Hey all

Im building up a touring bike on an old Claud Butler Dalesman frame. This one's gonna be geared so if anyone has any old friction shifters, either bar end or downtube (though not requiring braze-ons) then I can take them off your hands.

Im also after a 50ish tooth chainring, so if you have stripped one off an old road bike I would happily give you a few quid for it.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
