Glad we could swap, @-cv-

hmm bottom external cup and top integrated headset?

Its an old headset, was 1' threaded

I have a threadless ritchey logic to go on

Sat with wheels (with 23c ultrasports) on, got 25c tyres to go on it, clearance should be stupidly tight though.

Damn!

Very nice.
Dave Russel frames are always classy

yes, you are right! I really felt in love how this frame build :)

@853Superfly you can get little 3-prong extractors for broken taps. Never used one but I know they exist. Have a look what Cromwell do and decide if you can get away with a cheap eBay one...

holy shit, thats exactly what i need. Brilliant!

Oops, meant to tag you in that post, not 853Superfly!

Mate we need the close up of the rear brake bridge - it looks so good

Nearly done, just need one more chain link for more clearance, time atac, and some mud on it !!

Eventually a 42 chainring (44x18 at the moment)

Probably the nicest Work I've seen.

Sweet purp. Not sure about the orange though.
All round rad

I love that Work. Can you still buy the frameset? I don't need one or have any use for one. Or space. Or money.

Loving the purple paul!
Good looking bike.

Thanks for the options, all. I was already thinking that re-spacing the rear might be the best option. With this in mind, does anyone have a recommendation for a wheel set with hubs that will fit the bill and rims that will take a brake and have an ID of >17mm?

Incidentally, the little one will be on the top tube (Weeride) rather than over the rear wheel, but I'm a fairly big unit so I'd appreciate the strength in any case.

You sir, have an impeccable taste in bikes!

^^ Agreed, that's a really nice bike!

@Jonny69 i know you mis-tagged me.

Never knew those extractors exisited, learnt something new myself :) excellent info.

BLB free wheel? They're crap due to their cheap construction. Already seen no less than 4 start skipping after less than a month.

Go White Industries and never look back!

I killed 3 too :)

Thx all, that's a long time project ending..

@PhilDAS Yeah I got the mango pewter before getting the purple component, I reckon it's a bit much, should switch for a black or silver TI king..

But in the futur, purple ensemble may move on the Gangsta so..

@coventry_eagle it isn't a BLB, it works at the moment, but yes, a WI will be much nicer..
Maybe something cheaper can be find in the BMX world
