  • So far this week I've purchased the following;

    Goldtec Rear hub, black 32h
    Black Deep V (Non machined)
    32 spokes
    33 nipples (I'll blatently lose one during the wheel build)

    (thanks jos)
    650c tubular rim and tub radially laced to a Shimano 600 (smooth as sin) hub
    650c Specialized Motorola Tri Spoke with tub
    (/thanks Jos)

    A 1 1/8 Chris King headset (BLACK)

    That's more than halved my wish list.

    Still to buy are a Phill Wood BB, Nitto drops, New chainring & Trackcog, Chain and some risers (Eastern EA30)

    I've also acquired (Liberated) an old cruiser with a coaster brake.

    What's on all of your wish lists?

  • world peace.

  • ACQUISITIONS (relatively quiet week):
    -1950 chrome track bars and stem
    -1950 chrome axle wingnuts NOS
    -1950 reynolds 1/8" chain NOS
    -backpack

    WISHLIST:
    -my baby holdsworth back from mercian (fingers crossed tomorrow)

    -1950 english quill pedals
    -1950 english black leather toe straps
    -1950 english metal toe clips
    -headset and BB grease nipple
    -11 3/4" chrome spokes

    -1950 english 27" tubular tyres

  • War.

  • . . . or a Kitkat.

  • How about a Kitkat chunky?

  • Wish List:

    Some time to remove the old stuck seat post...
    Chain ring 1/8 with 130 B(P)CD and somewhere between 42 and 48 teeth! (or a new crank with the same!)

    My purchase this week:

    New wheelset - Miche Primato 36 hole on Mavic Open Pros with lovely blue Michelin tyres. Shame the bike I'm building up is going to be red. That said the Pug is blue so they'll be fine for now.

  • Brooks swift or some brooks I can chop into that shape
    matching leather bar tape

    A mavic open-pro blue or something similar 32h

    campy aero or Miche seatpost 27.2mm

    nice retro looking cranks to replace my sugino messengers.

    new hood for my shimano 105 aero lever

  • don't justify your blatant smugness by adding at the end "so... what's on all of your wish lists" in an attempt to make this a thread!

    Only messing. so is this a thoroughly planned ultimate build? takes a while dunnit. expensive too. must see pics when you're finished!

  • "PETER PAINE" hehehe

    Peter Paine, Personal Trainer to the stars!

  • on my wish list - set of phils - have no need for them
    a single hub - if i buy two, it'll just be spare and then won't match
    also thinking dura-ace the shit out of my attack frame - i think it would look noice

  • Fluro pink Arrospok

  • Wolflore, am I you? I also need the same BCD chainrings, but am thinking that lpg might have sorted me out on that, if he gets me more than one, do you want the spare? I won't even start thinking about stuck seat posts again, I've just learnt to ride one bike at a silly height.
    There's a couple of Brooks B17s on gumflea at £10 http://www.gumtree.com/london/59/19182159.html up in stoke newington, but hands off the honey one.
    I suppose it still technically counts as this week, so I got: a pewter goldtec rear hub with an open pro... all i need now is a new front wheel to do the rear one credit. a new saddle, some bar tape, and some time to ride it. Oh and ideas as to what to do with an old GT ZR4000...

  • Oh and the GT has old shimano 105 aero levers if anyone wants them?

  • hippy "PETER PAINE" hehehe

    Peter Paine, Personal Trainer to the stars!

    he really exists, a Marque Enthusiast!

    I think he married Betty Swallocks, the little known English female frame builder

  • @ Superprecise. Im not trying in any way to hide my smugness.
    I've been broke for many many months and got paid a bonus on Monday. I'm systematically buying everything I may want/need :]

    To be honest the stuff is all for my current main ride ( All of the others aren't fixed wheels) , I just like being able to change things around for different purposes, or sometimes just because it's fun.

  • the only auction i am bidding on ends at 1950 tonight. i won't be online though. will be sinking the G with the west end beer monsters. something about priorities and wack.

    nice work there object. good on ya

  • Still trying to work out if I'm going to make tonight.
    You need to employ some bid snier action for your current lot.

  • Laughing in the face of popular opinion I bought a Titanium MTB frame and a brown deep V for my campy hub.
    I wish for a 90s kore stem currently on ebuy, world peace, and a single tim-tam so I can finally pit the Ozzie 'tim-tam' against an authentic British Penguin in a tea-slamming contest..
    ...okay I was kidding about the deep-V.. ;-)

  • can't you bid by mobile?

  • object, thing is i ain't that fussed about it. might stick a semi-decent bid in before leaving the office and leave it to chance.

    prav, dude, may have to talk to you about your old GT frame. seriously.

  • i've got a mint 52T campag 130BCD chainring

  • that is funny snowy, i am actually bidding on a pair of phones like that at the moment!
