vegansdontneedgears go some place long flat and empty, ride like hell, then throw the hardest skid of your life, with out the lock ring on. you might want to wear a helmet.

Strangly looking forward to this, Haverstock runway it is

as quiet as a MOUSE..perhaps[/quote]
Not me I was wheeling my bike along Brick lane wearing a pair of women's jeans, vans and with a courier bag slung over my shoulder (mint condition, brim full of Apple products) :op[/quote]

lol! How did you manage to roll up those tight ass jeans?

Last wknd I broke my dura ace chain whip trying to release my 17t cog to change to a 19t to help save my knees... its fookin welded on... anyone had this problem & know how to get it off... I was at complete breaking point pushing with all my weight and it wouldn't give . I was pushing the right way I think;-]

How much did you get?

You can get a new one on amazon for £89

... scope for a lot of o.n.o.

They manage fine in China no? Happy faces everywhere

...It's all about those saved pennies

Frames are more exciting and harder to come buy at a good price. It doesn't give me a warm feeling inside bulk buying toilet roll from Aldi even although I know I've saved money & I'm not gonna get caught short again for a while. However, getting something more exciting like a frame and saving money will give me a warm feeling and the saving margin will be greater.

If I am being obstreperous I will zip it & let you guys get on with it.

It would have to be something more substantial in price than tubes & tires to make it worth while... otherwise I'm certain it would be rather a lot of organizing for not a lot of return unless we are buying shitloads individually. Yes wearable items will always need replaced, but bulk buying frames is a better idea cause they are harder to come buy at a good price and they are more interesting than brake pads imo

If it was frames, I'd be up for this... IRO, Panasonic, Bareknuckle, Steamrollers... all good!

Sano HAHAHA!

My missus has been talking the piss out of me, nervously checking an empty screen every ten minutes...

She's right, I'm a fucking dork...

ditto... fellow dork here! I had shakes & everything!

Is it possible to true a wheel with a spokey when the spokes are all knotted up like that? Or do you have to take it all apart each time?

Brooklyn Jack Crank You can get black suginos fuckin anywhere man. Well, anywhere online. Buy em from the US, our money's worth not a damned thing.

It's the anodized bronze ones in the picture I'm after not black innit, jamone

more speed = more punters = more revenue.

I imagine they'll have to stop it early tonite to strap it up with fireworks

no offence, but why do you have a £30 RPM crankset, when you have a £17 EAI cog, bling £'s brooks saddle... etc???[/quote]

...Yep I know rpm is budget pressed tin, but I bought this bike second hand in pieces... frame/ fork / bb / rpm crankset and have just sourced the missing parts so far. This will be sorted in the near future with either Miche or Sugino.

At the moment they serve a purpose and they're black, so leave my cranks alone part comparison man! (oh and it's actually a polished £25 EAI cog p.c.m;-)

I was actually thinking about getting these, but they're long sold out... or are they... anyone?

I've been working on this for a while now as and when cash is available... it's 2/3's there. Just waiting for some transfers I designed to arrive and then its off to Armourtex for a light grey powder coat & lacquer. Will post again once it's done

If you see me at the lights say hi!

Sorry for posting in the wrong thread guys, I'm new.

edit
bike moved to names & faces

I'm sad that I missed it. I will come on the next for sure!

I totally agree with you about the supplied components for the rrp, I got mine for a price that helped me to deal with that fact. Re. the bb... it's definitely a shimano, and a bad one at that... I've never had such a noisy bike before. What is the JIS bb you mention... is this a good product?

I don't get the skid patches thing... does this mean your wheel skids on one of 17 patches a bit like a 17 sided wheel?

I'd actually really like to come on the ride tonite and I have my clunky bike at work and everything. It's running freewheel at the moment & sounds clunky so I'm gonna feel like a bit of a fanny next to all your refined steeds, but if I'm doing a jig anyway I don't think it'll make much difference. I know where and when it starts so I'll decide between now & then.

You guys are ok you know

I do believe that it is a square taper bb. Thank you for your advice btw... I wish I could help you guys in return but my bike knowledge is limited in comparison. Maybe I will turn up at bike polo & do an entertaining jig

Thanks for your comments guys. Re. the noisy bb, I have already taken it out, regreased & tightened and it still clunks. I read on another forum that the one supplied with the Cdale Capo is notoriously poor quality so I want to replace it with a quality item... any suggestions for one that will fit this bike... I don't know what size it is cause I'm a bit rubbish:-(
