SSCX Only!

Still struggling to find a 130bcd 38 tooth chainring for ss purposes. Can anyone recommend anything?

Ta.

Surly

Big bucks tho, like black too, wanted a Thorn but no stock.

If you can manage 39t, take the Shimano one.
Amazon.com : Shimano Tiagra 4500 39t 130mm 9-Speed Chainring : Bike Chainrings And Accessories : Sports & Outdoors
It's available in black too. I have a black one on my Surly. It works.

230mm

tentatives on it when the time comes?

monday? (maybe tomorrow/friday) I'd be happy with 170 notes; another tenner and i'll throw in the 105 front brake I had to buy as my steel forks are long drop

I used one of these

Cheers muchly for the options.

I had seen the sram one and thought it might work, given there is no ramps on it.

This is now off bike; you keen loin?

Ok so here's my dilemma, I bought this cheap Gazelle Cross Trophy frame on an impulse without fully reading the add. Turns out it had a front end shunt at some point, as you can see from the picture the tyre is almost touching the downtube and there is a small crease in it. My idea for this project was a cheap SSCX racer, built mainly from the parts bin. My question is, if I were to buy different forks with greater clearance would this work ok? Or do you think the geometry be too far gone to be a rideable?

No way I'd ride that get some second hand forks a new frame, I wouldn't ride a crashed frame on the road, let alone off road., unless of course you don't like your teeth

Not legit at all.

Are the forks the ones invovled in the crash? They can probably be sorted at a framebuilder for £20. The frame goes in a skip (sadly).

Or a tube replacement.

Would you need to replace the toptube aswell?

Burn it with fire.

My question is, if I were to buy different forks with greater clearance would this work ok? Or do you think the geometry be too far gone to be a rideable?

Regarding this, the steeper head angle would make the steering extremely
nimble, like can't keep the bike in a straight line while getting out of the saddle nimble.

So even if you're thinking about doing this, it would be inadvisable.

Cheers for all the advice fellas. I'm no expert on frames hence the questions...... So who's got a SSCX frame for sale? Or can anyone recommend a good starting point?

Cheers

I do

That's a really nice bike. Thanks for the offer but I'm kinda of hoping to stick with canti brakes and the "vintage" theme

I do

Oi!

I think its at a stage where if you just add brake levers and chainring its a complete sscx; keen? See that pic ^ minus Di2; minus 6700 crankset but with rival cranks 110bcd (no chainrings); minus brake levers; minus saddle; minus pedals ..

Just out of curiosity... What's the price as is then?

£650 sounds fair?

Specs are Hope headset, hubs and V twin; Velocity A23 wheelset; 4130 frame with Kinesis CXD full carbon fork; Thomson finishing kit; Rival GXP cranks with BB; Marathon supreme tyres.

How much did it cost you? Sell it on!

not sure what do you mean
