@fwd I hope you find out about your cranks, the any questioned answered or the Ali express thread might yield more results but no harm in asking here
I have spent the last week resolving previously highlighted issues.
I have sourced some cranks from eBay, they’re on their way, a bottom bracket too, I do need the chainring still, 104, narrow wide, 32t, but for the most part this is one item ticked off the list
I’m sure said cranks will have me kicked out of wanker bike on what was a tenuous membership with homer, but i think the vibe will be good, overall. Functional, old, more than the sum of its parts, it’s all in the copy and salespersonship
The 2nd was my wheel, I messaged Arkane wheel works for when I move, one of our own, so that will be sorted in the next few weeks and hopefully will put this whole experience behind me
And the third, handlebars! For now I’ve just ordered long voile straps and some foam spacers, I’m sure it will be fine. To mount a bag, not to steer I should clarify.
some may have seen the lovely man who built this bike has a new tube bender, when they’re up and running, confident making bent tubes, it’s likely getting a custom set. For now, the Mary’s.
And finally some new stickers! @dangeek sent me some this week, shocked there was no dbad sticker on the bike, kindly included some extra which now adorn the blueslug
On the same note @gubhi sent me some brum ones in a sticker exchange a while back, which have been sitting quite nicely on both bikes (please forgive me gubhi if you’re not Birmingham fixed gear, it would seem you have very similar bike collections)
