  Just in case you might want to see how gorgeous it could look when built up:

  Taken! Thanks for looking.

  Sorry, should have mentioned that rear hub is not threaded for a lockring, i.e. for fixed use would have to be used suicide-style or have the freewheel welded up.

  Have an old pair of wheels I don't need, only problem is the funny sizing (particularly rear OLN / axle length), but might be of use to someone:
  26in rims
  front: alloy rim, OLN c.95mm, axle length 135mm, axle diameter unknown, nuts included
  rear: chromed ?steel rim, OLN c.110mm, axle length 150mm, axle diameter unknown, nuts included
  tyres can be included if you like; very cheap (albeit seemingly new) 18t freewheel on the rear hub
  Ideally you'd collect them from Finchley Road tube station. Free to anyone who wants them.

  i saw this website a while back to check out the frames towards the bottom of the site lots of jf wilson frames plus other goodies dotted in amongst them range of sizes tubing types and styles

  just shield your eyes before you look at the paint jobs though !!

  My first, current and only fixed is a French blue Wilson frame that I found through his web site - love it to bits, it's only 501 but handles like a dream. Nigel Wilson is also a true gentleman and provides an excellent service. I keep thinking that when I'm rich I'll go back to him and have him make me a track frame.

  Ah, looks like I've just bought a stem on eBay, so I don't need another one now. The Nitto Technomics remains available for a good swap - anything considered.

  Have a Nitto Technomics 1in quill stem, clamp size 26.0mm, length 110mm. Bottom of the shaft has been sanded very slightly to fit into a tight frame, but don't think this will be a problem for others. NB this is a very tall stem, which is why I am not using it. See hubjub for details (though mine is the older type, and even taller).

  Would like: 1in quill stem, clamp size 26.0mm, length 80mm or less.

• Light Blue Argos?

  Overdrive I think we spoke briefly going along Oxford Street ages ago, and you misheard a comment I made about Argos bikes and assumed it to be some ignorant slight! I was mortified! (Particularly as I'm from Bristol, the home of Argos!)

  While we're at it, who's the guy on the red/black/bullhorns fixed who commutes via Finchley Road and Regent's Park east side? In his 30s, curly blond hair, no helmet, Ortlieb bag?

  Docus: it's yours, no swap needed. If you can work out how to 'private message' me on here ('whisper'?), send me your postal address and I'll pop it in a jiffy in a jiffy.
