sure, no probs

hassan, there is a second hand shop near me that had a rotel amp recently for about £40, might still be there

there was a vid on youtube of some kid with a sparton frame, doing a spin on his back wheel then snapping his forks. sparton were moaning at him in the comments saying their bikes weren't built for that kind of use. does that mean track only? ? doubt it

Chick on one of those graeme weigh?? frames turned off Old St. in front of me 2night.. .

graham weigh. my local bike shop back home

I also need some nuts.

When I puts (yes I arranged it so that it sounds like 'nuts') my chain tungs (just a mistake this time) on - they take up some of the axle length that protrudes from the drop outs - so my Dura Ace nuts don't get much axle to hold onto - so I need thinner nuts (than the Dura Aces).

couldn't you use one chain tug and offset the rear axle? what chain tugs are they? they sound prettty thick to take up so much of the axle.

but to be fair tho, he was the first to beat 50 mins in a 25-mile time trial. he wasn't called 'The King' for nothing.

yup. and sreaming that loud has gotta cause some resistance.

everything's drilled on Alf's bike! Levers, chainrings, brakes! Seatpost? Maybe that explains his shocked expression - how the bl*ody hell is this staying together?

drilled out bars too

haha, giant hipster bike made of wood - brakeless, spynergy's and cut-off risers. thats funny

i knocked a motorcyclist off who stopped dead in front of me, i skidded into them at 30mph, bent my front wheel which locked up my front wheel, which sent me over the bars onto my head. the motorcyclist came off worse tho - stuck under their bike cos it was too heavy for them.

bloody drivechain nazis

+1 there are slack chains and there are slack chains, it only needs to be tight enough so that it won't come off and it would need to be way slacker than that.

Yeah they are veery similar! I think mine has a different seat-stay though, my knogg won't shine through the gap where you have yours in the pic :)

And yeah.. I was mighty unsure about mine at first as well. a bit of jiggery pokery with the stem & bars arrangement & now I love it!

yep, the seat-stays are defo different and the forks look different too, just seemed a strange coinsidense for them to come from such close proximity, or at least the same side of the country, i ain't seen many lo-pros like this, as you know they normally have curved tubes or sloping top tube. i think these look fun tho, i've had plenty of people pointing and laughing which must be a good sign - a proper 'funny bike', when i've told people they called them funny bikes they say "don't you mean stupid" hahahaha.

yeh my bro wasn't sure about it but i loved it, smiled all the way home, then hung my other bike up for 4 or 5 months.

whats the difference between roast beef and pea soup?

oooh, again so soon. did i know that?

alfonzo: i'm from ponteland.

Ok this is getting well weird. I can't say for definite but I think MY bike:

...is also a Joe Waugh!

I didn't realise he and dave yates run/used to run M Steel Cycles!!

i got a nearly identical frame built in Middlesbrough.

black haired girl on white, pink and blue Martrac this morning in Dalston. nice to see another Martrac about

It's pretty smart innit. The bike accelerates sooooo well: transmits power straight up the back end, so to speak.

oh dear dan

that mono-stay is fucking phallic, you're a dirty lad Dan

^^^^ great record cover, great record.

I like British frames. Blerrrrrrr :P

C'mon people support your homegrown artisan engineers!

Argos, Jackson, Mather, Mercian, Roberts, Yates, Whitcomb, (yes Whitcomb)... What more could you want?

Anybody know any more British builders?

sure, i got 2 british track frames but i'd like to support my Polish heritage too with a frame without a japanese name on it.

how about Graham Weigh? although are they just rebadged Donohue's.

If they were actually made by Orlowski I'd consider buying one, provided they put his name on the tube instead...

For the time being I'll wait and see how the early adopters fare.
