Dunno if you have this sorted yet but to remove the fixed bb cup turn it CLOCKWISE to undo it. When I say turn it I mean apply the biggest spanner you can find (I have a great big adjustable) and whack it sharply with a mallet!
Headset cups remove from inside the headtube with a long screwdriver by resting it on the lip of the cup and whacking with a mallet. I actually prefer a pair of straight bars to a screwdriver.
The fork crown race needs hitting with your screwdriver and mallet from the underside.
I hate headsets especially on older bikes.

strip, bead blast and respray = usual
yes hetchins and the tubes are good. if it didnt look the way it does it would not have been for sale.
i am waiting to speak to the the man in charge of the hetchins register. he will be able to tell me what colour , what year, why straight seat stays etcquite a birthday present!

henry, have you heard of the aquabats?

Fortunately, it got sorted before you came along with your one-piece tool kit
To a man with only a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. -
@ Jammy, are those bars 660mm wide? I've not been able to find any slightly narrower (I don't think they exist). would be great if they made some where the middle section was a 15mm or so narrower on each side. also, do you know what the diameter of the bit that sticks out front, that you've got your levers on? would be interesting to see if you could get a grip shifter on there - would keep it out of the way, but still within a reach for ease of use.
I've been thinking more about (again for the project that is still only exists in my head thus far) using some on-one midge bars with one of those bar end adapter thingys for the grip shift, but I feel that would take ages to get used to and I doubt i'd really use the drops to ride in, so might be a little bit of a waste. not sure. this whole 22.2mm diameter of a grip shift is a real pain.

it'll pay for itself the pedals are these they need servicing and rechroming though
NOS with original box = $300
Refurbished = less than the cost of the chrome plating -

The forward extension is 22.2 standard MTB size. Doubt you'd get a grip shift around the curve though.
Jeff Jones, who designed them will still do custom versions with whatever width you like but they're titanium so not cheap. -
now THIS sounds really interesting..
Is it gonna be complicated job to finish? if not I want to make the same!
so I should buy one of old SA front light that has a built in switch, and that screw in LED replacement then.
Let me know how it goes, I want to see the result :-)not with a 50 lumens LED replacement they're not =)
I'm currently working on 'project Sturmey Archer' - turning an old SA front light with a built in switch into a battery powered (via internal battery pack) LED superlight (using one of these - a screw in LED replacement)

/attachments/29533This has been a current project for a year.Just added the Suntour cranks,might change ring size.This was bordering on being sold as is last week.
But i'll put it away 'till next year when i can add some wheels. -
finally got round to getting a poncy photo of the girlfriends bike that was completed on thursday, the build itself was designed to be under £100 for the whole lot and it was managed with a huge thanks to East end Images for the brake levers, George sportif for the bike and balinda? at condor cycles for posting me the bar tape at short notice and with next day delivery at a discount!, the gf loves it so again a big thanks to all that helped me build it up for her.

Malaysian, unless you're trying to derail the whole forum, I suggest you keep your motorcycle in the Motorcycle thread. Its not appropriate in this thread.....which is meant for bicycle projects.
Also, if you care to go back to the Motorcycle thread, and examine the first 2 pages, you will realise that your bike is nothing like as beautiful to others, as it is to you. Its plain, ugly and boring. If you want to "show off" there, get a Moto Guzzi, and Ducati, or even a Buell....but that manky nonsense is meant for old people, or people with no imaginations at all. Its shit. Really, really, really shit.
