nice touring bike ;)

that rubs lightly at certain wheel positions

true your wheel?

which size is that?

do want

I want to touch your lathe.

50cm (smallest), not really into the sloping top tube but it was cheap.

The lathe's great for a "Chinese piece of shit"

So a question:
Tester made some lockrings to use with BB tool, can somebody link me to thread or alternative.
As I have ellipse's again need a lockring that isn't made from cheese.
Thanks

Has he actually made some? Thought they hadn't gone past an 'interest' list yet.

Need a new fork to replace the ugly boat anchor and I'm looking for ideas.

Stylish, light, stiff and cheap, I want it all.

Stylish, light, stiff and cheap

Choose one, otherwise it's Chinese for you.

Only one? Guess I'll go for stylishly light.

Easton EC90SL seems to be the benchmark (the earlier ones look ok), but I've read they're rather noodly.

I love those alu specialized frames. Something very right about them.

In the US they sold them in two fit types. i.e. you could get them with a smaller headtube.

A friend has had one (US version) for years and loves it.

Summer's coming to an end so I put my beater back together once again for the winter.

Does anyone have a 110mm -17 degree stem?

@Woodster sort it out; go Enve

I am after this too if anyone has 2 ;)

this is the alan i haz saved, had cleaned up drop outs

the dt shifter missing the bolt tube bit

is a later alan, circa 85-86, would like to use triomphe and 8 speed shifters, will leave un decal'd as a low key number round london's london
rear pacing seems just under 130mm, so i'z got fingers crossed i can slot in an 8 speed hub

That's not a beater.

why not?

Nelson has had a change of components and i am so very nearly happy, want a set of mavic ellipse.

It completely is. The previous owner left it in a real state - seat post hacked too short left zero support leading to a developing crack below the seat cluster lug, the steel stem has probably been hammered in there and is totally stuck, below it a slowly failing headset with no easy way to replace. It's a beater. It also rides wonderfully so it's got that going.

picked this frame up the other day for a slow build, its a 650c front so am currently looking for a wheel :(

also what parts would people recommend for this bike? crankset wise i think im going to put my tevano pista cranks on with a 51 tooth zen but not sure what seatpost/saddle or which stem. i know im going to put risers on it, already have a 24 inch lopro with proper bullhorns
