hahahaha, they are very hipster like, just looking for something to get me to and from work and out and about round the doors, and il be running breaks too cant put too much strain on my hip now unfortunately

decided to start riding fixed again after stopping for a few years due to a pretty nasty hip injury. so first things first i need a new bike. i used to ride an old colnago and have decided i want something a bit newer that wont break the bank, ive got around £500 to spend and would prefer a complete rather than searching for parts to build a custom.
been thinking about maybe a quella one, what do yous lot think?

austin.

never seen a holes in the lug itself seen them hundreds of times on the tubing though, for which i suspect as you said is for draining any moisture, having said that any moister inside wont escape from that hole as its near the top, so i couldnt see much harm from filling it in.

dont think id trust those foldy locks at all

my eyes hurt

has any body got a cyclocross style brake lever .normal clamp size, what ever that maybe.

so you finish in south shields at 8? do yous stick around south shields much like around gypsies green?

when and where do people meet in south shields i live right on the finish line. what times do yous usually enter shields?

austin

thinking about selling my colnago mexico/saronni, just enquiring as to what offers i may get. i will shortly post images and measurements

not that its any use to you but WOW i havent seen such a nice bike in a long time

hey thinking about coming to polo hopefully on wednsday if anyone else is going. but since i live in south shields i am hoping to store my bike in a garage my dad has in town and then get the metro up. his grage is to the rear of heaton road is there anyone who goes to polo that rides from there or through there i could maybe meet and ride over with as i dont have the foggiest on how to get there.
thanks, austin

haha excellent man thanks. sorry to keep you up in the early hours of the morning researching bike info for me.

yeah it is.
ive tried everything i even thought about filing the inside of the crank arm down. seriously man thanks alot for the help and advice saved me alot of time and hassle and now i have someone to blame if it all goes horribly wrong haha

its sealed matey

ive got a cheap campag italian thread bottom bracket in my colnago. the problem is my cranks wont fit properly they fit but if i tighten them just a tad too much they rub on the bb cup and if i loosten it a tad it just comes loose and falls off, so ive took off my cranks and swithched them over (put the right crank on the left side and vice verser). so my question is if i removed the bottom bracket and put it in the WRONG way round would it cause any damage to the frame/bottom bracket

hey man im in nead of an italian bottom bracket any one have anything i can nick or buy? also a bit of a strange one. but might anyone have a seat clamp bolt campagnolo style and those adjuster screws that go in the end of the dropouts

finally got the pictures of the tandem like i said it needs alot of TLC and would make a fantastic project.

i suppose your right like thanks for the advice mate i think id end up switching back to my colnago anyways if i did get it.

didnt know were else to post this. im currently considering buying a new frame ive got my eyes on a nice project its only a cheapish gary fisher frame and hes only after pennies for it. the problem is its a 52 i currently ride a 56 which is comfortable. would this be too big a leap in sizes? the only real reason i want it is because its a 1.1/8th frame and id prefer something a bit more sturdy than my colnago. and of course the toss up between elegant colnago fast road beauty or a ruggid gary fisher street machine???
what should i do??

got 70mm but thats my measuring so could swing either way.
sorry phil doubt this will at all help i just got excited at the chance of joing in haha

christ wasnt expecting replys so soon, il get photos tommorow for sure. like i said its very old and the frames wierd like really stange bottom brackets but still sound. and no the wheels shouldnt need replacing and i belive there 27"s. like i said il post photos and pictures and info on what needs replacing

hey, doing a clear out of the garden and i need to sell my tandem. its very old, has two knackered brooks saddles, a really wierd brakeset that will need replacing it has no markings that indicate make/brand just a gold sticker that looks like its been made recently it simply says "the excel" im not looking for much at all it needs alot of work and TLC oh and it also has horizontal dropouts so it could be made fixed/singlespeed. will post photos shortly

might do like phil. big problem is ive just come out of hospital with a blood and bone infection the bone infection was located right in deep in my hip so riding is really difficult let alone trying to stop or slow down i suppose i could fit a brake but i dont wanna ruin my gold rim haha. been contimplating running freewheel for now with my front brake on abut. the skid comp would defentiley be out of the question ha. but yeah i might do how many people usely show up? i know a lad who would come providing he can get his mits on a back wheel.

hey, dont how well this will pan out but anyways.
dont know if anyone on here does any fishing but i though it would be a good laugh if a few riders fancied going fishing at maybes south shields pier? lots of fish and easy to catch. and of course to bring the usual bikes and beers. never really been to any events but im sure ive probably met a few of you.

aaaahhhhh bit late on the penny dropping. im a bit dyslexic when it comes to this stuff haha sorry to upset the punctuation police.
(and please try not to point out the irony if ive ballsed up the punctuation again)
