Gear ratio effect on stopping/skidding

I have five in my big coat. The all fell off the back of Kanye West. Yours for a tenner?

Speedwolf: Welcome! Nice introduction there. It's an addictive thing collecting bike parts! There are some great threads on here about recently opened vintage shops. One in east london really piqued my interest.

However, the best place for vintage parts remains the Internet. Campyoldy.com is a great place, and ebay is also good.

Roberto/Jos have a stash (literally) of vintage parts. They're both forum members, I'm sure they'll get back to you if you drop them a PM. They're probably the cheapest (...well possibly) place to pick up a lovely steel track frame. If you have a little more cash, check out Cavendish Cycles - they often have a good range of cool frames.

Much appreciated - thanks for the suggestions!

I'll keep my eyes peeled here for parts. I have a nice one from Brick Lane Cycles...but still really want to put my own thing together.

Cheers!
