In the unlikely event I win the langster please drop me a pm as there is now way I'll be able to come to london for wednesday!

i've heard that you may be able to sue a council for the damages if the pot hole was above a certain size... not sure if that is helpful or not

I've never used any epoxy before (unless araldite counts which I don't think it does really). As such I just went with the same stuff as I saw in one of those blogs. I think I am going to do a "dry run" of each joint so that I know what I am doing though.

A little bit ahead of myself I know, but here are some components I'm planning to put on the frame when it's done. I'm going mostly for carbon just because I like it... and I don't know how heavy the frame will be so I want to keep things light-ish.
The cranks are pretty heavy, but I think I can live with it. BB, saddle stem and brake are all quite light!

@ root I have a rack that attaches at the brake bridge, could post it to you for £12? It is wider than that one though.

Lovely bike, should sell easily :)

yes... depending on what you mean by that. Here is a pic

I have a 26.4 one, £7?

Feel like saving it for later? I will be in barcalona ;)

Another drop on the projector! Works great with dvd player/xbox etc

Anybody got something along the lines of this?: http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-track-bike/headsets-headset-spares-accessories-m-part-carbon-fork-expander-bung/mparhstz200

will need postage to cambs

damn i'll have second dibs on the wheel set

The minimum insertion line at about 9cm on the tape measure

Could be a tight link actually, I'll check that in the morning. My pedals are brand new and the problem predates them, but I'll check the BB again just to be sure. Thanks!

Cleaned up the original post and included some new price drops!

There have been quite a few of these I have known but I am too ashamed to do as I no longer own a fixed bike :(

it sounds quite regular yes. It doesn't happen all the time though, it comes and goes with no obvious trigger

Hey guys, I've noticed a very irritating knocking sound whilst pedaling on my tourer. I'm quite sure it isn't the BB, so unless it is an odd form of chain noise, I am assuming the rear mech is the issue. Anybody know anything about that? I like my bikes to be silent :(

I have a shitload of old tubes btw, if anybody has the patience to repair them or wants them for art or something you can have them

I'm not in london, i'm in cambridge. There is a thread in mechanics, if you post what you have in there someone might know exactly the spindle length you need for a good chainline

I could post a BB to you for £10... did you have a specific spindle length, or will any do?

If luckyskull isn't interested my gf may be interested in the puch if you could put up a picture?

I have a belt drive Strida and I hate it... although that's probably more to do with its geometry etc

Not sure about popdown and benh but mine is going to be fixed gear with just a front brake, less to think about really.

There I was thinking that I was special :P

That's another good one, I'll read through it in more detail at some point :) I find it a bit odd that he chose to keep his seat tube as metal, then cut it out and bond bamboo. Another method for the same effect I saw was to use a bamboo seat tube, but insert a metal part and glue it with epoxy and high density filler etc. Either way, I can't use his method because the seat tube on my frame is the reason it is scrap!
