all these extra frames should be put into circulation, yes? ;)

two.

Spesh roubaix armadillo elites are lovely, lovely tyres. Reasonably good rolling and haven't had one puncture yet.

that cleared up a lot! Jesus, that must the only bike shop in London that does that

you what? 100 psi if that is what you want to know.

I was thinking about getting a silver front wheel with a low spoke count... the one I have now is a heavy old on-one hubed piece-o-crap (and the brown looks a lot better in real life)

to white? Would be a tad too colour coordinated

Hello everyone,

I put a post on the stolen bikes thread a while ago and now I finally have a new bike to replace my long gone Olmo. Yes, the pic was taken in BLB but I bought the frame and fork from there (and the lighting in there was lovely!).

Gotta change the font wheel at some point..

Thanks chris crash, I'll inform the bike shops as well that if they get it in for repair or whatever reason then they know something dodgy is up.

I moved to London a few weeks ago and had my first day of work today. At 9 am I locked my bike to a lamp post on Duke Street right next to the Selfridges staff entrance. Once I left for home at around 4 pm it was gone. No lock left or anything. I had a late 80's early 90's olmo fixie conversion. I'm completely pissed off and miserable because I had repainted the frame, gotten rid of all the unnecessary brazings (bottle cage bolt holes, gear shifter places, rear derailleur hanger etc..) and even filled in the bottle cage brazing holes. It was like a my own kid or something like that. I have been building it up for about 3 years now and I finally got it into a configuration that I was happy with about a week ago. The bike is very distinctive and there will not be another in london. If someone sees someone riding it then they have my permission to kick their teeth in, take the bike and call me at 07521 321360 (the name's Alvi).

Yeah, so i need a long reach road brake. And it should be a bolt through because it is going on my old olmo conversion fixie ;) Superprecise how much do you want for it? Or do you need something else?

And splatbucket isn't the difference between the front and rear brakes for road bikes the length of the threaded bolt on the caliper? It's a lot shorter for the rear brake...

Edit: Tommy I jsut meant I need only the caliper, not that I thought that it had to be 57mm reach because of the bmx lever. I formed that sentence in a stupid way :D

I would need a 57mm reach front brake caliper (As I have a BMX lever for it!). If anyone has any lying about it would be nice to know ;)
