    Anybody got a set or even just a front brake lying around?

    Can pay or swap for some short reach calipers (shimano sora or weinman)

    hey, haven't been or posted on here in ages so thought i'd say hi.

    hey guys, tried and failed to make it down to unicorn on sat for my first spin with the dropouts. Had a series of mechanicals and was 20mins late. boooooooooo :(

    ended up doing 50miles on my todd which was lovely especially with those lovely spring winds
    mmmmmmmmmmm

    anyway im gonna be going out every saturday to do a similar distance in the peaks setting off from south manchester at a reasonable time 10.30 - 12 noon if anyone wants to keep on it between the monthly rides. Would really appreciate the company/slipstream ;)

    not expecting a massive response as im pretty much unknown on here, but as they say

    hey,

    been riding in and around manchester for ages now with various geared road bikes. Decided its time to make a fixie/beater for going round town (pub!) to take the strain off my roadie. Just in the process of building it up now, 80's emmelle road frame, cheap components, cant wait! ;)

    maybe not as fancy, but I have a lovelly 531, unsure of the maker but the lugs are very nice, with really nice paint job from Bill Cuss, bike shop in Kent.
    63cm seatpost
    long horifantal dropouts, so perfect for conversion
    £70

    sounds great rik, do you have any pictures?

    Really glad to find this forum, chapeau! Been riding varying qualities of geared road bikes for years for commuting and lesuire. Was just ready (ie all parts ready) to convert my old steel raliegh equipe frame when the head tube cracked (horendously, "why does my bike feel like a boat?"). My search for a new frame brought me here and i am mighty impressed, more forums should rock this style of moderation administration. BTW I live in manchester.
