Care to elaborate...

Not to snub your info, but being 15 years ago it might be a bit of out 'touch' with the area now. Thanks for the input though.

Shady bump on that^

Anyone here in the streatham hill area (near the rail station), seen a few nice properties; just wondering what the locations like?

Geo is fine for me on a 59 at 6'1". I've 34' inseam and long arms. Although my steerer is cut all the way down. Fits lovely for me. With 20cm of seat post showing as well.

Thanks but also need for another bike so just going to order a bunch online.

sorry to noob.

But i've got a miche brake (http://www.wiggle.co.uk/miche-performance-57mm-drop-brake-calliper-set/) right now with bolt through pads. Clearly i need some new pads. Looking at the cool stop ones but not sure which i need as i've bolt through and no brake shoes to just put pads into.#

These in salmon the business? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=46439

Thanks.

Is that better/different to using wet and dry sand paper? Less abrasive to the pain?

Fuck. I'm having a slow day; apologies.

I have a black set. So thus my question, will it take of the logo but keep the black paint? or how could i go about it on a black set?

Regarding the miche & the graphics that are on there.

Can they be stripped of easily enough with wet and dry sand paper and has anyone done it?

Got a sportive coming up in a few months, 100mi, anyone got a good bit of reading or tips for training specifically. Beyond just knocking more miles out on the bike currently.

Cool bike. Nice work.

Bit of a x-post from current projects. But wanted to say hello to the fellow people.

About finished, just going to smash it around for a bit and see how i like it. Did 50miles today and feels GREAT. Such a sweet ride, fits perfect.
Running 49/17, thought it might be a bit too much but if anything too little.

Oh saddle suitable adjusted now, nursing some crushed balls for sure.

Done. Rides like a fucking dream, just knocked out 50miles. Running 49/17.

Seen this?

Few important bits still to arrive for the steamroller. Built from scratch, save headset, with some cost in mind!

Few bits so the wippermann it is.

Muchos grassyarse amigo.

Need a standard (ish) but good 3/32 9spd for a road bike. Normal riding, some sportives. Running a mixture of components, parts bin, so just a normal decent chain for a fair price.

MKS alpha double straps here for £30 bargain. http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/PEMKTS/mks-toe-strap

Okay note taken, thanks. It is a 1400 from 2006, i believe.

Think there must be something wrong with the clap, the top part can be 'pulled' away, so it wouldn't clap sideways as it would be pulled by the weight of the bike. Not sure what's up with it.

Can't seem to work out what model this is, beyond slr tour de france special. Maybe a 1400? But year too? Google doesn't help much.
Got gifted it, so have no clue about it.

Yup following the video of the funny dude with glasses(the bike tube)/looking at sheldons guide.

Seem to have sorted it, changed a nipple that wasn't tightening to another one and it's tightened up, guess it was slipping beyond the thread.

/noob. Thanks

I think my spokes may be too long? Can't seem to get the nipples all the way in the hole or proper tension. Pretty sure it's laced right...?

I used the calc online and dt swiss and got the same 288 (14mm nippes) Gran compe 36h to mavic open pro. dt swiss comp spokes

anyone able to advise? Maybe i just need to spend more time on it. Should there be thread showing on the spokes once tight?

Thanks a lot L.H. and skive, really appreciate the words :)
