• Frame repairs in London

  The ice-ruined roads of London have finally done for my bike. Snapped the chainstay clean through near the BB on the way home tonight. Not an expensive frame by any stretch, but I love riding it. Very sad if I have to send it to the big shed in the sky. Anyone got any reccomendations for repair, or if even worth thinking about repairing. Should I just bite the bullet & get a new frame?

  Dogsballs had opted for restraint. Can I tempt anyone else around the £160 mark?

  Ok. Yes, 36 hole low flange. No lockring. But they are lovely! I could have described them as dog sh*t, but they are closer to lovely :-)
  £200 I knew was high. Make me an offer. Dogsballs, you kno how much I told you I wanted; interested still? Anyone else, make me an offer via pm.
  They were for an old '50s frame with Keirin size dropouts, but I've sold that & really want to offload these to fund another project.

  A pair of lovely unused phil wood hubs. 110mm rear 100mm front. Not totally mint, but new and in great condition.

  I would like £200, but I will consider reasonable offers.

  Thanks

• What's your favourite gear ratio?

  I have been thinking of putting something easier on it, but where would the fun be in that? Maybe I'll try the archway/highgate route home on it soon and see if its possible!

  I'm riding my first ever single speed after a lifetime of multi-gears. Its 52 front and 13 back. Takes some shifting when starting on a hill, but lovely passing most other people on a nice long straight. Hills are becoming less taxing as my thighs increase in diameter.
  Only thing, its a little less agile than I'm used to when darting through static traffic.

  Gonna build me a fixie next - got the frame and the BB all ready to go.
