Do you mind me asking what size profiles you're getting and a price? I am just pricing up right now, having bought the kit from Ideas 2 Cycles (thanks for the link, @Rik_Van_Looy). The kit cost 99 euros, and is on its way. I am thinking of building the jig out of larger extrusions to make it stiffer, but costs quickly get big with the larger profiles.
I've been looking at extrusion prices on aluminium-profile.co.uk, they are about £11 per metre (40x40mm) or £19 per metre for 40x80mm.

If anyone has any experience with this kind of jig, or thoughts on what I should look out for, I would be grateful!

Hopeful third dibs...

Interested in some of the DA stuff, will PM

If its not a daft question, what length is a short/medium/full coverage front/rear guard, and how does this compare to a standard SKS bluemels?

Am interested in the XT stuff, will PM

I need to sell the climbing stuff. That was a lifetime ago! Its a bit daunting, to be honest. So much stuff to sort through... And I have to find somewhere to relocate it all.

In an effort to try to get things moving, I'm posting a couple of pics of my "to be" workshop. Right now, its just a corridor with a load of tat piled up in it. But someday soon it will be my workshop, oh yes! We have electrics (at the moment, just evidenced by one bulkhead light) - sorry, M_V. I'll either build or buy a good bench, and then start acquiring the rest of the bits I need.

Shimano Tiagra 9-speed, all working nicely but I treated my winter bike to something shinier:

Brifters, ST-4501 with a bit of a tear in the left-hand lever hood £15
Rear mech, RD-4600 in v good condition £10
Front mech, band on for 31.8mm, FD-4600, in good condition, £7

Unbranded dual pivot brake calipers with shoes, £10

Or take the whole lot for £30. I'll give priority to anyone taking the whole lot.
All prices include postage.

Price drop: £150

Any interest or offers before I am forced to take this piece of late 80s magnificence to the 'bay?

The frame is still available, yep.
Rear dropout width is 126mm.

In terms of sizing, the seat tube measured Centre to Top (like the diagramme above) is 600mm, give or take. The top tube is 580mm, so its definitely a 60cm according to the diagramme.

I measure all my bikes CtC, hence the thread title - and its the first time I have seen that geo chart, so thanks for posting it.

Well, it turns out you can fit a 28mm in both front and rear - Clement Strada LLG was the one I had available, and I'll stick in a photo or three, but there's about 3-4mm at the chainstay, and 2-3mm at the fork.
Yes, its standard 365mm axle to crown. I did consider getting a pair of the older Peugeot chrome forks; the ones with the external lug have a good deal more space between the blades for wider tyres.

Aw, thanks. Its lovely in summer. But the lane to get up here is a b!tch with a standard chainset. Compact all the way for me now...

I'll try again with a photo...

1989 Peugeot 753 Chorus frame, fork and Stronglight headset. Its straight, with no dents or damage, although there are numerous chips in the paint.

The seat tube is 585mm CTC and the top tube 580mm. Head tube is 174mm. Its a little too big for me. Normally I am on a 56.

It has clearance for 25mm tyres, and plenty of room for more at the back - but the fork is narrower, and 25mm is about the limit.

I have little stuff to build it up with (seat post is 26.4, for example, so you may want that, quill stem and bars, etc). I don't have any Chorus, though - the bike was dressed awkwardly in Shimano when I picked it up!

I'm looking for £150 posted. I'm based near Halifax, in the frozen north. Collection welcome, or I might be able to get to Manchester/Leeds or thereabouts.

2nd dibs on the Rotor 3D24 please... I've been looking for one for ages.

PM incoming...

I'll take the seatpost please!

Unusual, but would suit my legs and aspirations at the moment :-)
Will PM

I'll take them off you. Will PM

God, I'm loving the orange. will PM

I'm interested in the Brooks... let me pm

Gumwall is most definitely in the ascendancy in my world... I'll PM if these aren't taken?

Would love these but am not near N15 -can I bribe you into posting?!

Think that looks like what I am after - PM coming your way
