coming days Look KG243
Looking forward to seeing this

@bjj22 - and here it is:

beauty, I sold a similar frame set a while back, sadly blighted by the same chrome/paint dropping issues as some 90's Colnagos though

Thanks, @saarf , I think it's one of the lightest steel frames I have. I read about the problems with paint changing colour but didn't know theu had some chrome issues too.

nice one mate, what I mean by chrome issue is , like eg a 90's Master, paint was applied on top of chrome, the paint can flake away from the frame in these areas, the paint is , again like a master, like a shell

That way. I have this problem indeed on a 1998 Master Extra Light but also on my Gios Compact Evolution.

must have been a change in process, 80's and some early 90's are fine

I can only see a photo of a dog, apparently named "BOR"...

I give up. Here it is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mr64stnb98c5cds/IMG_1189.JPG?dl=0

fwiw, I'm seeing the look in the earlier posts:)

And a second one I kinda finished today. I added some more Dura Ace 7400 parts: seatpost, front derailleur, headset and wheelset. Now only missing brake levers.

Hope it's not a dog again. ;-)

It's a nag, which is probably even worse.

New bargain mtb
Pretty much saw Borek post his and 2 days later i decided i wanted to buy one, so i did.

Awesome, how is it?

How much of a bargain?

£300 new.

Good price, cheap enough to fuck it up without much concern.

If you like it, future upgrade is just some cheap Shimano hydraulic disc brakeset.

Can't fault it really, barely need to change anything on it, 650b feels very right

Yeah also i probably won't get to use it that often, so i didn't want to spend loads.

It comes with Hayes hydraulic disc, feel pretty good to me

Oh it come with hydraulic already? even better!

That's the thing about MTB, it's not as straightforward to take it out as you would a road bicycle on a road.

They came already set up to.

it takes me about 2 hours to get anywhere thats actually made for a mtb, but i got the canal and some dog walker type places out side of town i can use it on.

Can anyone recommend a good, inexpensive 144 bcd chainring in 3/32 for single speed use? Looking for a 44-46 tooth, preferably silver.

Velosolo have a 44T SR in 144mm/3/32"
