Them royce hubs are lush. They look very similar to the Fixie Inc ones though.

Yes they are nice. But they don't really appear any different in looks to a Dura Ace hub do they? And I am guessing Dura Ace hubs are 50% or less of the price?

@kowalski, is it important to have the shields?
phils use the same/similar bearings but theirs are open

Not sure.

Cliff recommends them for road use, and they're fitted as standard to the Royce road hubs.

Certainly look neater, IMHO.

defo look neater.

the royce are 100% hand-made by engleesh men, far superior sealed bearings, closer tolerances etc..... worth the extra price no?

Spindles are titanium, too.

Best of all you can phone them up and discuss your hubs (or ice cream...) with the fella that actually designed and built them.

A traditional track stem is a quill stem. fact.

Just because a stem has a certain angle doesn't make it a track stem I'm afraid. Take a look at stems used on bikes for Madison, points race etc,. and you won't see many like that one because you have to ride the bike for more than 2 minutes.

A strong case of form over function on that stem which is at odds with the lack of form over function applied to the rest of the bike!

And that frame needs a quill anyway, as steel forks with ahead stems never look right. Amen.

Yes I gives a big AMEN to that brother.Old style frame with new style components,just plain silly,but it was built by a silly poser,and what the fuck is that BMW ripoff bike.You lot are really clueless about this trick thing,but it will all show come competition time,when your so called crew gets pissed all over by an 11 year old.
You got told pancake boy.

is this serious or an in-joke between you and andy, dean?

tell me it's an in-joke..

Yawn!!

Just giving competitive jibs,just like boxers do leading up to a fight.Andy knows whats up, I piss all over him on a bike and Keanue pisses all over the lot of them.It does aggravate me just a tad bit that they are telling people what bike is right for tricks,when they are shit at tricks themselves,but I have the correct recipe for a trick bike,and It does not include those disgusting BMX looking forks.Its a track bike FFS,lets keep it that way.If you want to ride it like a BMX,then would'nt it make sense to just ride a BMX.

what a prick. The old lady totally kicked his ass

That sounds really interesting.

Is it actually rubbery in any way? I'm thinking of how resilient it would be to chips caused by stones, or to being leant against lampposts and fences.

Quite keen to know what the paint is. I've not heard of a rubber feel paint, and it could be pretty practical.

I've handled paint that feels rubberized before, but for the life of me, I can't remember the exact paint. This might head you in the right direction though.

Dean I hardly think selling a couple of bike parts on ebay counts as competition? yeah you rock it on a bike but so does andy, your styles are totally different. And he's not rising, so give it a rest?

whatever mate, take it to facebook.

Sorry,but who are you? Stop using my name as if we were on a first name basis.Word of advice if your try a bit harder in the ass licking,you might get an invite to join the elite team of FGLDN.

You've had your 15 minutes. And yes, you were funny once.

I agree with you here, but it is an aesthetic matter. Other people will view it differently

Now your back to talking a whole load of shite again, wasn't it you that was selling a bunch of bikes on here, that you had built? Some of them, as I remember, would be perfectly described by your post above.

I really don't get where your coming from OOL, but frankly, wherever it is, please go back there.

I haven't seen a welcome like this since the plague, or Black Death as it was known back then.

The titanium axles are a plus and must put a fair bit onto the price but to me, not worth the extra price. And I would guess that most of the extra price is simply down to cottage industry versus large economy of scale supplier as I can't see any evidence of superior bearings, closer tolerances etc,.

How exceedingly original...

I'm afraid you won't be in any competitions with us Dean.

The difference between you and I is when I'm told, I listen.

You are ruining it for your son... which is a shame because he is good on his bike and he is polite also.

keep on originating.

And to everyone else, I apologize for hijacking this thread...

please continue with the porn!!!!

peace :)

you don´t need to apologize for anything Andy
