some more details of the bike, cant seem to load all of my photos for some reason?
-
christianSpaceman I agree it looks very similar in geometry to your Mercian. I emailed Chas Roberts for some info on this frame but they are probs too busy building frames.
-
Pistoffski sounded clued up and he was very helpful supplying me with parts and some free labour.
If a 5' 7 - 5'9 gent doesnt want this bike, surely his girlfriend will???

Get the most modern turbo diesel you can so you get good mpg. Ford are a safe option with plenty of cheap parts about. I would also recommend the VW polo 1999 cos Ive got one.
-
I bought the frame off Pistoffski who said it was built for someone 5'11 don't know if it actually was, but he sounded pretty genuine so I bought it.
However I do know that my knees are beginning to ache quite a bit which isn't a good sign so Im gonna get a bigger bike as I need my knees.

Due to little interest.
PRICE DROP £350 plus a spare innertube for each wheel.

Hello all and listen up!
I am selling my Chas Roberts Low profile Time Trial Frame with fork and parts. Now here comes the schpeel.
It is a metallic purple, hand-built from lightweight Reynolds 653 tubing and is of part lugged, part fillet brazed construction. It takes a 700c rear wheel and a 650/26" front wheel. The frame and fork are in very good condition.
My chain did come off once wrapping itself around the bottom bracket (photo supplied) chipping some paintwork. Nothing serious! there are a couple of tiny storage marks, other than that it's 'almost' perfect.According to a fellow LFGSS member allow me to quote, "the frame was custom built for someone who's height is 5'11. It's 'Micro' geometry - so it has a short seat-tube and is designed for use with a long seat post. Frame sizing is; 56cm top tube (CTC) / and 45cm Seat tube (CTC).
I am 5'11 hence the purchase 4 months ago, however the frame IS too small for me. Hence the reluctant sale. I would then add that this bike would suit someone 5'7 to 5'9.
The rear spacing is 130mm with Ritchey Vertical dropouts. Front spacing is 100mm and it takes a 27.2mm seat post and a standard quill stem. Bottom bracket threading is of course English.
Included in the sale are the following parts:
-Campagnolo Xenon brake which came with Shimano 600 pads (new 600 pads thrown in for free)
-Cinelli Milano stem
-Cinelli Champion Del Mundo bars with fizik bar tape
-Stronglight 1" Threaded Headset
-26" front Vili-Vili clincher rim on a Formula high flange track hub, new
black spokes and nipples and specialized tyre
-700c rear Ambrosio rim on a System Ex hub and Panaracer clincher tyre
-A Long 27.2mm Silver Kalloy Seat Post
-Turbomatic 4 saddle
-Shimano UN54 Bottom Bracket
-Shimano custom cranks
-Shimano 600 pedals with cages and worn out christophe straps
-Shimano Dura ace 54 tooth chain ring
-KMC chain
-Miche 18 tooth sprocket
-Shimano Dura ace lock ring
-Rear reflectorI stripped down the whole bike 1 week ago, degreasing, cleaning and re-greasing everything apart from the hubs. I replaced the brake cable but have left the worn down pads (ready to be replaced by you be it Shimano or Campagnolo)
I don't want to split any of the above.
£400. Now gives me your monies.

[SIZE=2]Vaudeville Villain - Change the Beat
A modern day marvel but terrible, better horrible
When he grab the mic, son he crushed up all his metacarpals
He said he ain't mean it, totally by accident
After the show, he didn't follow where y'all taxi went
Will this be available on wax? Ask Max Mill
They on the opposition to his ass wack tax bill
But will it pass the senate? Slum lord tenant
And super like 1-A, have a fun stay
One day, he plan to put in a runway
With enough land for his own projects and gun play
Section 8 penthouse, maid look like Faye Dunaway
Alotta y'all assed out like gay runaways
It's how they say "semi-risque"
All day everyday, give out Emmy's the quick way
Have the average mc say, "Gimme a sick day!"
They really ain't got shit to say like Timmy McVeigh
Get a hunch, a real rag tag bunch
In school, he kept a doo rag in his bag lunch
Just to eat heads on some breakdance shit and spit[/SIZE] -
and for special occasions -
Danger Doom Sofa King
[SIZE=2]Got y'all but it's not all bare and skittles
Prepare the viddles, got riddles and spittles
Crystal clear to the jock or the tittle
TSSSS.. It's hot off the griddle
Came to take the cake wether it's a lot or a little
KABOOM... DOOM is nervous large[/SIZE] -
Woops!
I am also bad at maths. I'm off then.

Pheew!

Hi Snowcrash,
What cleats do these take? I have a pair of these pedals and have bought some shoes today but wasn't 100% sure on the cleat model. I know they are Look but which ones??cheers
-
I would say concentrate on cycling cycle. I'm no expert but know that when I stand up out of my seat and sprint a bit my quads get a nice/horrible burn. So maybe cycle to work on a route that has a couple of inclines?

54x18 fixed. Takes a while to get going but once you're going you fly, then you have to stop at the traffic lights and start again. But I kind of like it.
