  Hi,

  As the title says I need a fork with a minimum 210mm of steerer tube.
  Not after anything super expensive but 531 or similar weight would be nice.

  Thanks

  Hi there,

  I won this frame today on ebay:

  Just wanted your opinion was to whether or not it was a decent buy or a mistake.
  The dent in the top tube doesn't look too bad but I'm no expert. The new looking paint job might suggest it has been crashed and resprayed though.
  Is the B in the lug typical of any particular frame manufacturer?
  BB threads look pretty clean like it hasn't had allot of use.

  Cheers

  I would leave it at least 48 hours minimum before you do your next set of coats, If not you will get crinkles from the next layer of paint drying at different rate to previous. Don't say I didn't warn you.

  Anyone that wants to watch the past stages in ITV I urge you to complain to ITV and Tour of Britain organisers. Here are the email addresses:

  robertsh@thetour.co.uk; bennettm@thetour.co.uk; jonesg@thetour.co.uk; lisa@thetour.co.uk; a.grant@sweetspotgroup.co.uk; brophyc@thetour.co.uk; accounts@thetour.co.uk; viewerservices@itv.com

  If ITV are going to bid (which I presume they did) for the right to air the tour then they better be prepared to live up to the expectation that they will put it on their catch up thing like the TOB website says they will.

  Bloody ITV fails to provide anything decent to watch yet again.
