Current bikes

Strip it to raw.

Yeah! They're brilliant cranks, pretty cheap but still swishy looking enough.

Nice to see a Cinelli without derailleurs.

woops!

Yeah, the Showe is looking good after a bit of rain, isn't it!

(woops! totally missed the forum string, found the thread in a search! sorry..!)

No probs :) Always nice to see nice bikes.

Rest of the stuff for my Dolan should arrive Tuesday, bit later than expected

Dose any one here know of any one local who could weld a rear mech hanger on a steel frame?

I'm able to cut off a mech hanger from a scrap frame for free, i just need it welded on (that should be possible right?)

sounds possible, ill ask my mate who welded my frame when it snapped ?

Doesn't Lae do some welding or something? If not, Lee Cooper might be an (expensive?) option...

What sort of drop out is it? Would something like this work?

I'd do it but my welding gear is at my parents' house in Essex. I'm really busy at the moment, but after Easter I'm gonna start practising my brazing and framebuilding skills - so I might be able to help you in six weeks or so.

One of those bolt-on things will work fine, though - lots of bikes still use them, they're just a bit fiddly if you have to remove the wheel.

I was looking for hours for that lil' hanger! i knew they existed but i couldn't find one at all, yes i think it would work

its for my guerciotti (the one with the basket) from its hard life its lost a mech hanger, but i would like to put some gears on it

When its bolted with that little 10mm bolt they are not a problem, just not sure my drop out is long enough to do that

if its possible to get it welded that would be really great

lewis have you got your gazelle up and running yet ??

I've got stuff welded at metal fabricators/engineers shops before for less than the cost of a bolt-on hanger. You've gotta make sure it goes on straight though. Some car welders will do little jobs like this, too, if you do the prep first.

Gazelle's almost up and running - I'm stupidly busy at the moment so I'm doing about 15 minutes a day... tonight I'll polish up the seatpost.

Excellent! It's purely by chance that I was reading a thread elsewhere about adding a mech hanger that I know about that (I think it was the Pompino thread).

Thanks for the help, ill give it some thought

Shot a photo of my Planet X with it's new forks:

haha, you up for a ride this weekend then lewis provided you get it done in time ??

I don't really have the time I'm afraid. Design interview on Monday then a university project in on the 30th... I should be okay after then, though.

ahh k, jus let us know when your free and we'll all go for a cruise !!!

Glad you got it sorted. Look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

those lugs on the head tube are so cool!
