Any question answered...

I'd ride that over a Ridgeback hybrid any day. So long as I wasn't in a hurry.

Yeah, that's understandable, but I was mainly concerned about some reported issues of the 1/8" chainplates rubbing on the body of the freewheel on a white industries ENO.

No legal proceedings? But father of famous cyclist about to compete. No others?

And another one...thomson layback on a roadbike? yay or nay?

Nay. There are approximately 94 different layback posts which are either cheaper or lighter or both, and every single one of them is better looking.

Awesome, just what I wanted to hear. So what would be a good option for a matching stem/post? Was thinking zipp service course SL, any other contenders?

I done some road writing in Cambridge before the Tour stage last year. The po po went by and only checked I wasn't writing anything rude. I did it in emulsion with some extra talc and it wore off in a week or so.

Some other people's work is still visible 9 months on.

any other contenders?

Pro, Ritchey, Deda.

That's because they were doing something more fun than watching paint dry.

Richmond / Kingston, and deepish section crabon.

Ta - I'll give them a shout.

How long has a unicorn been on the front of a British passport?

Wiki says that the Royal Crest was adopted in 1837. so "bloomin ages" is probably the answer . Certainly since 1924

It's the national animal of scotland. England gets the grinning lion

Which is also why it's in chains!

I think she says in her book that they let him go and that too much was made of it in the press, but I can't remember the details. As painting on the road generally seems to be permitted, I think this was probably a total one-off.

Looks like George i in 1914 was the first to have it on their arms.

Guess it depends on number of teeth, and possibly how much the movement annoys you, but not a problem with 18 or 19 tooth ones.
The chain will be able to move from side to side, which I found slightly annoying... I guess different chains could cause problems?
Why have a 1/8th chain anyway? Think of the weight saving (rotational weight too).

Even ignoring the typo, not by a long way, all the James' had it too.

Mainly due to having a 1/8" chainring up front...in a difficult 135BCD size too. I think Gebhardt do 3/32 chainrings in that BCD size but they are hard to find. Running a 48 up front and am considering going 48 or 49 with 17, 18 or 19t rear freewheel (still need to decide a ratio so might use some cheapie shimano freewheels.

Would different brands move less? I understand that the distance between the inside plates is the same, but I wonder if the plate shape of different brands would affect chain lateral movement on the freewheel teeth.

Ultimately, the ideal solution is a 3/32 ring and chain as you say.
