  • I've got a rusty old 5-speed you can have.

    If you mean it comes with a block then I don't need that - I'll have to use my old one so it fits the chain. But yea I might be interested, so long as it runs alright and all. Or could be made to do so with a 60p pack of new bearings.

    I can make one from some old wood and cardboard I've got in the garage... It'll fail magnificently. I'll even throw in some duct tape so you can attach the cassette.

    Wood? Well la dee da, posh boy. When I was growing up we made our frames from plant stems and wheels from clay. Except it wasn't clay, it was just soil from the council estate mixed with our tears and vimto.
