thanks sumo ;)
do you realy want one?

Nowhere Fast - get a coaster hubs build on a 20" rims, and that's all you need to do;

coaster brake would be pretty cool, maybe at least a front brake to, i can't get the sturmy archer working anyway

that lil blue thing yours?

it is mine, loved it to death, rode brilliantly, no one want to nick it, even if it wasn't locked, had to sell it as I already got a similar bike sadly (town bike).

there's a lots of instruction regarding SA hubs, don't forget when you change gear on an internal gear bicycle - you need to stop pedalling before you do, much like depressing the clutch of the car to change gear.

The Raleigh Twenty have a cult following for a reason; they're decent 20" wheel bicycle.

Yeah I'm pretty happy with my find, should turn out good! i haven't actually paid for it yet, do i take the plunge tomorrow?

May need your help with the hub in the future if that's okay?

go for it but pay no more than £50.

I don't know much about internal hubs mechanically beside using them, other people may (don't forget to search first!).

money was going to my peugeot road bike but that can wait, It's not even ride-able yet

Probably get it for £25/30, volunteers get a discount

Just finished this.

Pump, and chainguared off but i may keep that box thing, sure come in handy, I'm thinking charge bucket saddle or similar, then new paintjob, odyssey griswald grips(sooo comfy) clips and straps to, not sure which ones yet

Looks like a nice start! But i don't reckon you'd need to respray it...bear in mind that something like this is a bit of fun, and ultimately you don't wanna be spending a ton of money on it. Well, that was my opinion doing mine...i must've spent just over £100 all in. I think you'll find that once you strip it down, add some new bits (tyres, saddle, grips etc) it'll look pretty cool. Nice.

yeah ill probably keep the paint job actually and try keep it looking pretty good, i had no idea about them until last night

ill be keeping it original for now, ride it around a bit then decide what to do, Don't want to rush into it and ruin it

Just finished this.

My condolences on your loss

It had do be done. It rode right in to the window this afternoon and disabled itself so I took it out back and snapped its neck to put it out of its misery. Poor thing.

Oddly, pointless

Haha, like every thing else I own...

I can definitely see a point

DD Trying out Bob Jackson set up put some nitto bars and stem on

Whats your point?

Oddly, pointless

Here is my new tarck bike ready the night before hh opens!
I did have an aero carbon mike burrows seatpost but it turns out it was around an inch too big so downgraded to the miche hipstertype seatpost
until i get another crabon one. Also testing out saddles so this one is not permanent.
The pedals were also just pulled off another bike until I get some more fitting spd pedals.
ps saddle angle is now fixed and so is slack chain

Christ, if your Burrows post is too big for that, it must be huge.
(looking good though, you pulled it together proper quick)

^^Nice stem. What is it?

oh yea about the stem, i got it of jonny as i needed a short oversize stem so im using this until i can find a more appropriate one!
