deep carbon would look good..

it would appear the diameter of the Bottom bracket shell is too wide by a mm or 2- 35mm diameter it would appear

Sounds like you're trying to put a 1.37" ISO cup into a 36mm Italian shell.
You can easily buy Italian thread BBs for your Chorus cranks,so it's not the end of the world

yep, that seem's to be the popular opinion, so now off to buy Italian threaded version....

It worked! Thanks!!

Dat colours!

That's fire!

I was watching that but couldn't justify it, 330 is a bargin though nice work!

Bit of a bargain you got there.

Parts bin. Total outlay today £0. Magic gear. Dadbike? Rat?

Radadratbike. Looks fun.

Quite the parts bin you've got!

I really like the combination of the yellow frame and white fork

Thanks, 15 yrs of rarely selling anything. Until recently. Had a look at what I had left from a significant cull, and accidentally made this.

A couple of lockdown builds: Rock Lobster for smashing round the local trails and fixed up my old Paggy Wagon for post-lockdown commuting duties

Paddy Wagon

awesome!

That looks like an absolute hoot to ride!
But the tyres are on the wrong way round, no?

Edit: Looked at the wrong picture. Paddy Wagon has the rear tyre on backwards if I'm not mistaken. 😇

Cheers it is, not sure it could handle any serious trails but for mucking about / xc it's perfect. Reminds me of the bikes I rode in the 90s. Weirdly that is the correct tread orientation.

Can always rely on dads not to throw out anything!
Soon....
Edit; upside pic is upside down

give it a Gates CDX, I dare you!

That is awesome

Mucking about is a pretty accurate description of my riding habits :D
I guess the manufacturer should know - they just look opposite to most other thread patterns.
