So rad!

Thanks. This opens up some possibilities in the future. So many frames can be bought/saved

Excellent! Nice work.

so many frames

You can't possibly ride them all yourself

True. I give quite a lot away to friends...

Thanks.
The vice was perfect for it

Think I need new friends.

I have decided that I will try and build the cross check up for my dad.
Unfortunately he has Parkinsons and cycling is getting increasingly hard for him.
We are same height so the frame is a good length but head tube is a tad short. He has specifically said he rather stop cycling than have a sloping top tube (he used to race) so spacer stack it is then...
I need a reliable 27.2 dropper post to make it easier for him to get on and off the bike. Any advice on this is appreciated. Sam at Stayer is currently rocking Brand X and that seams sturdy enough.

All of this is of course sad, but the positive thing is that I will have a bike to ride around when I am visiting :)

This opens up some possibilities

Wahay

Keeping your old man on the road and enjoying something he clearly loves can only be a positive thing.

The RSP 27.2 dropper I had was very reliable, if rather basic.

The Brand-X dropper I have (albeit in 30.6 size) has been faultless for 10 months with plenty of use.

whaaaa! fukin genius!
did it spread evenly? or did you center the back wheel somehow? alignments and all ?

RSP 27.2 dropper

The old dalek's condom? Its it a bit of a ball buster of the return?

So far all seems straight and good. I had a dummy axle in the rear dropouts

if you're not on the bike then yeah, it returns rather quickly
with your 75kg bod on the saddle the springiness is rather reduced

Is this the same one you demonstrated to me? Went up like the crack of a whip

yep
no hanging around on the singletrack for me, boss

What does the RSP look like without the condom??

ALso, is XLC any good? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/XLC-27-2MM-REMOTE-DROPPER-POST-EXTERNAL-27-2mm-x-345mm-Black/163239916229?hash=item2601db72c5:g:UasAAOSwLxpbjxVx:rk:1:pf:0

Alternatively I am looking at this Funn one. Funn is normally good quality right??

Think I've got one of those RSPs in the shed if you're keen. Will have a a look.

Yes please!
