^D'oh! Hippy knows all.. about brake pads. I also like Fibrax ones..

If they have an alum. braking surface then Skyway pads are a waste of time... try Kool-Stop Salmon ones? ..Basically try everything.

Try some of those old Skyway BMX pads.. for Mag wheels. NOS might mean££s
Or you can stop calling it a 'front brake' and start with the 'front seasonally-optimised velocity-modulation device' as noone wants to lock up their front wheel on a wet road!

too slooow - okay... Will take that as a sign I should do some work instead!

No hate, mate - just dry humour... :-D
I suppose that I've spent too much time reading threads on here and consequently think all the possible info is on this forum somewhere!
Good luck with the search, I understand how looong it can be to get the right frame in the right size.. I was bikeless and desperate for weeks!

boooorrrrring. Size? track-ish? Jos? Roberto? Kiwicycles? Aerospok dude?
I know it's Sunday but jeez - there are enough threads about where to get a frame.

Jake I know I'm being pretty lazy, but I'm just after someone to say 'yeah I have one for sale'...
So, anyone got one for sale/can link me to something they've seen?

There is a spocalc for openoffice (free!) it has a fancy-schmancy toolbar thing.

^ Come on... tell us what you really think! ;-)
The guy wants an aluminium streetish ride.. I dont know all the options available, but I'm sure teamrod has googled and googled...

@ Evilmonkey - your bike has inspired me to write a haiku:
Do not be afraid.
Raise your saddle to the sky!
But ensure flatness..

@Hippy - Theres a 650c spinergy tubular on Ebuy for £115 buy it now. How much did you pay - 1/3rd of thatish?
Keep it whilst it appreciates in value... till 2030 when lo-pro frames come back into fashion and the world has run out of carbon fibres.

Give it a get-well-soon spoke card?
I feel sorry for it - stuff a plastic bag in the opening as a hint to the owner...

Guessing!:
Frame+forks - £300
Components - £???
Paintjob - £180 (lug lining and/or box lining + decals)
Owning a Hetchins - £pricey
;-)

EDITED so I dont looks stupid.

Hey jv, If you buy one can you order that top-left one for me and get seller to combine postage? I will obviously reimburse you - do you need a matching pink bottle cage? ;-)

Protect your saddle? 80s vintage? Check out these retro Selle Italia / Iscaselle lycra covers..

Obviously the pink one is PERFECT - but the first / last one are so kitsch I think I want one?! I am a child of the 80s though..

@OCD - theres another Cyclopedia on Fulham road - could be a bit closer for you...
http://www.cyclopediauk.com/stores.asp

OCD - the nearest 2 cycle shops I know are Cyclopedia on High Street Ken North side at the cinema end near Holland Park, and one other roughly Earls court roadish way but it's pretty small near to police station next to a cafe...
Actually there may be one in Fulham / Chelsea, but I've never seen it!
Thursdays rock - yeah!

I drank a couple of pints of 'Autumn Blaze' on the weekend- I think I liked it...?
It's not Xmas yet!

You can use a 700c rear wheel if you dont run a rear brake!?
You may experience more pedal-strike than before..

Just popped into my head - no offense intended! :-D
