30 BUILD http://www.londonfgss.com/thread22785-2.html

anyone care to join for beers/bikes etc? not 'technically' a ride but, unless you live there, you'd have to ride there :)

yanky doodle will be providing a crate of beer for those that help in the build (need some tools as I've only standard stuff) and a crate of beer for those that committed parts (plus the cash for them that deliver on the day).

hair of the dog?

I'm not going to be about then. If you need the bullhorns or chainrings off me, we'll need to arrange something..

yanky doodle will be in contact with everyone this week to collect stuff :)

So you wanted everyone to get you bits, and now you want everyone to build it for you . . . tis certainly a novel idea of yours.!

Where is Grey Friars Road?

Donut, after running all around London, and probably doing so the rest of the week, I'd say there are simpler ways of building a bike. Honestly, it's just been a blast doing this process, and if I get a usable bike, so much the better. If not, it's been a great introduction to London, my new home :).

pretty damn sure i can make it on sunday.
Will see you there.
I also have some used white fizik handlebar tape, not on the bars currently and a bit tatty but maybe useful? Free of course seeing as you're providing beer and cash.

I can happily swing by with the cranks I offered ...

Where is Grey Friars Road?

touché well... who doesnt know where condor are!

hahha gaia is the spirit of the earth... obviously you didn't study the classics. cultured FGSS :)

Or watch Captain Planet?

So now I should feel bad that I didn't study Greek literature AND watch the most horrible Saturday morning cartoon invented? Seriously, in the US, Captain Planet is what your parents would make you watch if they felt you were being especially evil on that day....

Hey, whatever floats your boat, I'd say the best way to build something like a bike is to do it yourself, that way you know how to fix it should you need to.

Not knocking your way of doing things tho. Enjoy!

When you say ^ that you need 'headset (1 1/8th integrated), a front hub, and spokes', you seem to be missing a few other bits to me...
BB
rear hub ... And what number holeage for that and the front?
Non drive side crank ... Or is mobidog offering a pair, it just says '(drive side)'?
Brake lever?
TT protector spotted hankie?
Mudguard?!

Sorry if I missing something - I think you guys definitely are.

Good point, Skully, adding to list. If anyone has these items, let us know......

Can't make Sunday, as I'm not in London. Hope someone will be posting some pictures here! Looking forward to seeing what this bike will end up looking like.

PS captain planet did suck... but it did teach me all about recycling and magic.

YDD - I've got a Campag Record front hub you can have for a score. I also live v.close to regents park and will probably be about (if I make it back from Dunwich)

Sweet... Though I'm not entirely sure what you mean by 'a score'

Guys, an appeal for volunteers for the items we need (headset, etc.), and for the guys that signed up for things to respond to my DMs, so I can collect them:
