Epic wtf thread for that

Wild. Can't believe you did that to a Honzo! Very cool though

Haha!

Dropped on a remote island with the other wrong'uns

Very nice

Very nice though - what's the headset which looks like an external bottom bracket?

So even The Hulsroy can have bad days?! Maybe he is human after all. Chilli, hanger and faceplate thing all look good to me. Stickers aren't horrendously off, are they? Ok the top one isn't centred...

Klamper front and Spyre rear, as suggested by Mashton

But the mismatch 😟

Yep this is cool

Two probably obvious questions - does this fold, and what's the front hub? Nice work getting it rolling again!

Any more pics of the Bullitt and Soma? Both are probably aspirational bikes for me!

And why is Farage not doing surgeries in Clacton?

Probably because he doesn't give a flying fuck about the constituents of Clacton

What should I replace them with, without replacing the brifters and drive train?

BB7 Road (as opposed to BB7 MTN) calipers - the only caveat being that the rear caliper body may protrude far enough to be grazed by a heel, depending on your brake placement/frame size/shoe size/other factors

Avid BB7s are the poor man's choice of cable discs vs. Klampers, but in my experience BB7s have been excellent - even used successfully for an Alps trip. However I'm not a serious black run DHer, more blues and cruise with the odd red. It's definitely proper off road though! And they've had a lot of UK cross country use with no complaints. They only pull one side of the caliper in, with a static pad inboard, but are pretty easy to tweak when needed.

For best results use compressionless outers, neatly cut with good ferrules, and decent pads such as Uberbike Race Matrix.

Something like this ?

SJS usually have the necessary widget - worth asking them directly if you can't see it online

This just needs to hold until Wednesday

But could end up lasting three years. Excellent bodge.

Impressive stuff - looks excellent

Not a popular opinion but I think there's something to be said for living in a space so you understand it probably before jumping into work.

But it should be a popular opinion (in MY opinion...) - if a place is livable with no major issues, which to me includes maybe rank wallpaper you don't like, a dated bathroom or slightly threadbare carpets, it seems mad to start ripping stuff out/making a mess/firing the money gun before you've worked out how you live in it and what's most important to you.

Each to their own of course and if someone's got a dream plan they're confident with and the bank balance to see it through, fire away I guess.

A dynamo set up would be the reliable answer - doesn't have to be super costly. I've actually got a (non-disc) hub and a set of front/rear lights I'm going to sell if you're interested in building/having a wheel built.

Jumping in on this, I've found Uberbikes Race Matrix pads (the white ones) to be very good on my BB7s. Good overall thickness and bite.

Much satisfaction through the internet. A decent (perhaps wire instead of nylon?) bottle brush can work wonders cleaning out a seat tube, if the bottom bracket is removed as well to catch and evacuate rust

Any pics of it on the bike?

Where are you? Not the easiest things to post...

Ha, the old failure of sarcasm to come through via the written word - I was indeed attempting to agree with @Jonny69 about everyone boring on over there about whatever bands they did or did not like.
