    There are some VERY narrow minded people here...

    What you on about? Have you looked at that link?

    No, have YOU looked at that link, this bloke needs backers to help fund his project and guess what, hes overshot his pledge goal by nearly $30,000 with still 16 days left to go, whatever happens this bloke has got this one in the bag and will make a nice amount of money with this. Not to mention that this is kickstarter, for those who don't know, to even reach your pledge goal on kickstarter is an achievement let alone smash the target.

    As far as the narrow minded ones in here, you don't seem to appreciate the fact that this is a first account of someone's idea, its a new beginning to a new source of processing and manufacturing WHICH can lead to better designs. I'm happy for him and as far as i'm concerned, hes managed to put into practice a lightweight material that is strong and fit for purpose for future development. Just because it's long and thin and maybe a bit too big and you can't fit it in your little holsters round your belt doesn't mean it can't do the task in hand.

    i could cut through that with my wit alone

    oh dear...

    Well there seems to be many sizes that could be the right one which makes it harder!

    Hello hello

    Just wondering does anyone know the size of the 1981 mystique seat tube size? I have a 27.2 but that seems too tight, it fits perfect up until the main tubing about an inch down. I have some vernier callipers but it wont reach down that far. 26.8 seems not enough and its bugging me! Is there a common seat tube size?

    Here my little side project while I'm at uni - nothing mad just building for an A to B

    the frame was stripped, sanded and is now back from the spray shop and is a lovely colour I chose! will keep that under wrapped until later.

    Hello hello

    I got some sr apex cranks that I'd like to use for single speed fixed gear and I was wondering if they are sufficient or even strong enough. They are the type where the crank arm is pressed onto the outer chainring (not bolted) I read somewhere that it is more suitable to use the bolted chain ring but im just enquiring whether these can be used safely for fixed geared bikes for the time being.

    The cranks are a bit like this one, how ever I won't be using the inside chainring
