2nd dibs

It's koval's ad, so it would be polite to let him have first dibs.

ofc :)

Whats the hub on this and does it run true? More pics? Price as well, please.

Rory

I have just been offered a frame on eBay this morning which I am going to prioritise over the wheel at the moment, both are knocked on my bike, yet the frame is literally cracked in half where the wheel is worn right out on the break rim. I'll get back to this when I next get paid if that's okay?

late dibs

same

I am interested in getting something like these that is a bit narrower and more raised. What are these type of handlebars called and how can I find them? Paloma? Why have I found it hard to find narrower and or more raised ones? Is there a reason for it? Presumably, width is for handling and one would want to be low for aerodynamics rather than high for comfort?

Is there a handlebar thread? I am interested in sharing different handlebar suggestion and ideas. Why do people use different handlebars? Maybe some more "different" ideas.

are the narrow dutch bars with brown tape gone? can i dibs them? if not how can i find / what should i search to find something like this (if not narrower and more raised)? rory

Off the peg.

From experience a few layers of lacquer will not be enough to protect it especially if you use it throughout winter.

What does off the peg actually mean? Not mass produced?

By protecting it do you mean: preventing rust and the bike collapsing from under you?
I keep my bike inside most of the time. It's only really when riding that it gets wet. Winters almost over anyway. The beasts from the easts are getting less effective.

Is there anything else one can cover the metal in other than lacquer? Some kind of transparent anti-rusting agent?

Thanks for the advice

OTP steel frames

Whats this?

That won't protect it from the elements

Ill keep it in my bedroom then ;) I given a bike a few layers of lacquer before and it seemed to work well.

I am actually after something unpainted. Can you link me one of these painted on gumtree? WOuld you not recommend them?

Thanks, CV sounds good

How big is the fork in your current bike?

the tube is about 17.5cm or 18.5 including the headset
the forks from top to centre of where the axel sits is about 56cm

Which one are you planning on getting?

best wishes

They're cheap

Thanks! yeah, others have mentioned this!

Does the cheapness correspond with weight?

Rory

I am going to leave the frame unpainted - spray it with a matte lacquer to protect it from the elements.

If it does turn out to be Reynolds 531

surely it would be better/lighter than:
