Any question answered...

That cable adjustment tool is neat!

Ellis Brigham in Covent Garden.

There are other similar mountain shops nearby too.

I feel like a bit of a twit asking this, but I'm looking for people who were involved in the techno and house music scene in the 80s and 90s, and I thought I'd try here. If anyone was involved or knows someone who was involved in any level of the rave scene, including those who went to a few parties, I'd love to buy them a beer or coffee and chat. If you do know anyone I'd really appreciate it if you could ask them to contact me - cheers

Trying to piece together some memories?

@ACRe19

Lots of people on the house and techno threads could help out

Those were some good days I can't remember :-)

Anyone know anywhere in London that I can purchase the rack ears?

(the stuff used in 19" racks for music equipment/computer gear)

Maybe something here

How could I have forgotten these guys?! Thanks

Shimano Ultegra upwards.

Not sure what bcd you need but this kind of thing...

On one inbred with ss dropouts are they 120mm or 135mm?

Without checking I will bet my good eye on 135.

Anything with a rear disc mount will be at least 135mm.

A friend has offered me a frame as he will move house in a couple of weeks and wants to cut down on stuff so trying to figure how much building it up will set me back.

Probably because they're not in London. :)

bar tape like this? (but black)

It does say Northants on their web-site. :)

Not after a complete abs rack case by any chance? About 10u, deep enough to house a cabled S5000?

Why would there be jars attached to the underside of my living room floor boards?

1 Attachment

are they readily reachable?

jars with their lids screwed to the underside of something is a recognised way of storing small quantities of useful things like nails and screws.

Readily reachable and above a worktop in the cellar but there are cupboards underneath the worktop and straight in front of you if you were stood beneath the jars.

But I suppose perhaps the jars may have been there longer than the cupboards and work tops.

because magnets

Those are load bearing jars. Don't open them.

Large number of small compartments with sorted contents immediately visible and not behind / under other useful stuff. Old school solution to workshop organization - fails when your hands are cold and you drop the jar, hence more lids than jars. Been there, done that, replaced jars with plastic organizer cupboards which are safer but somehow less satisfying than a 'free' system that can be expanded until storage area = floor area without filling the floor.
