I've got a few weekend expeditions in mind on the fixed and could do with a rack to strap a sleeping bag, coat, and bivvy to. The forks aren't drilled (keirin frame). Does anyone know what's out there for this? Probably something that bolts to the hubs and attaches to the bars. There may be a thread about this in which case I'd be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction. Or has anyone had a go doing one themselves?

Thanks for the intel! I think I'll treat myself this weekend. Will look out for the Growing Communities gang as well.

Has anyone else heard of the Global Fusion creole bakery? I came across them at a market in Oxford in November and in spite of my best efforts to track them in London (where they claim to be based) the search has so far been fruitless. They were insanely good value and the cakes were delicious. £4 for a large banana and chocolate loaf... need I say more? Any pointers would be hugely appreciated.

Nailed it. Thanks mate, I'll find a spare caliper for the sake of a photo.

I'm sure I've seen a thread here before that would answer this question so if you know where it is, please point me in the right direction.

I was involved in an accident (not my fault) with another cyclist, and damaged my bike. I ride brakeless and just thought I'd ask this question before sending a picture of the bike to the insurers in case they say that they won't cover me as I'm not running a front brake (my frame isn't drilled for brakes anyway).

I think I heard once that if you have a lock ring then you're fine to ride brakeless in the UK. But a quick Google search just said that in fact, I have not been riding legally. What's the deal?

Agree, I'm interested but not when I can get it cheaper (and brand new) elsewhere.

Bump?

As in the title, I've got a brand new set of Shimano SPD-SL yellow cleats that came with a new set of pedals. I use the red ones (no float) so I'm open to swaps if anyone has reds. Otherwise I'm after a tenner for them. Can meet around London or post at buyer's expense (which I think is about £2.80).

SOLD

Thanks mate, it would be a FC-7600 144 BCD crank.

That's right, I'm on the look out for a single non-drive-side crank arm. I stripped about 1/4 of the pedal thread on my current one. I have had it re-tapped and the pedal locked in with loctite. This should be alright and I've got my fingers crossed. However, I'd be more comfortable on a un-damaged crank.

If anyone has a Dura Ace left crank arm, 167.5mm and square taper hit me up!

Interested. Can you post a pic of them weighed on scales?

Not if he drops them both to the left.

Bumped the BB.

Can't post the unbranded cog pic atm. Will try again later.

Just a few bits that I'm not using anymore and offend the minimalist within:

1. Shimano Bottom Bracket

   • Square taper
     
   • Sealed
     
   • English thread
     
   • 68x107mm
     
   • Has had moderate use for 3 months after being used to replace a Sugino 75.
     
   • £10
     
     

2. 17t Miche cog SOLD

   • 3/32" track sprocket
     
   • Two parts (means the external sprocket can be changed without the chain-whip hassle)
     
   • Has had light use.
     
     

3. 16t unbranded cog

   • Brand new. Black anodised.
     
   • £flapjack
     
     

I can meet/deliver (within reason) within London or post at buyer's expense. Fulham-based. Message for questions/offers.

I considered them when I was building but the Nitto bars curve into the drops too soon for my liking. I prefer a good flat section around the clamp sleeve so found some old Italmanubris that do the job fine.

I know that most folks prefer the drops to be parallel with the ground. I might try this, as you say, but find it really comfortable atm and also I like the look of the drops following the angle of the stem!

Wanted to share this months ago but couldn't upload the good photos as they were too large. Hope these come out alright:

Long shot but if you still have these I'll take them!

I'll have the pedals if you'd split?
