Cheers!

@Sam: I resent paying 28 quid, the frame (incl handlebars, saddle, etc) was only 20 quid anyway! But cheers for the link.

@tynan: Don't actually have a drill... but yeah, that seems easiest. I was wondering if that was avoidable - I guess not.

Bloody security fittings! So, to borrow a drill...?

There isn't any custom charge to bring a bike into the UK from the NL...?

We are in the EU, a single market; the free movement of goods between states within that is a central legal right. Which is why you don't get to buy 'duty free' any more on journeys between countries within the EU

Went to take the seatpost out of a beater frame I've had for a while, and its got a fucking 5 sided allen key bolt.

Does anyone have any clue if the tools for these are available, or even better, they have one lying around? It looked about 5 or 6mm... I'm still in shock, I've never seen such a thing

The BB30 system requires special frames with a larger BB shell, so that the external BB system can work. So you could get an adapter for a BB30 frame to use a normal BB, but not the other way round.

I nearly made the same mistake.

Nice bit of kit for a good price, though... just not very useable for most people

Have you decided not to sell cranks? I'm being hopeful, they come for free with the chainring, right...?

I have some that are 3" rise, know that's not as much as you might be hoping for but these are about as big as they get without looking like clown bars.

They're the ones from this post

http://www.lfgss.com/thread34156.html

haven't used them since then, still at 15. PM if interested

I have a cheaper one. Black, pretty heavy, unknown make - think its for 700's but not sure? £20 in Hackney. Will post photo's if you're interested. Its a proper beater, was going to be the pub bike but i'm too lazy to sort it out, need the money more

As the title, really. If anyone has one that would be much appreciated.

Everything was a bargain.

nutz, I admire your optimism, I wish the thread wasn't so old too... but it is

seconds on the EAI... shit i'm annoyed i missed that by 1m

Yeah, I've prob got a few. Let me dig something out tonight. Will be scruffy, but free. JIS (shimano BB) square taper, right? Can take to central one day this week if that helps? Send me a PM to sort it out

^^^

yeah that's what i was hoping...?

Any suggestion on a new price?

Re doing a template, it wouldn't help that much as long as the perforations for stiches are evenly spaced, and match each side so the leather aligns. The only measurement you actually need is the width of the strip, which you can work out by wrapping a bit of leather round your bars. Then just do a straight line... then make the cuts for stitches about every 1cm evenly spaced.

Having done it, I can safely say the difficult bit is cutting the leather perfectly straight, it has a tendency to shift while you cut it. I used a stanley knife and a ruler but it wasn't too easy. If you can get something to grip the leather and hold it taut that would help.

Slightly late to reply, but in the interests of a complete thread...

yeah I did the stitched method. It's quite difficult to do neatly, and you need to shell out on nice thick thread (harder than you think to find). The trick is to get thick leather, and to cut the shape out perfectly so that it stretches to just cover the bars. And pre-cut all the little holes for the thread. That's the hardest bit, actually. Then follow a cross-stitch pattern, using two needles, and stitch up to perfection... I got the leather for free by asking for off-cuts in a shop near Brick lane. I re-did it another time, but couldn't be arsed with the effort so bought a premade kit from freshtripe. slightly better results, but less satisfying.

Now that's off my chest. Carry on...

Thanks - will check them out

My freshly bought goldtec front hub has no nuts. Having been told that the nuts that come from Goldtec are shit (and they never answer emails etc anyway, I'm still waiting for a reply about a silver rear), is there anywhere else where I can get these, or a equivalent, from?

Or if anyone wants to sell me their spares, that would be even better.

Of course, I've been UTFS-ing for a while but no luck, and google hasn't been much use either.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Andy

How's the puncture protection on the 650 conti's? I really, really hate punctures...

dibs Paul lever

Might have one coming off my bike, 3/32 and used though.

Won't be available for a day or two (changing drive over to 1/8" once my new cog arrives), let me know if you'll need it.

Where are you located? Will take the tyre and tube if you aren't too far off, I'm based Hackney/Mile End

hola,

what bcd is the sugino chainring? I'm guessing 144, although i'd love it not to be

Out of interest, did you buy the single rim from somewhere round here or buy the wheel built up? I had one go missing in the mail when I was living in Mile end about 18months ago. Got refunded from ebay seller so not bothered, but just wondered... I always thought what would happen to one campag mexico 68 rim, they aren't exactly common

Good wheels, they're like mine but not absolutely trashed... I've been hammering a set like this for the last 2 years and still in true
