  • I'll donate the infamous Beagle wheel for this!

    If the crank axle is still good, just get a new bb for it, I'll pay.

  • Crank axle is rusty (not just surface); and all the hex bits eaten away. truly gone.

    I have a square taper bb that that boy who fell in the canal gave me. So if it fits I ll fit it (with plenty of grease).

    I'm very excited about the beagle wheel. (I'm away tomorrow until Sunday. I ll text you when I'm back.)

  • 700c?

    Might have a wheel with a large freewheel I can't remove...

  • Yep 700c
    Wheel with freewheel sounds perfect :) excellent

  • Blimey, that frame has lived a bit.

  • Yes.... The other one that was binned was in much better condition :-( but maybe it can serve a little longer

  • @io what's the seatpost diameter? I remember they were a slightly odd size - maybe I have a spare one in the parts box.

  • Hey I didn't measure, and I'm out of London right now. I ll check tomorrow and let you know

  • Looks like 28.6 mm seat post and 31.8 mm seat clamp. Does this sound right @Chukker_Dredd

  • I've got some crappy metal bars and a MTB lever if you still need too? When you next playing?

  • Hey,

    Yes to the bars and lever! That would be great. Big thanks!
    I will be there at the Saturday league thing. (This week my timetable is unpredictable - working on a film; one day things finish at 3:30 and another at 9:30pm :-/ I'll let you know If I manage to come down.
    Thanks again for all the parts :)

  • I have cranks for this @io. Wanna drop by and see what else is in the parts bin that might be useful?

  • I'll bring the Beagle wheel! :D
