Current Projects chat and miscellany

I contacted AlpKit through their website and asked if they had any. £35. I think they'll deliver them but my Dad lives down the road so I had him collect them instead. Apparently they've got loads.

Whaaaat. They told me they'd run out when I asked a couple of weeks ago

Really? Did you need them posting too? Maybe they're not keen on posting? Contact them again and see if they'll let you collect them. If they're ok with that I'll get my Dad to get some for you. He's round that way fairly regularly. Might be a bit of a faff posting (so may have to wait until I next visit to collect them, I'm up in July - plus he's a bit lazy so may not get around to posting). If not I'm happy to call in myself and ask.

Just looked back through my emails and he collected mine early Feb. I've just only recently fitted them.

Hmm, maybe they really have run out. Will check with them again. Some wanker's reselling them on eBay for £110, which can get to fuck

They ran out.

Where's the other one?

Wasn't mine so back to it's owner. ;)

Finished some projects today:

1) a Colner 1974 "Team Ijsboerke"
2) rebuilding my Corsa Extra (changing to an era correct Croce d'Aune)
3) rebuilding an Olmo Competition (changing the Nuovo Gran Sport for a Nuovo Record)

Nice, I found a similar colner (unfortunately no ijsboerke) a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately the frame was too small for me so I sold it to a guy who seemed nice but when he came to pick it up, he arrived on a bike that could have been straight out of the AP thread and he told me that he would get the frame powdercoated. I was tempted not to sell him the frame but he was already there and seemed genuinely excited about the frame. Feels bad though... RIP patina.

O no, kidnap the guy and brainwash him. Twice if necessary...

Mine is a respray but he original bikehad the same colour. Even the groupset (Record) is from the original year (1974, the same year Ijsboerke rode these bikes).

It's for sale if you're interested. ;-)

I made an effort to convince him that a re-spray would take the frame's character and decrease the value but he was convinced that it was a good idea. I think mine was around '73 as well, it had the pat. 73 nuovo record derailleur and most of the group on it. Cheers for the offer but I'm not interested, I'm glad I'm back to single digits since I sold the Colner. How is the down-sizing of the collection working out for you? ;)

Not working. :)

Might be interested in the cranks if you still have them?

Quick update on post #114140

This shit:

Is shit.

I am going to win this war.

How are you going to win the war, I've in the same position.

M200 was the very very low end of the mtb's. Probably STX groupset or something. But if you like it, 120 € isn't that of a deal, no?

yer not big deal but not sure to have money to lose now...

I wouldn't buy it either. ;-)

have had this one for 150 ; )

Thats more like it. Beast of the East?
