Post All (of the) Citys!!

Very nice! I'm not sure if you're planning to chuck mudguards on at any point but I can just about fit 45mm Bluemels over 32c GKs on my Mr Pink, despite All City suggesting that the max tyre size for guards is 28c. That's with the Whisky forks rather than the steel though, I'm not sure how they compare for clearance.

Cheers!

@cheekysnaker yup it sure did.

That's interesting to know. Thanks.

It looks like the steel fork has more clearance than the frame - tightest points are the chainstays and the seatstays.

I used 42mm Blummels when I had it with 32mm tyres, only time I had an issue was when I ran Specialized Roubaix Pro 30/32mm tyres, they have slightly taller sidewalls than a standard 32mm, so I removed the seatstay mounting bracket, drilled 2 holes in the guard, used a cable tie looped over the rear caliper frame mounting bolt, perfect!

Pic for the sake of it

I took the mudguards off my Mr Pink and went to mess about in the woods. I had loads of fun but I'm very bad at it. I also recently sewed some patches to my frame bag to show off some of my many athletic achievements.

How can you be bad at messing about in the woods?

Good point. I'm just bad at not stacking it whilst messing about in the woods.

New(ish) chainset for the Big Block went on yesterday

First ride today on my new-old Space Horse. Very fun.

To do: get a decent out-front Garmin mount, switch stem and spacers for a VO Tall Stack, get matching VO seatpost (probably in zero layback), find the rubber washer that’s supposed to stop the front mudguard rattling, replace rear brake cable with compressionless to match the front.

looking sweet!

New tyres. Wish I got the 43’s instead of 38’s. Wasn’t sure if I’d have clearance, which I now know I would’ve. Oh well. Rims are worn and the front is fucked. Still love this bike though.

Can see a cable but no rear brake?

yes it's not installed for the moment i have a problem with the thread

Ah got it, was getting confused by what looks like a cable by the seatpost

Was this bought of @tom-g recently??

Really wish I bought it now....

no , i bought thise frame two years ago in France

Any advice on how much this Mr Pink frame with Surly fork and Ultegra 10 speed groupset would be worth? I'm planning to sell it but not sure on what kind of price. It's the one with the Pressfit bottom bracket but I've put a Rotor converter into it to use the Ultegra chainset.

Thanks

Are those Honjo's? Add a bajillion pounds if so.
Remove that mini pump and brooks saddle, plus another bajillion pounds.

very undesirable that, i'll give you £50 to post it to me and i'll dispose of it...

realistically tho, 7-1100 depending on who or where, if the wheels are in good nick and it comes with the dynamo

take the pump, pedals and the plastic cage off, acetone the finishing kit parts and take a nice side on shot in a field, with the bike clean, someone will scoop it up.

desirable bike

Always wanted one of these.

Id say around 750 sounds about right.

Thanks for the feedback on the price greatly appreciated.

I have a personal dissuasion for Brooks. However, people seem to love them, so might be worth replacing with a basic saddle and selling separately for profit (if you weren't intending to keep it).
