A mate bought this off German eBay, frame and wheels, missing the correct crankset but it’s coming along nicely

@Josh that DeKerf is lovely

I just re-read the thread, Nik you gotta make it perfect for you lad!! If you need anything sent over from Germany drop me a message. Gonna be a beautiful bike

Or perhaps try a conical headset spacer to hopefully give a smooth aesthetic/transition.
Been trying to convince my mate to slam the stem on his colnago (he’s got an interesting conical top part of the headset branded colnago) but when your over 50 leaning over gets a tad harder.

I think if you roughed up the clamping area you should be kinda/hopefully ok.
Also some bmx stems like wethepeople stc (shark tooth clamping) have ridges in them.

Yep that’s the one

How about one of those carbon wrapped colnago branded stems from a few years ago? I think they came in black or white

For sure my mate had the same problem signing into his Discogs accounts from my internet with a vpn. I think he has 2 or 3 accounts each one for different types of music. I’m amazed at the amount of money he makes. It takes time but worth cataloging them properly. I reckon on average he sells 50 records a week from there. It’s his full time job I think he’s got around 15k on sale on discogs

I think all Breitling dealers ship them there and take the shipping risk we only drove down because the watches were expensive and the Breitling service centre had just been remodeled. I’m sure there’s a shop in Swindon that would ship it for you

Beautiful bike glws

This Dave Yates in the classifieds is big and stunning, perhaps he would post

I don’t know if it’s the same nowadays but when I was living near Oxford we had to drive down to Tunbridge Wells to the Breitling service centre it’s in a small industrial park on Longfield Road next to Screwfix. Or pretty much any Breitling dealer can ship it down there for you.

Did a spring service on this Marin this morning for the lad I sold it too, then took it for a little test ride, nice little bike

I had one back in the mid 90’s super light bike, I remember it being the cheapest of the OCLV range, loved how it rode, it was flexy on the back end but a brake booster helped tighten it up. Ended up snapping the gear hanger think the pro ones came with a replaceable hanger. Overall a really nice frame though.

My dream watch is the white gold with onyx dial ref 18239, had a look around 10 years ago. Last month I found one that’s gonna be up for sale in Hong Kong but the price is way way out of my range I think it will go for 400k.
My mate that brought the one above for me to try has a regular gold with onyx dial that I’m very tempted to try and make a deal on.

Had a look at a lovely old day date this afternoon, come to the realization 36mm is too small for me.

Exactly, kinda wanna try one, here’s a pic with the springs

Did anyone else see the cargo race on Saturday? The Omnium tall bike was awesome.
And saw Strisland ti prototype locked outside too, looked amazing

This is Hippy’s Kona, still stuck in Eastbourne

Every now and then I used to courier some really expensive watches around for this guy

He would just give me the watch boxed and throw it in my bag. Bought my first watch off him and must of paid 5x the cost of the watch in repairs over the last 30 years from crashing.

I love the interior with the trippy checkered fabric

I’m hoping to change the steerer tube on an old set of range switchblades, seems like a pretty straightforward job, anyone have any tips? Plan is to buy a rst 1” threaded straight steerer and new crown race mount for the switchblade.

Never seen a linen dial in real life was suprised how nice they look and not crazy expensive and tried on a couple of other Rolex’s

Was working in a garage yesterday saw some nice cars, all owned by the same guy

Put a set of Paul levers on my Cinelli today, and mocked up my Kestrel, ended up using some road control tech parts and a high rise set of bars so it’s more comfortable. Looking forward to finishing it and taking it to the woods next week.
