Threw on some cheap wheels and the black omniums/aarn to see how the black and yellow might work.
Gonna be building a nicer wheelset and changing the silver bits to black once that's done

to see how the black and yellow might work.

Works OK, apparently

Tanwalls look great on it.

Edit: wrong thread...

Bit of an odd one …

I’ve bought a second hand bike off of someone. I do have name, address contact info etc - it’s a clean bike.

It’s got a bike register number on it -I’ve looked it up its showing as all clear. What’s the best way of getting it registered in my name? Would I need to contact him as I’m assuming I couldn’t just re register it under my name.

It is possible to remove the ID number from the frame but I would like to avoid this.

rad!

Having sold a bike that was previously registered to me on bike registered - yeah, you need to get them to transfer it to your name / contact details. It’s painless, takes less than five minutes, you should drop them a line to get them to switch it.

New project coming soon.

Banging, but please tape it. Not with fizik though 🙏

Nice!

Does anyone other than halo still make 26 Inch Rim brake rims?

Thanks for confirming, I’m glad it won’t take too long on their end as it was only a £50 bike ha !

I like your parts bin Rockhopper a lot

Looking good! Bit of a déja-vu here - my house mate has the same frame:

Thanks!
A few sizes too small for me unfortunately, sold it a few days ago and the new owner seems happy with it!

Wow. Haven't browsed this thread, or basically any bike thread for 1-2 years.
A major lusting for a track bike like it's back to 2010 has appeared out of nowhere.
It's like i've gone full circle. So happy to have some stoke for bikes back.

So this came in the mail the other day, and now I only need a headset and should be able to build it with the parts from my other bike.

I'm after a '90s Campagnolo Chorus headset that originally came with the frame, but has been removed at some point. I would hate to cut the steerer and put a shorter stack headset, so one of those tall Campagnolo ones should do the trick.

You're allowed to put spacers between the top cup and the lock nut 🙂

Cheers, that would be one of the options, but as I don't have any headset at my disposal right now, I might as well fetch a proper height one. Besides, I don't really like the look of spacers on a threaded headset.

Needs this ;)
