eBay and Craigslist finds

oops.
sorry- its probably a conversion from a road frame, but I've got enough bits lying around to build it free and give to the better half.
(and thanks Jambon!)

or if she doesn't like it, sell it for near nothing here.

Nice one, just wish it was bigger.
Don't forget we have a currect project thread ;)

I'll take that off your hands if it doesn't work out for her, I know just the person who would like it:-)
Nice work though.

I've just spent the last 20mins talking myself out of buying a ton of stuff.

The Plant X sale is just ridiculous.

What are the FSA headsets like?

It almost seems worth picking things like this up just because eventually it'll get used.

it used to have gear nipples, but they have been sawn off and re painted

I understand that you young people think that the Roberts is a nice bicycle/classic. Please stop calling the Baines 'hideous'... it's perhaps an acquired taste. (Smiley face thing here)

FSA headsets are pretty good.
They have replaceable cartridge bearings.
Don't forget to clean and grease up a few times per season, otherwise you've got to replace them every year.
Problem is: they have to fit your frame and fork.
But they produce many different kinds and are able to customize for larger customers.
And... Fullspeedahead sounds better than the original name (Tien Hsin).

Personally I prefer a cable stopper directly attached to the stem/bars connection.

Nice Merckx with dura ace in Switzerland,

I think its newly built.
