Dear All,
Been on the forum for long time but not posted for years. I've got a problem with adjusting a threaded headset. The adjustable toprace can't be held with a spanner it's completely smooth and just has a sort of dimple on either side. I presume you need a tool along the lines of this:

But this has four pins and I need one with 2. Has anyone seen anything like this? Or know what I could use to hold it still while a tighten the lock nut.

Cheers

If I was you I wouldn't get either. Anyone can get a Mercian or a BJ. I'd wait for something really special to come up something a bit more rare with a bit more history behind it like a Gillott or a Hetchins or Maclean, Hobbs of Barbican, Harrison something like that. But that's just me.

if you're going to Nunhead then you can call in on Boris Karloff at 36 Forest Hill Road
East Dulwich.

I wouldn't get anything too flash it'll just get nicked!

Article about Youngs in last issue of Veteran Cycle club mag. Can scan it and send you if you're interested.

Yes, an area that had Gillots and Harrisons within half a mile of where Wilson's is now has nothing really apart from Edwardes.

Yes it's still open. They just sell bike bits and some unknown brand bicycle-like things now.

I got one in Decathlon for less than 20 which works pretty well. It's plastic but fairly robust.

cost should not be a consideration. whether it is 80quids or 800. as Oscar Wilde said the young people of today know the cost of everything and the value of nothing (something like that)

I don't like it!

i think if you like small bikes a 53 will be OK, better to be small than big.

Definitely agree with this having spend a whole heap of cash at the oesteopaths fixing back and elbow problems caused by riding a bike that was too big.

I went to British School of Oesteopathy at Borough with back and elbow problems. It's cheap but you get seen by students. I saw a different one every week (because they were ill or skiving) and spent half of each session repeating symptons etc. I'm sure that some people get great treatment there but I think you take your chances.

you can get some ALHONGA Deep Drop calipers (dual pivot) they are about 20quid

but you'll need to check whether you need a nut fitting.

saw a guy last night behind South Bank Uni wearing threequarter length flared dungarees on a fixie

first post!
saw a guy this morning at the junction of Lyndhurst Way and Peckham Road on a nice brown fixie looked like a charge plug (can you get a brown one?) with a brooks saddle. he ran the lights, got stuck in the middle of the road and couldn't get his sidi back in the pedal to make it to the other side. didn't spoil the overall effect though.
