Can you help to identify these frames, bikes or parts?

why you want a 1/8" ? to be cool and the gang?

I find its a bit quieter, you don't get the side to side taps as the chain moves on the ring. Why do you have a 3/32 135 bcd 47t going spare?

i run a 3/32 front on my commuter/hack and polo bike with 1/8 chain and ring.

Me too, but if I'm buying one, its 1/8th for me.

Are you suggesting 'Crispy noodle' is only good for a polo or hack bike?!?

yeah, dura-ace are 144, +1 to miche. Still good cranks!

Got this nice frame recently of keith at tour de ville, (will release fuller images when it progresses a little!)

Anyway, theres this little brazed on mounting bracket for something that I cant quite figure out.

Im not planning to remove it, nor "concerned" in anyway. Just a little curious to what its for.

dental floss dispenser

Holds the front mech innit, wait is this a piss-take?

Derailleur hanger???

Bottle cage.

Excuse me if this is the case, I do not have much of a history with road bikes.

Ive spent time working in bike shops, still never ever seen owt like it.

Front Braze On Derailleur Hanger

Where did you work Toys r us?

Front mechs come in band on or braze on. Yours is the latter.

i dont know but my carbolight has has no that one but the one on the blue line. and i think they the sign of a realy good frame.

gentleman come down, someone don't know something, he ask, the rest anwser, c'mon

exposed myself as an ignoramus again, oh dear.

Thanks for the education though, dependable bunch.

Like I say, not really been around too many road bikes. The few I have, all had clamp-on.

its hard. i asked about seatpost, and people said good things. the furms good.

I have the identical mount on the frame I am working on: (see the left hand side here)

It is a front mech mount, I still have the mech as proof ! They have been like this for decades before band mounts became popular.

Ah har...the tomasini! And yeah, the form the paint takes with a liberal amount of nitromors certainly is satisfying. Yep!
Tis gonna be a super nice build.

It took around 3-4 minutes to go from super tough powdercoat to being able to peel it like loose tangerine peel, it's like picking scabs, very addictive, I might by a bunch of frames just to Nitromors them and then peel 'em ! ;P

It's the most fun you can have with your trousers on.

that paint looks crazy. nitromors is presumably very dangerous...?

You don't really need gloves, you would need a hell of a lot, left on for a very long time to really do your skin any damage. I used to do furniture renovation when I was younger and spent hours covered in the stuff, never did me any harm. Goggles is probably a good idea though, although I never have.

car paint stripper nitromors is different to the one which you strip furniture varnish.

You can feel the "burn" in the air soon as you start applying it. Would not want to get any one me. Have you ever tried to get powder coat off in any other way? its nigh impossible, yet this stuff gets it off in seconds.

If any of this got in your eyes, which is very easy to do. It would dissolve them. (dependant on how much got it)

Also if your working with a lot of caustic soda, over long periods of time. It can increase the internal pressure of your eyes. Which on a healthy person would just cause discomfort, but in others vision damage. without even touching your eye!

goggle msds nitromors. it is very nasty stuff. as a chemical it is banned from use on most sites because it is rather dangerous. (refinery's as in site)
