Any question answered...

Can you ream it to 27.2? otherwise got a black nitto 65 in 27.2 with the logos filled in white.

Tx, I personally can't, I doubt anyone in Belfast can, but let me phone around.

There's always Ritchey new ones, or deore XT if stuck, but I like the S65 :)

Go see Dave Kane, he'll know what you're on about and if his shop can't, he'll know who will.

That is of course if he's still around.

He is actually!

I regularly see cyclists in his jerseys going around East Belfast. Also spotted a handcycle with his name on it.

Ask him and I'll send the seatpost over, barely used too.

Tx waiting for a reply :)

There's chainreaction too if he can't do it.

Ok thanks - would titanium be a better option do you think?

@blokeridingpastonmywaytowork: Why is your rucksack playing music while you ride down the Old Kent Road? Who are you, fucking Radio Raheem?

Just trying to do the right thing.

Has anyone got some v brake mounting bolts kicking about? I need 4.

You mean these?

There was also a shop on the Ormeau Road by the bridge that was fairly decent to me when I was there.

Edit: McConvey's

Still there too ^=^

CRC on Boucher road also has a workshop, mechanics are a friendly bunch.

I left before CRC opened I think. Only thing I went to Boucher Road for was B&Q when something in our shitty houses on Ashley Ave or Dunluce Ave broke.

There was also a dude in one of those shops behind Castle Court. Got my first new bike through him. I think his name was Austin. Not even sure if those shops are still even there. He was cool, would order in anything. Pre-easy internet shopping days.

What's the going rate for a decent-ish 2000/2001 vintage Shimano groupset?

Stupidly bought myself that Koga FullPro Oval (without calculating build cost), and trying to work out if I go rat or good build.

When's the forums' birthday, and how old will it be?

Snap.

I think we should, for the 10th anniversary, build fixie bieks which we would have built in 2007 if we had the time/money/knowledge/tools.

I'm thinking tri-spokes, NJS, much hip-hop-slavery etc.

You really don't want to know what Ed would have built with his 2007 knowledge and loadsamoney, though. :)

We are a broad church Oliver. I would hope that 14 months of lead time would enable me to find the Sugino tension disc that I have in mind for mine, amongst other abominations I would inflict upon my "back to '07" build.

2007? I'd have some fugly bmx...

Feb 2007 I bought an OTP Condor Tempo. Still riding it (albeit an insurance replacement) as my only fixed biek.
