Dear Robobobboobobobob...

Thank you for being a top chap and dropping off a BB I needed to finish a build.

Dear Hilary,

Thanks for sending me the wrong sized seatpost so I can't finish said build.

Best,
Chris.

Ha, he did this to me twice, was after a 27.0, so he sent me a 26.8, then a 27.2, then finally a 27.0, which actually turned out to be a 27.4 that had been labelled wrong, fucking jokes (partly on his part, partly on 1980s shimano's part)

My road bike, a Bottechia Columbus Max re-sprayed in Neon Yellow and re-sticked Cougar :

Nice, would prefer white tape/saddle or black hoods.

Exactly same prob... need a 27 dead (I think) he sent a 27.2.
Ok, not 100% the same, 50%? 75%?

100% annoying...

Shitty phone pic.

Had to get a new BB as chainstays were too fat and old one didn't give clearance.

Love this

Replacing that CX frame with this. Been on the lookout for an Audax frame forever, and it's a Caygill (bit in love with paramounted's).

Not sure about gruppo though. 6400/7400 mix? It is modern, but...

nice frame and a good bargain.
watched it on ebay, but was too small anyhow.

Should be just about right for me, will experiment.
I thought it was a good price, wasn't sure though! Glad someone else thought so.

just won this frame and fork on ebay, very exciting! - £165 including p&p seemed pretty good aswell

853?

I was watching that. Looks really nice.

he seemed to think it was 853, built by atom from the Manchester area who I dont know anything about - anyone know anything?

tubes look 853, so I would say it is.
check for cracks around the seat collar.

he sent me this, which looks alright for cracks

That thing looks fucking radical.

oh, a lug!
nice.

what's the toptube length?

I'm calling first dibs for when you sell it.

56.5 top tube and 56 downtube. Bit on the small side for me at 6' 1 but i reckon I can squeeze into it

you can always be telling yourself ctt measurements to make it bigger in your eyes.
sumo, its too small for you.

nice frame, seriously - fluted seattube looks cool.

sumo, its too small for you.

actually it's the perfect size.
