Hi all,
I'm getting a frame painted in the next week or so, and am after some 531 decals , it's a 70s track frame so something of that era would be good, but not essential
If no one has any, suggestions of shops / online where might be worth looking at a decent price
Cheers
Try here......great quality

Got a late 70's (77-78 i think?) Tom Bromwich track frame refurb nearing completion needing some bits to complete.....would like to keep as much of it as period as possible.
Pair of good track hubs of similar era
Chainring for my Gipiemme pista cranks - 1/8th - 46t or 48t
Set of bars (up to 26mm clamp diameter)
Cheers

Hi Scorch
New member who can't PM....... patiently waiting to be set free. The rear hub may be of interest. Do you have any pictures of the actual hub??

Cyclists have been getting the view from HGVs for a while now. TfL are keen to get drivers on bikes to see things from the cyclists perspective:
TfL's submission to JAUPT, the accrediting body for driver CPC training has now been approved. This means that courses which get these drivers on bikes and look at how they can share the road with cyclists and minimise the risk to cyclists and other road users, will count towards their compulsory professional development training (CPC).
Cycle Training UK, and 2 other cycle training companies together with specialist driver training companies are rolling out this training in some London Boroughs this Autumn.
It has taken a while for JAUPT to approve this excellent Road Danger Reduction measure which completes the Changing Places loop. Getting the drivers on bikes should really help towards minimising the lorry danger (and perhaps even encourage some drivers to take up cycling)
New to this forum and this caught my eye...........I'm in a position to influence the strategic direction of driver CPC training in a large multi-national. Power to this thread.......this has really struck a chord with me and the "changing places" from TFL makes a whole lot of sense to me. It's now on my agenda......a shared understanding of each others issues works for me.
PS I'm a life long roadie and the day job may just qualify as "the other side of the argument !!

Hi everyone,
I'm Robin, relatively new to the word of fixed riding, having finished a conversion in January. It started of as an old (late80s?) raleigh equipe which was in a right state, pretty happy with how it turned out although I learned that I should not paint my own frames - covered in chips already! It also involved modifying the dropouts which was a ballache but worth it... I'm based in North Wales - don't know if there are many members up here?? Also spend a bit of time in edinburgh and SE London every now and then...Looking forward to contributing
Hi Robin,
I'm based in Edinburgh........if you ever need any bike related help up here drop me a PM and I'll try to help
