  Hi chickin. If you mean Roscoe Street,Liverpool. It is actually 20miles from where I live.
  I am going into the City in a week or so,I will check it out.
  My reference to L'pool in my forum ID is because I was born there in September of 1945. Yes I am an old sod & probably the direct result of my father coming home from The Middle East for Christmas leave 1944 and New Year celebrations for 1945.

  Hi to you all out there. Can anyone point me in the direction of spacers for behind my fixed sprockets .
  I am guessing that they are going to have an internal diameter of 33.7mm,the hub is a Miche Primato.
  The45Rooster(from L'pool) AKA The Cycling Rooster is back on Fixed Wheel after a 46 year abstention. The bike is kitted out with a "Fail Safe" rear brake as well as the obligatory front brake.
  I have built up a 49cm Fuji Track Frame with Mavic CXP33 rims on Miche Primato hubs and a 52T Stronglight Chainring on 140mm crank arms.
  Hopefully my next communication does not come via a lap-top from a hospital bed.

  This is neat.A little 'Hetchins' esk.The lugwork also has a neat,not over-done look of Nervex from the 60's & 70's.

  Does anyone know if this saddle actually came out? I think it was a Selle Italia, and at a trade show or something. It makes my Stripped SLR look positively sluggish.
  Yes.

  The attention to detail on the Head Badge(Screw Slots lined up on the Black Machine) is wasted on crappy screws.The heads should have been Anodised Blue or Gold & Countersunk Raised Head style.The tape would have looked better in the colour of the rims,otherwise an interesting bit of transport .Is that a Brookes Swallow copy I see perched on the seat post?.Happy & Safe Riding to You All.

  Hi to you all out there and inparticular to cliveo.Cliveo I am somewhat disappointed to not see that you have seen the error of your ways and invested in Traditional Pedals with Toeclips and Straps and Nail On Plates.If your insurers find out that you have replaced your worn out cleats for the same system they may consider you negligent in your own safety and contributory when it happens again,AND IT WILL.With the old system security on the pedals was a vertual guarantee and even without plates but strapped in the feet could still be removed if required.Happy & Safe Riding to you All.To you inparticular:-cliveo.
