This looks fun

Quoted for new page, because it's fucking rad and looks perilously close to 'the answer'.
If one were to build this kind of bike and want

• ability to use a medium-travel sus fork
  
• ability to use a 1x10spd geared and SS drivetrain
  
  

what dropout-type would be ideal? Something sliding?
What would be a good frameset to start with?

VW did a recent survey entitled 'How much do Dubbers spend on wheels for their cars' and the answers came back;

• Proper Old VW : Porsche or BBS rims - £3k
  
• Horrible 90s VW : Mercedes or Audi rims - £1k
  
• Newish VW : Lamborghini or Maserati rims - £6k-8k
  
  

So they readjusted their parts prices accordingly. I don't see the problem.

Marc by Marc Jacobs probably has something suitable for about 20 quid.

Casey-Neistat-wannabe flies to Africa to highlight toxic effect of e-waste, immediately becomes part of the problem. WAC.

No, they don't. 35c max for V3 and versions prior. 35c max also stated for V4.

^What he said. It really isn't very difficult or time-consuming.

When I bought my CAAD3 new in 1999, Bikepark in Covent Garden (later became CycleFit I think?) had a CAAD3 frameset on the wall that had been Gunther Von Hagens'd straight down the middle. The downtube was almost beer-can thin in places. Cannondale-trained mechanics at the time were instructed never to clamp any part of the frameset when using a workstand.

Hard Drives aren't serviceable items. They have a finite lifespan measured in wear, not time. Tbh it's impossible to guess how long any of them will last.
Once they start showing signs of age though, failure is imminent (<24hrs, in my experience).
If you don't already use Time Machine or regularly clone your drive with some free software such as CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, do it ASAP.
Overclockers should be able to sell you a good new HDD for your Macbook.
The rest of the machine is probably absolutely fine. You can replace the HDD yourself using an iFixit online guide.

That product actually describes itself as 'non-abrasive' so perhaps test it on a less critical area, under the BB shell for example.
I doubt there will be any chemicals in a Meguiar's polish that will react badly with your paint.

I was told that polishing could damage the clear coat of the original paintwork

That's precisely how most proper car polish works. It finely scratches through dull flattened clearcoat to reveal a pristine layer beneath. Different grades of polish will have more or less aggressive 'cutting' power. It's very easy to apply too much pressure or use too coarse a polish and burn through the clearcoat to the paint, particularly on non-flat surfaces such as bicycle frame tubes.

Here, Gumtree, eBay, Craigslist.

That rules! So cool that you have the Maguras for it.
What length are the top tube and seat tube? It looks tiny!

Clone it, today.

1. Use as few brand-new parts as possible.
   
2. Don't insist on it looking perfect.
   
3. Be patient. Christmas is coming, people are selling off stuff they don't need. January's a long month too, with Christmas credit bills and tax returns at the end of it. That's proper bargain season.
   
   

I built this up as my first fixed about 7 years ago, and it cost me about half your budget.
I made a lot of mistakes with it, but I wasn't in a rush and merely wanted a pub bike.

Paint is a consumable. Underneath, the framebuilding (which is what Serottas are prized for) remains the same. Give it a second life in whatever way you want.
I also love their flouro fades.

Gerard Vroomen himself admits it's nicked from the Italians.
The é is further down the name. It's Cervélo, not Cérvelo.

Yeah, fuck those Italians. We just took one of their words for our company and well basically we decide how you say it.
Love your sweet Bianshee fixie, by the way.

Raleigh Lizard, now that was the daddy.

Was that the Daddy that gave birth to the bastard son known as the Activator, seemingly the only bike stupid enough to have a unicrown suspension fork (that wasn't a Cannondale HeadShok)?

Peep Show quotes don't need sub-Etsy greeting card design to shine. Plain ol' subtitles will do.

That Amaro's a beast. Love it.

Cervello + Vélo = Cervélo = 'Brain Bike' = I'm dead clever I ride a Cervélo, etc

Canadian English with an Italian root word, so it's actually 'Cher-vey-low'

I'm opening up the pre-order for my new NEVERNOTCHECKINGINSTAGRAM Broveto'Cross Urban CobbleGrinder skinsuit.
Goes live in 3, 2, 1, oh sorry you've missed it.

That's the only model of Serotta I ever see for sale on Craigslist. Headtube for days.

Try eating more real food and less sugary processed stuff? Less crashy-crashy.
Fuck gels, Dates are nature's gels.
Banana & espresso before ride, mostly savoury food & nuun+water during, salty+sweet food & water/beer to recover.
