RPM I was referring to the original poster

Yes, you are probably right.

I would have come but I was tied up showing a bunch of idiots on fixed wheel bikes how close to a lorry I could skid.

And they didn't even buy me a beer ?

RPM come on guys, I think he was joking, or at least being intentionally incredulous.

If you refer to 'nor_feest:' you are probably right, hence my proviso.

If you refer to 'the-smiling-buddha' I am not so sure (I am sure he can clarify) - but it does sound like the typical argument from ignorance.

nor_feest dunno about where you all live but up here in newcastle its raining has been all bloody summer, infact the weather is so shite today its like october, it's even cold and windy !

Firstly before I put my foot in my mouth (and then out my arse and back around into my mouth again) I will presume your post is serious.

So. . . . .

You would appear to know very little about what global warming is, if fact it seems you only know the term and not what the implications are.

the-smiling-buddha how do they differentiate between warming due to natural trends and cycles and warming due to man made activity

What do you think ?

An admitted lack knowledge on a subject you wish to question is a poor start to any argument.

the-smiling-buddha I mean I all for renewable resources, protecting the environment, energy saving and wot not, basically because it makes common sense

but man made Global Warming in many circles is taken as a 'given' and I ain't all that sure that it has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt

I mean you watch Al Gore's inconvenient truth and you got to be honest

there is considerable amount of bullshit in that movie

So you do start to wonder

Argument from ignorance + ad hominem.

I would accuse you of presenting a poor argument, but this is the wrong kind of forum for that kind of thing and you have not presented an argument.

I have bought stuff from charliethebikemonger in the past, pretty reliable.

trampsparadise What's the deal with mismatching wheels these days?

I going to punt a guess that its a stylistic hangover from the original courier/messenger workhorses that where thrown together from various found/stolen and borrowed parts.

I kinda' like it.

I might do my £30 Shopper up in the Rapha team design :P

peejay78 listen to you lot go on.

most of you on here can easily afford a pair of rapha gloves to leave next to your brand new powermac whilst you wank away on quark.

Powermacs are very last year don't cha know, Apple has not made a powermac for a while now, it is all Mac Pros now with Intel chips.

And as for wanking away on quark, I think you will find most wanking is done in Adobe InDesign.

MInd you the Rapha gloves might provide extra purchase during a particularly energetic session.

RPM it's condors track frame, that's all.

So it is ! They have the same frame but with a red and white graphic (blocks) on the side, I think it looks pretty nice in the Rapha design, any how enough dreaming I must get back to reconditioning my £30 'Puch' Shopper.

eeehhhh [quote]leeww Nice Rapha track frame ! Any one know how much these babies cost ??

Just look in the Rapha catalogues online![/quote]

I looked, but all I could find was lots of hats, socks, gloves and jerseys in pink ! - No bikes.

Looks very posh, lots of carbon, probably a couple of grand ?

vegansdontneedgears im going to the USA soon, i might be able to hook people up with hard to get stuff.

Nice offer, much appreciated, post here if you find any. :)

wayne_f14 top piece of 'animation' as well

ride on

and scroll down a bit

That's my 'top of the range' comedy photoshop job, international single speed fame at last. ):)

Nice Rapha track frame ! Any one know how much these babies cost ??

leeww Where can you get customs decals made up ?

A guy I work for was talking about a place that does decals for a coupla quid, will find out and let you know...[/quote]

As my little brother said to me only yesterday "That would be fucking ace !"

kowalski [quote]leeww I have also looked at the Dolan Track Champion, very similar looking set up, but with slightly slacker angles than the Bianchi, might just do the trick.

Slacker angles.

That's one way of putting it....[/quote]

:)

You have five hours to bag this Twenty (it is currently sitting at £10) It is actually a Nova, but basically the same thing - It also doesn't look as though you would have to do anything to it.

Green Raleigh Nova

There are normally a few 20's around if you have a trawl through ebay.

JOL You mean these?

Yep ! they are the ones, I have a set on my single speed MTB (not sure if the pull is too much too little for non-MTB, but should be fine with some fiddling).

They are the lightest brakes in the world ! Even lighter than the legendary Steinbach carbon levers and certainly a whole lot stiffer + they are tiny (a 1 or 2 finger job).

They have just be re-released and now have a cool little red adjustment screw (whilst still keeping that ridiculous low weight) - and one other cool thing is that all the bolts are alloy chain ring bolts so you can put your own colored ones on.

That's as much as I can say about it without falling asleep.

I have some data that I need analyzing:

What do you think ?

pip Haven't seen anyone dealing with Pista Concepts in the UK yet. Don't believe Bianchi are distributing them here, but I bet you could get one ordered from one from the states.

What are you looking for exactly? If you want a track specific machine then lots of places do them. Here are a small selection:

Planet X - http://www.planet-x-bikes.com/track/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=106. Can probably supply you a lot of the kit.
Dolan - Track champ, Pursuit champ - http://www.bikes-dolan.uk.com
Fort Frames - a sprint and an Aero/Persuit
Pinarello - Pista Alu, Prince Alu
Fuji Track Pro - http://www.awcycles.co.uk/brands/Fuji/Track_Pro_complete_bike_package/7485/index.aspx
Specialized Langster S-work
Omnium Sling
Ridley Oval
Nelson - http://www.cyclebasket.com/products.php?plid=m4b0s213p0
and on and on...

Cheers for all the great info pip ! :)

I see they have the Bianchi Pista Concept on the US Bianchi website but not the UK/European one. :(

Still like you say, I could always order one from the US, I wonder if I could do it through a Bianchi dealer here in the United States of Britain ?

I have also looked at the Dolan Track Champion, very similar looking set up, but with slightly slacker angles than the Bianchi, might just do the trick.

Nice

Lee

Anyone know where I can find a Bianchi Pista Concept frameset in the UK ?

Failing that anywhere online ?

And failing that, anyone know where I might find a complete bike either here in the UK or anywhere else ?

Done the whole google thing, with no luck :(

Thanks for any information, much appreciated.

Set up as a single thread - this is not an ideal format for a swap/trade gathering point.

It would be better if there was another sub-forum where individual items - up for trading/swapping - had their own thread.

Just an idea.

Whadyareckon ?

skoota Hi there, has anyone got a 1 1/4 inch headset knocking about from the early 90's? I have a mountain bike i am fixing up?

No. . .

But I have a brand new Klein MC3 stem in 1 - 1/4 if you are interested.
