  • You could just take them to a builder and get them drilled....

    Would prefer getting a pair of 1" forks to maybe keep for a possible build . Plus I spoke to Chas Roberts cycles and estimated a drilling of the forks would cost about £25-£30.

    why not just keep brklzz

    Refer to what ltc said.

    ^ This, Full set of teeth >> Hipster points for brakelezz. #Priorities, innit.

    Your wish is my command!

    No worries, I've already found a pair of suitable forks and currently in the process of acquiring them. Thanks nonetheless.

  • "Suitable forks"

  • Where from, just out of interest?

  • A guy pmd me with some forks. No Crown race installed might be a problem though

  • Not a problem at all as not all crown races are the same anyway, just take the one off your old forks.

  • Ah, did not know this. Thanks, Indra. Hopefully I'll be picking up the forks and cutting them down to the steerer length over the course of the next week.

  • mudguard eyelets?

  • Yeah they come with eyelets. (were you asking if they did or questioning why I would buy forks with eyelets?)

  • Change of plan, decided not going to go for the forks I have posted above due to £££. So I have hunted down the buyer of the forks TM showed me and luckily (for me), he is willing to sell them to me for £30. The Great thing about these are the steerer length is exactly the length I need. £30 forks

  • ^^ bit of both

    ^ happy days, what a gent. They look like nice forks.

  • Thanks once more TM, wouldn't have found them if it weren't for you.

    Apparently have to spread rep first.

  • If all goes well .. Should be picking them up on Friday.

  • Teh new guise:

    Safety first, innit.

  • They look decent, suit the frame well!

  • Thanks a lot TM, wouldn't have found them if it weren't for you. The little 2mm or so spacer is also none existent too! :) Stem officially slammed.

  • Looks decent! Alpinas would be better though, ha ha. How is it to ride? Saddle angle looks a little jaunty.

    ftfy, it's an absolute dream to ride, steering is smooth and responsive. The saddle angle isn't too bad atm, might have to tweak it once in a while but apart from that, it's all good.

  • Saddle is pointing well down! If you need to ride like that it might be worth lowering it a little and trying to level it out.

  • Looks like a really quality everyday bike with the road fork and brake.
    Sort the saddle angle though bro.

    Ah seen, yeah I'll sort out asap!

    Thanks Joss, I'll sort out the angle; never realised how bad it was until i took another look at it now. Looks like the saddle itself declined as I rode it. :/

  • Could be, I know the one on my brooklyn likes to point itself upwards after a while.

  • lol, saddles having minds of their own. Cheers for the heads-up lads, this will be rectified. Hows the Pendle, Indra?

  • Lovely, not bollox smashingly stiff like the orlowski but still easily as stiff as the seta, comfy as the Brooklyn.

  • Brilliant, great to hear you've found your favorite frame so far (?) What are the dimensions of the frame, btw?
