybe you could try that?

Make sure to test that they don't react with the lacquer though.

I imagine they could be easily painted with a textured paint.

2nd dibs

The ET ride at Universal Studios did it better:

I just dissolved an alu seatpost with caustic soda, but now I have a big plug of white crusty stuff inside the seat-tube. Water won't dissolve it, and it's quite resilient to physical attack from a metal bar - any chemists here know what it is and how to get rid of it?

Perhaps heating the tube? Presumably it won't expand as much as the steel will...

If you go to Halfords they do little touch-up kits that have a brush-on primer, colour and lacquer - they work really well. They do cost about a tenner though.

Finding a match is gonna be trial and error though - Fiat Ferrari Red isn't going to be the same as Cinelli Ferrari Red! Each manufacturer has their own standard (and those standards change over time... so 2007 Ferrari Red could be slightly different to 2008 Ferrari Red... and within those years there are also different variations based on when in the paint run the particular car/frame was painted - I used to work in a paint shop where things get pretty technical!)

Spraying a clear lacquer on your frame will lead to a lot of overspray. Instead you can spray the lacquer into the lid and use a little brush or slip of paper to apply it directly onto the paint.

The lacquer might also react with the varnish underneath, so test it first.

I bought a pair of these with the S2C hub - arrived quickly and are well built. I've been going out on a few short rides around town and I'm really impressed by them - the brake has decent modulation and getting the hang of the gearshift is pretty easy. I've got it set up as 42/22 giving 67" and 50" which is good for the rolling hills around here.
