Had this for around 8 months. Bought it for use on and off the bike but after trying a friend's FR235 I've decided I'd rather get one of them than replace the HRM strap I left in Hong Kong in October.

Great condition, comes with box, charger, quick release mount set and a black BarFly out front mount. No strap as it's in Hong Kong somewhere.

Any Hong Kong tattoo recommendations?

Any recommendations of artists in Amsterdam? Looking for some script-like text for my next two. Must be able to spell :/

My latest addition, "The General".

Tomorrow is new tattoo day for me. Pretty excited. Had one finished (after a 2 month wait) on Thursday so loads of needles lately.

They used a dressing called Dermalize on the most recent one. Stays on for 24 hours and then if you want you can continue to use more of them. Minimal scabbing and quick healing. Worth a look.

Any recommendations on a reasonable first bike? I'd planed on getting a Yamaha XJ-6N (mostly around £3200-3,500). Happy for other suggestions though.

Not possible. The l-bracket has a thread on it as does the seat tube attachment. I've got a simple non-threaded l-bracket coming from SJS that'll hopefully sort it.

Here are the photos.

I recently bought some BLB mudguards, the flat alloy ones, to out on my BLB Track thinking it'd be a straightforward job. My clearance was pretty tight so added a link into the chain but there's absoljtely Jo chance they'll fit with 23c tyres. To get enough clearance the wheel would have to be out the back of he dropouts.

The bracket I've got is as in the instructions but any photos I've seen on the Internet have the mudguard much much closer to the seat tube than you could achieve with this setup.

Any tips?

Second tattoo. Done 6 days after the first.

Posting here totally slipped my mind. Had this done on Thursday by TanyaDSM at AKA in Berlin. First tattoo. Looks awfully lonely though so the second will follow quickly once back home.

Anyone have a Made by Knock Feldgrind and have any opinions on it? I'm after something fairly portable but more consistent than my Porlex mini.

This has probably been asked already but anyone know any good artists in Berlin?

i think the best option might be to get the bike as close to £1000 as possible to get the bike2work saving and then add the Shimano front wheel and lights of my choosing.

Quick question about lighting. The two Dynamo optiona, Shimano and SON, are vastly different prices. Is the benefit entirely weight or is the SON hub better at power generation?

After some recent trips to Berlin, I don't see the point in a commuting bike without Dynamo lights now.*

*even though I have two exposure Joysticks.

To be honest I'm not sure if/when he'll be taking orders. When I ordered this he seemed keen to opening it up but I talked to him yesterday and now I think he's wanting avoid having to deal with orders for people he doesn't know.

Head tube badge still to go on.

That's everything ordered and on the way. This is the final build list:

Cassette SRAM PG1170
Chain SRAM PC1170
Chainset SRAM CX1
Derailleur SRAM CX1

Brake Lever SRAM CX1

Rear Hub Hope Pro 2 28h QR
Front Hub Hope Pro 2 28h QR
Spokes Sapim Race
Rims Stans Alpha 400

Tyres Challenge Grifo Open

Handlebars 3T Ergosum Pro (40cm)
Handlebar Tape Cinelli Mike Giant

Next piece of the puzzle. Quite a few other parts coming this week and the frame is now completed also.

My girlfriend currently has the turbo below but is looking for something quieter. She doesn't want to spend much more than £150. I'm assuming a fluid trainer might be a good idea. Any recommendations?

Forgot about this thread. Passed my mod 2 on Monday.

Jim isn't mking the frames commercially available at this point and this is still a prototype so pricing isn't really representative of a production frame.

It's been a while but the frame is now in production.

Is there any particular reason to avoid this retailer? Their pricing on the new Felt Fx series bikes is considerably lower than all the UK retailers and they're showing stock of some of the bikes which all UK retailers are out of.

Looks too good to be true and usually that's because it is. I had a wee search and didn't find anything though I'm sure I've read in these pages about ensuring you pay with a credit card so you can chargeback the cash if they mess you around. Don't know if it's bike-discount.de or another retailer though.

Anyone have any recommendations for a black leather rallye strap for a Speedmaster? Apparently there's a genuine Omega one but it's a bit too much dorrah.
