Some seatpost binder bolts are in two pieces that thread into each other. Carefully cutting the centre would allow the two pieces to be removed. Post a picture if you want someone to confirm.

These framesets have become much more desirable and the RRP has increased a lot too.
I expect it would sell easily fit 230 elsewhere so if no-one here wants it at 200 they'll be waiting a long time fora cheaper one.

tubes need to be round-section I guess
Well, if they aren't round beforehand they will be afterwards :)

Remove front wheel. Place the bike on carpet/soft ground. Put your foot against the headtube, grab the fork leg with your hand and pull. Place a true wheel in the fork and check alignment. Repeat until done.

Agree with all the others. That's a £3-450 bike to my mind and I wouldn't have been surprised to see it sell for a little less either.
I would look out for a Mercian, Yates or many other UK small volume/custom builders, or even a Raleigh Randonneur or Dawes Galaxy, in addition to BJ.

I would defer to your greater knowledge of the LFGSS subgenres but it looks like the Hipster Sled cap fits to me. Whatever it is, it is not FBNPNA.
So I keep coming across bikes like this I like, they're not porn, not
anti, not rat/beater/frankenbikes, trick, Lo-Pros or polo bikes...So I thought it was about time we had a thread to discuss and admire
our favourite guilty pleasures... I'm not talking HHSB as in colour
coded everything, supreme stickers and ironic saddle angle.... Just
something kind of awesome that you would actually own or ride.Welcome to the HHSB thread!
Are the base measurements the calculators are giving for the hub and rims the same? It's always good to check that the measurements in the databases are close to the parts you have, even a ruler or measuring tape can be used to check a hub approximately. Similarly, is useful to be able to check the erd yourself, although that rim is common and you should find the erd confirmed on one cycling forum or another if there is discrepancy between the calculators.
I like freespoke. https://www.kstoerz.com/freespoke/
What calculators are you using and what are the results given?
