Should be fine, just email them saying you are first buyer and lost receipt or something .. they will replace. I've had 2 replaced like that.

Cut away all the cracked carbon to make it a flow model.
If you make a nice clean cut you will prevent the cracks from developing further.

Dremmel along the lines of the cut out, sanding down the edges, epoxy to the edges and then sanding it down smooth again would be an interesting try. But then I have no experience with cutting or reparing carbon...

Looking decent mate. Will you be just firing clear coat straight on top or wet sanding with 800 paper before coating? Just wondering as I'll be tackling stencil spraying this week and debating whether to sand or not.

Bro - do you even honesty?

@josh careful now - reminds me of Peter Kay's bit about the deckchair.

I bought them from a shop just didn't have the receipts .. one of them was from Kinoko before they closed.

How the hell have you cracked two new carbon saddles?

I think it was a known fault also they are not carbon.

3x nos, pornworthy wheelset coming soon

schweet. 2 700cs? I've got a lonely front rim I want to match up.

Let me know if there were any 600c / 24" ones where you found these...

I've been thinking about building up a touring specific bike for a while and have yet to move beyond DT shifters. Must haves:

• Stiff rear triangle for BOB trailer
  
• Mudguards
  
• Big tyres (38-42)
  
• Modern-ish groupset
  Any thoughts on this? Could look good with the chromed stays and polished SS mudguards http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-steel-Bob-Jackson-Super-Tourist-Frame-23-1-2-/162082660552?hash=item25bce120c8:g:mREAAOSwY0lXRbGQ

@HHC 1x 700c and 2x 650c. I'm selling one of the 650's and using the other 2 so no spare 700c I'm afraid

@scorch Pretty sure this is all he had. Can you even get them in 24"?

Yes made in three sizes - 700, 650, 600c
Never seen one tho :)

aye

Weird, ratty and cheap materials. But says Bianchi and has horizontal dropouts hmm

Going to fit a coaster brake wheel on this.

It'll make a mess of your frame, you want something like a bit of innertube between the cage and the frame.

is that one of them sick old langsters?

I know man. This was really just an emergency solution thrown together for today. I had two of these with an inner tube underneath before which worked ok. Made a mess of the cage and bottles though, still better than the frame.

It's the 2010 steel model

First ever bike build. Loved it, now just planning on how to upgrade the wheels and where else I can waste my hard earned money!
