Starting this up again after a year of it languishing in my cupboard.

Just added Frogglegs. They actually might work on the insane 55mm narrow brake posts. Next stop Mafac if not.

Got an old Mavic 500 wheelset on there with a 6 speed freewheel. I would like to see if an 8 speed would fit. I definitely need low gearing, as I am crap on hills.

Similarly, old XT triple on there, hopefully I can get a BB that will let me use this. Would gladly take suggestions for other cranks tho.

I am thinking I will go with drops, 8 speed bar end shifters, and simple brake levers. All of which I'll need to find...

Tan wall CX tyres too ofc.

I'm a sucker for old cross bikes. Most definitely subbed to this.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
