Been trying to figure out how to install U-brakes on the front for my All City Dropout. I got 2 of these:
https://shop.odysseybmx.com/collections/odyssey-braking/products/springfield-brake-kit

and was looking at this adapter:
https://www.sourcebmx.com/products/odyssey-front-brake-springfield-adaptor

but it's sold out and haven't found any other retailers.

I tried an EVO 2.5 front brake adaptor but that's too wide and doesn't fit the arms.

Any tips if there's a well-functioning bootleg way to make it work as a frontbrake? Would a steerer-mounted canti hanger like this work?

Also happy to hear alternatives what I could mount, long-drop dual pivot doesn't work, there's no brakehole, so has to be U-brakes.

still available, if you bring a suitcase it should be more than doable - whole thing weighs like ~10-15 kilos and can be nicely de-assembled, happy to provide some bubble wrap and such to help packing it up

Thinking about adding brakes to my All City Dropout, the fork has the studs but on the rear it's just the mounts and I don't have the studs.

From their documentation, they say they "spec the Fly Bikes studs" for the Dropout, but a bit unsure which one they refer to.

So any help regarding BMX studs for the All City Dropout would really be appreciated!

Very pretty bike!!

What's the tyre clearance? Would 25s fit?

doubletrack, framebag, bagaboo sold

happy to let the yalta go for a forum donation

podsacs sold!

Sold, thanks Jimmy!!

The core pole consists of 3 long pieces, if you remove the top one you can use 2 bike mounts and that'd be 140cm tall, if you add the third long piece then there's enough room for all 3 hooks to go on, that measures 200cm, but likely the saddle of the bike on the tallest hook will reach higher than that.

A pic from when it was built up with a rack, and the white-blue paintjob you'd expect under the current coating.

Got this frame new just when Covid started to do some spray.bike things on it, did a white-blue graphic on it first, then a Boba Fett kind of stuff second.

Definitely not spotless, few chips, paintjob isn't perfect and overdid the glitter for the "galactic camo" effect on the rear triangle, resulting in a bit of overflow.

Structurally, it's a perfect Dolan Pre Cursa, you can use it as it is, sand it down and paint over, sandblast it and keep it raw, or have it as display. I'll dig out my spray.bike leftover sprays to include with the purchase if you want, must have like 5+ cans with quite a bit left, so you can practice some spraying - it's really really good fun!

Looking for £100, collected from London, Imperial War Museum

Got this when everyone in my houseshare cycled, now it' sonly me and I might move out anyways so this should go to a new home.

Haven't found much on the model, it's very heavy & sturdy, quite comfortable for 4 bikes.

Looking for £50, got it for more and quite a bit of extra postage back in Lockdown Numero Uno, I think it's a lot of value for the price.

Ideally collected from London, Imperial War Museum - can be de-assembled so should fit in the rear of a car easily.

Also found this framebag, I have no idea what make it is or how I got it, free with any purchase.

Got too many bags and not enough reasons to use them

CHROME Doubletrack Handlebar Bag 5L - £SOLD
Used less than 10 times, mainly off-bike, good little general pouch/fannypack or handlebar bag.

CHROME Yalta 1.0 White Leather - £2o
1st edition, a few scuffs but still a bombproof bag for all kinds of needs.

BAGABOO Workhorse XL Grey/Blue - £SOLD
Splendid condition, was one of my 3 main bags for a few years but probably the least used. Circa 40L capacity, custom-ordered from Bagaboo with extras like padded back, compression strap and key clip.

PODSACS Bikepacking Set - £SOLD
Got it from Planet X during the pandemic and didn't end up using them at all, tags still on each item. Set consists of framebag & saddlebag & handlebar bag.

Collection from London (Imperial War Museum or sometimes Dalston Junction), I could look into posting

dropped price

A little bootleg build, but liking it a lot. Retro mtbs are way more fun than I thought!

prices dropped, added a new wheelset, anything with £beer is free really as I kind of stopped drinking

Howdy, sold

New job, lots of travelling, busy schedule etc... so unfortunately barely riding this machine and should go to a better home.

Looking for £1100, collected from London

Uploading an older pic for now, will take new ones after I did minor servicing and cleaning.

this is so rad

just checking, this seems legit right?

AFAIK only v4 didn't have the wishbone-kind of rear so this must be that?

Bump, what’s the scene in more central-ish London now for sandblasting only?

Had a few iterations of spray.bike designs on my dolan (it’s tremendous fun) but never did a good enough job of sanding the frame myself and the next designs requires it quite neat.

Also pmd

Dropped some prices, some items sold
Feel free to dm with offers, I think though most of the items will go on the bay when I'll have time

added some items (easton stem, velo orange bar, brakeless hoods, time atacs)

Apologies forumengers, a mix of bad mental health and overworking made me be off the forum recently.

Bumping the thread, dropped the prices, and will add new items when it gets sunny. Got some Time Atacs, track wheels and other bits I think.

Happy 2022 y'all btw!
