nice, but why do you need two?

one is gonna be tight and undrilled for the track and the other one for London.

hiya

i've laid my hands on some interesting campa record titanium seatpost, but apparantely it comes w/o some parts =)) please see pic below.
now, i've tried some parts from other (non-campa) seatposts i have at home, but they wouldn't fit
basically, i need that top part, which would fit. please help - of someone has it, know where to get it, or know how to correctly ask for it. thanks!

If all else fails,

My first conversion! Now gone to be converted back to geared by its original owner!!

I hope you're not using that little lock otherwise you can kiss your bike bye bye to anyone with a pair of scissors.

is that colnago meant to be like a damien hirst spot picture?

[Well used Nagasawa]

Gonna give her the "silver" treatment she deserves. Looking for nitto seatpin, chris king 1in (silver or pink) and a pair of vintage suntour/sugino mighty pista cranks. Also replacing the wheelset.... drop me a PM if you have anything "low profile" nice, might be persuaded.

How is the Mavic wheelset in city riding?

Twister mate.

no, its supposed to be (and is) a futura & stash designed piece.

3 weeks to go before the cranks move

are those mags 24in?

did you nick those wheels off a wheelchair?

I did use it for quite some time... Then lost the key! Has been replaced with something i little more substantial!

24" in a 26" frame.... how will the BB be?

pedal strike?

Brake bosses and tyre clearances look right on those wheels. Sure it's a 26" bike? Some are designed so you could use either and had 2 holes for the brake bosses to screw into

I have installed some new cranks on a bike. just pushed them on greased square taper axle ends, and then used a fairly deccent socket wrench to tighten the bolts (again greased). the lefthand crank arm is 4mm further out from the bike's centre line than the righthand arm. is this normal?

i have tried UTFS but to no avail...

Probably just a tad too stiff... but you know they are bombproof so you just fly across any potholes.

its a 24" frame with new T-spoke 24" skyway tuffs. believe it or not, they are designed for bmx and have 10mm axles. pedal strike wont matter as im not going to be riding fixed!

Yep rik the frame will fit 26" wheels **with **skinny tyres

I had a set of those wheels on a BMX cruiser a couple of years ago. Alright for a pub bike but way to heavy and flexy for any kind of propper riding. Mine were the H spoke ones but I can't see it making to much difference. They do look the shiz tho

before

after - 1958 sun birmingham manxman

Thinking of selling it to fund bits for the gordon frame im picking up this weekend, but no idea what its worth gumtree wise? £150? £175?

lol I just replaced them where they had originally been.

actually pretty comfy if you cycle in the drops.
