Bike Mielec

Hey you Mielec owners, most of you went with the IHS right?

Sorry for my ignorance. But does IHS mean internal headset?

Integrated, but yeah.

Integrated HeadSet. The cups are part of the frame.

Thanks :-)

Like on a Dolan Pre Cursa, right?

I think the true potential behind this copany is that they really can accommodate all request whilst being reasonable with the prices. its us who consider buying materials /building frames as a black magic process which costs awful lot of money but once in a while someone turns up who has access to decent priced materials/considers his work modestly/doesnt add extra 30% for marketing and branding and changes our perspective..

Has anybody had any chainline issues?
I have built my bike, minus some details, but I find that my 103mm BB and the fuji branded genetic tibia cranks (I think) setup is not perfectly aligned. The measured chainline for the crankset is 42mm on my setup, there's a 2-3mm offset at the rear (going out from front to rear). It could be the hub that's not very good though (these).
Any similar issues?

Both Hambar and I have good chainlines.
I ride Omniums on Novatec (Navigator Pista)
Hambar rides Miche Pista on a Condor Miche Hub

42mm/103mm BB with Tibia Cranks here too.
Works good with Miche hub 42mm chainline, so your hub+cog maybe gives you 44mm?
Fix it with longer BB or try to flip the cog

That's probably the hub then... I thought they were too cheap to be that good. Oh well...
I've got a new cog and some spacers coming soon so that'll probably help... Worse comes to worst I'll change the BB. Thanks for your help y'all!

Was someone riding a pink Mielec with their mate through Streatham at about 6 today? I was hiding in roadie gear

Any photos of the new dropouts yet?

^^ probably vince if anyone

It wasn't me this time. Only cycled Brixton to Lewisham and back around 11.30am today on the pink Mielec

I'm knocking this on the head, as much as I would like one, he's quoting me £200, with the new dropouts.

I could probably buy a 2nd hand mash frame for that.

200 without shipping? only because of the new dropouts?!

With shipping.

so you got a picture of them as well?
let us know!

That's gotta be a mistake. On the homepage it says 120 for the basic mash geo with round tubes - but it says with dropouts with inserts included, so..?

Hi Paul,
The price for such frame with oval and triangular tubes would be 155 pounds. The price for shipping is 22pounds.
I think the size for you will be M. New dropouts will be available at the end of February - now being tested. Price for the frame with new hooks and pipes will be higher by about 30 pounds.

best regards,
Robert

^^^^ Right well everything extra thats not the basic tubing, welds, headset options etc costs extra.. what headset did u order`?

I pretty much wanted what Bonor got, and I'm sure he paid a fair bit less.

right but i think he was in with the large order so they got a cheaper price, no? I also think he had integrated headset - that costs extra, aswell as the all triangular front triangle, paintjob and smooth welds.

Maybe I should wait for another bulk order then :)

Well, if youre willing to wait that long :) ... I didnt want to start a Mielec group order here in Sweden cause I thought it would increase the risk of fuckups or mixups + longer delivery time. I just ordered an M sized mash geo with traditional headset, no paintjob, oval bottom and triangular top tubing for 170 euros including shipping. I think that everyone is expecting it to be übercheap just because its from Poland but I think my price still is a bargain.

Im just having difficulty deciding whether or not I should get a integrated headset after all, because of compability but also quality reasons (I just cant let go of the thought that integrated in the long run will be bad for the headtube, but then Im also affraid I wont find a good enough fork going traditional).
