    Nice one guys, just never heard of them and wanted an opinion. I woulda powder coated my pug but its a shit old carbolite frame with French threading so wanted to get something British so it's easier to get parts for it. Cheers.

    Hi I've got a old pug fixed gear but want to build a much nicer singlespeed and been looking at the foffa prima frameset. I wanna do it in dark green and as they already come in that colour thought it might be a good frame to build on? Anyone have any experience with them? Do you think I could get a better frame and have it powder coated for less than £239 they charge?

    That's what I've done, I got the White plastic one in the photo but the length of it is so short it stops about 4 inches short of my seat stay where I would have to connect it unfortunately. Anyone had much luck with wrapping the chain in split wire loom?

    Cheers for the replys guys. The problem is the length of the guard and how steep the curve is where it bends around the chainring. It finishes about 4 inches away from my seatstay which means I'd have very long cable ties holding it.

    Bought that guard and doesn't bloody fit! Getting irritated now, any help guys? Don't really wanna get a whole new frame just so I can have a chainguard.

    Ok so I've got an old Peugeot which has French threading, want a full chainguard or at least a hockey style one but unfortunately I've got a 52t chainring and can't find anywhere that does them for chainrings that big.

    Was gonna just get a smaller chainring but have a 122bcd I believe which can't really find a smaller chainring for. Any of you guys had any luck with modifying guards? Nice ones At velo orange but only up to 48t.
