Apart from the massive gear, it reminds me a bit of Ryan's bike.

.

great find, jono.

proof of hardcourt in the 70s then?

Hardcourt's rosetta stone?

Newsflash.

looks awesome! ^

as does graeme's, is that Rob's old frame?

whats the news ale?

Sweet gabes! where did you go? surrey hills?

swinley

looks so much fun, is that a hope stem?

yep would like to go there one day..have to do a trip out just no time at the mo but will be up for it at some point.

yeah, hope everything!

swinley is great, totally worth the £2 per day or £20 per year charge, it's very well managed, loads of lovely bermed trails, and well maintained routes.

Yeah, come along some time.

looks awesome! ^

as does graeme's, is that Rob's old frame?

indeed it is his old F&F
though old isn't maybe the right word he only had it about a month

Newsflash.

Awesome.
Is there an option to have disc brake mounts?

i've got a thompson eliete 110mm stem that i'm looking to switch up for a 70mm... anyone?

What's the regular sized spoke key?

so you're saying 3.4.
Those 'spokey's' are for Japanese spokes apparently...

Is this correct though?
12g, 13g, 14g, 15g
3.2mm, 3.3mm, 3.4mm, 3.9mm

Because I thought I was using the 15 gauge on my multi spoke tool.

If you're unsure then buy a red and a yellow spokey, works out the same as a single park key. Ive never had any problems with my yellow one

Or ask on forum where someone might know the answer...
;)

then why not look at the label on your nipple box?

Supposedly DT nipples (which are what I use) are euro not japanese, ive never had any problems shrugs
