Renewable energy is the conversion of energy that has arrived recently on the planet from the sun and converting it to electricity/heat. Essentially neutral when considering Global Warming as it is all energy that would end up as heat (molecular vibration) anyway.

Fossil fuel burning not only produces heat from solar energy that arrived on the planet millions of years ago but with a much more significant effect produces greenhouse gases that reduce the heat radiation away from Earth so the ratio of heat gain (from the sun) and heat loss (to space) becomes imbalanced.

Suitable for post mount disc brakes. BB shell is BB86, currently fitted with bearings suitable for a 30mm spindle crank. One bearing feels a bit rough. Headset feels good.
QR dropouts, 100mm and 135mm OLN. P-clip for securing front brake cable is nearly broken but any loop/tab with a hole in could be used instead.
A few bits of scuffed paint as shown in the photos. Removable "braze-on" front mech hanger. First photo on second post shows chainstay clearance with a 700c tyre measuring 41mm wide.

First race on SS and first race on this frame. Previously occassional geared racer. Really loved it and don't feel I was any worse off for not having gears at my level. Fortunately the ice/snow melted to mud otherwise I might have been under-geared.

Meticulously packaged frameset just received, thanks! It even came with the original spare parts bag :)

Thanks to @grm for a brilliant transaction including postage. Wouldn't hesitate to do business again.

Interested in frameset if you split but I'm in Bristol.

Thanks, will probably leave in that case, already have some old narrow rim'd wheels.

RE: Vision Trimax 30
Cannot seem to find details on this model and assume it might be different to the current model, could you measure rim width, internal and external? Also what is the brake track like. Thanks

Looking at the BBC report (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-br­istol-58649650) it would look like the incident happened on the corner of Tyndall’s Park Road and Elmdale Road. The 2 photos on the report show Tyndall's Park Road looking towards the junction with Elmdale Road, one from each direction. In the second photo you can just make out an ambulance and other vehicles. Witness' comments seem to confirm this.

I made something similar, but less adaptable, by hand bending 8mm di. steel bar to hold a handlebar roll away from an exposed canti brake cable. Got the idea from here:

Need to sort steerer extender but otherwise done.

Thanks for the dims, unfortunately that will affect my geo too much.

Hi, any update on the fork dimensions? Not too worried about weight, just:

1. axle to crown length
   
2. rake
   
3. steerer length
   

Marin Sausalito 1994 20.5" - make a decent steel town bike - pickup only Richmond

OK thanks. Still interested as it would be replacing a threaded fork plus steerer extender combo which is just over a kilogram in total.

26" touring fork, 1 1/8th threadless, canti studs. 35mm rake, iirc.

Possibly interested if you can post. Could you confirm:

1. axle to crown length
   
2. rake
   
3. steerer length
   
4. weight
