Just need to find someone now who is a wizard with Osgear to put it
all together.The installation of the Osgear is straightforward. I have one on my Hobbs.
I will PM you with the details.
The original owner of mine said not to worry about the cable to the tension arm, as it didn't do much. When changing gears you need to overshift and then place the lever into the hole.
BigBlock-
Thanks @Big_Block, that article is very comprehensive. Just realised that when I went to dry build the bike last night, I had made the school boy error of 27mm bars with a 25. 4mm stem dia and also the wrong sized seatpost (but I kind of knew this already). I've contacted Hillary Stone and should have a nice titan stem and reynolds r5 seatpost in the mail soon.

stopwatch or conventional pocket watch?>
Pretty sure I'll go for a pocket watch. Not sure it would take a full stop watch. Thanks for the suggestions I'll take a look.
In other news, Steve, that you put me in touch with from the VCC came up with some tyres which I collected this evening.
Whilst I was there, I also picked up some more 'shed fresh' stuff - a Coloral (down or seat tube bottle holder), some Chossy straps (from a shop in Portsmouth ) and a really nice, lightweight bell which makes a great sound.
Just need to find someone now who is a wizard with Osgear to put it all together. Steve is going to ask some people he knows and come up with some suggestions.
