  • Need a headset, chain, seatpost clamp and to relube my Hubs.
    And yes im also working on new forks.

  • Looks good, but I think that you should treat it to a carbon front wheel...

    A Corima 4 spoke or Mavic IO should do the trick...

    oi! it's not your bike anymore! ;)

    i would love a corima.... it looked the tits when you had one on there.... but i wont have a tub, and i can't find a corima clincher for less than £400.... which i aint prepared to pay for a wheel to go on my beater!

    they do have a corima tub in 14 though..... they do cycle2work there you say..... maybe i could be persuaded.....

  • YOUR FUCKING BEATER?

    How dare you!

  • hahaha..... i knew you'd bite ;)

    is it brand spanking new? how much is it going for?!

    also, has your bike been clear-coated at all to stop it rusting further?

  • is it brand spanking new? how much is it going for?!

    not telling.

    yes.

  • Ourys suck! Champs FTW!

    And a shim wont work as I'd need to make the tube bigger not smaller.
    Most common post size is 27.2 or similar. Mine is way smaller :(

    What about using a USE seat post....can't remember the size, but it is one size and then shim it

  • not telling.

    bah! you mean that i am going to have to go down there myself to find out that i can't afford it?

  • Possibly!

  • Thanks dude. I'll look into it.

  • Just got hold of this today, it's a bit nice....


  • ^^Loving that colour

    Ourys are sooo much comfier though (imo)...and yeah, I got the seat post calculation the wrong way round, doofus that I am... you could always get an NJS negative shim from BLB?

  • ron cooper?

  • Just taken the new bike out for a ride and it feels great! Gearing is quite high and it is a pain to stop without the brake, but ill learn.

    Apparently i need a lockring to keep the cog from slipping, is this correct (pic to show below)?

    It'd be a good idea.

    Can't see much of a thread though.

  • DA hubs come with a lockring!

    where on earth do you get your hands on all these sick frames?

  • phasergunalex, lee cooper?

    ron cooper?

    Apparently it's one of Ron's, but i need to do a bit more research. How long has Lee Cooper been building frames, anyone know?! Some old dear had it sitting in her flat for 20 odd years gathering dust, after taking it instead of a rent payment.
