Think it be a Specialized Roubaix, and it belonged, and should have been left, in anti.

Set of Stronglight CT2 ceramic coated ultralight chainrings, 50t and 36t, for a 110pcd compact crankset.

These are VERY light and shift beautifully

The 50t has some scrapes where I've crossed the chain, but is merely cosmetic, but apart from that I've only had 600-700miles on these, so they're still good with tons of life in them yet.

I'm only selling them as I'm being a tart and replacing these with new Cannondale chainrings to match the Cannondale Hollowgram crankset!

As these are easily £100 plus new, I'm asking the paltry sum of 65 english pounds. Price drop £45

This is a first to pay gets it sale, so no dibs.

Is there anyone who has ridden Selle Italia Flite 2013?
SLR is too narrow for me but now I find Vintage Flite too beefy
I need saddle with width around 140 like new(2013 new) and old Flite

I've been using one for a 3-4months now and is definitely the most comfortable saddle I've used in last 3yrs (9 of 'em!).

But I do find myself adjusting my position on it a lot, pushing quite far back to get sit bones on there well, but think that might well just be me as I have shortish thighs.

The bell on the down tube?!

^ I think I'm in love... 0_0

Although I now have visions of the frame hinge coming undone on a hill bomb... >_<

Needs some serious saddle to drops me thinks!

Ace.

Impressive!

^^ Nice to see it's getting a thorough load testing!

Damn, a Bianchi Pista I actually like... well done that man!

Those pics no work... :(

It is only complicated because information available about brazing is slim. I will do my best to try and share my thoughts and progress with brazing and construction. Basically anyone can make a frame if you invest in a hacksaw, descent files, bevel protractor and torch and gas. I will start investigating the possibilities of using propane instead of acetylene this year. Basically you can half the price if you can use propane instead. And you would actually be able to make cargo frames in your bedroom.
Also if anyone I interested in the rhino files I'd be happy to share them.

Would be extremely interested to see if you can, and how.

Would you have to use silver rods at the lower temp of propane, or do you reckon propane could get hot enough for brass?

The difficulty of getting Acetylene, not know what mixture to use, worry about using such a dangerous gas in ignorance, and the expense of materials have put me off trying, but a documented thread showing the details that others more knowledgeable take for granted would be a much better incentive to give it a try!

Oh and get that Spooky a size or two larger and that would get all sorts of lovin.

^ Total fillet brazed porn.

Impressive stuff, loving it.

Straight into porn. No arguments!

No arguments from me, but would be better fully built up obviously. ;D

Want to see a build thread on that sharpish Hulsroy!

Looks great, and would love to have a go on a cargo bike at some point, they look so fun to ride. :D

How does it ride Hulsroy?

Ah no, would still leave the bottom tube flexing form load bay...

As you apply load via the cockpit and loadbay, flex will occur in the bottom tube at the joint with the vertical tube which houses the control-steerer.

This flex will allow the loadbay to apply a force rearwards across the unsupported vertical tube.

What force will this tube sustain at design capacity?

Would a brace from the steerer/bottom tube junction to the center of the diagonal brace, or interceding the center brace from the steerer/bottom tube to the top tube/seat tube sort that easily enough if there was an issue?

Kick arse cargo bike though Hulsroy, very nice work, jelly of skillz and tools!

Don't know if I should, but I have a guilty liking for them cranks and they work well on the Condor.

Needs to lose a spacer or two, but a very nice build. ;P

Come on!

Full drive side photo's for the win.

It will work better with the BB7 than the SRAM levers.

Thank god for that! Bought some 6700 shifters and mechs last night on a whim... oh well, least my parts bin seems to be growing nicely. :P

i just love the aero stays on my new makino

Damn you dear Sir, shakes fist in general direction DAMN YOU!!

Does any one know if the Ultegra 6700 levers have a longer brake cable pull than SRAM?

I've heard it said a few times that SRAM levers are a bit crap with Avid BB7s, but not sure if thats the S500/S900s and/or their brifters.

Mine seem to work alright (albeit with compressionless cables, Ashima pads, and much on-going tinkering), but they are the only ones I've tried, so have nothing for a comparison.

I just vaguely remember something about newer Shimano brakes having a longer pull or something...

miss this set up, deffo need to get that frame repaired

Still reckon if we started a "help the rat fund" you'd get enough to fix it pretty quick, it really is a forum fav.

Anyone know how to set up a paypal or other account so that all contributors can see how close we get to total needed and see where their money is going?

Last time I rode a BMX I ended up biting a car pumper...
