Wowser, if that was 60cm i'd have dibsd your eyes out.
Its got my name on it.

Yep, a fun night. A bit of shouting and free things (organisation) go a long way.
Lets have some more.

@ Elguapo - I saw USA is a monster in Dalston kinda recently, hadn't heard them before but they were great. Played two sets, one where they spoke a bit about a piece of american history which had influenced the following song, and the next was an awesome party.

Heres someone who I've only just discovered...

Yep, cheap fridays at Mile End.

Been skating a bit at mile end recently, its a really fun park.
Its even encouraged this old dog to try some things i havent done in years.
Anyway I'm off to Cantelows to dodge the rain.

Hi all, this has been sitting at my house for a couple of weeks after the wheels were used on a frame for a friend, its made from plain gauge tubing and was labelled as a Marlboro when i got it.
Its 60cm with a 57ish top tube, originally for 27" wheels.
I've included a photo of it with wheels for some idea of the geo or lack thereof.
SOLD
Pick up from N1.

Oh I'm also looking for some cheep clamp on friction shifters for an 8 speed rear derailleur if anyone has anything.

Thanks.

Yesterday I build my first tallbike-frame EVER! :) w0h00!

Turned out pretty much the way I wanted it... except I got to be a bit too tall... I can't get on it without standing on something..

Other problems is that the seat is right above the rear wheel, so it really wants to do wheelies, and it has no brakes yet.. wheels a 29'er singlespeed's..

First testride was a bit exciting because of the missing brakes :) edit: and because the bottom bike is a size 60.. ;)

Photos will follow this weekend when I get brakes mounted, and I think I'll put a drop-bar on it as well, should put my weight a bit more forward so that it'l not wheelie that easy....

Finally I have to figure out why I wanted a tallbike.... ;)

This sounds like a blast! Always wanted to have a ride on a tallbike, seen a few getting around london on them, navigating traffic and whatnot.
Always wondered what happens if you need to stop at the lights.

Pictures!

Still looking if anyone has any.
@ Hewitt - I dont mind mixing campag with shimano or anything else (i'm definitely not a purist) but i dont really want to spend over £10 on shifters. Cheers tho:)

Old favourites from NZ...

Hi, awful timing has ment i keep missing out on ebay auctions for these.
I'm after shimano 600 or something compatible with the 600 rear derailleur i've got.
Its 8 speed. Indexed preffered but not necessary.
Anyone have anything from a conversion lying around?

I'm also looking for Bullhorns too but dont want to pay over £20.

Thanks

RALEIGH LIZARD for Dalston Freestyling.

Pain in the ass in my experience. The single bolt for the chainring comes loose far too easily.
Still, I know enough other people who get on with them.

Yep, this seems to be the problem for most people riding them fixed, heres a link to someone whos been riding them for a bit and a ghetto solution to the problem.

I dunno how much a shop will charge to assemble a bike for you, but I'm pretty sure it'd be cheaper to get a chain tool for a tenner and do it yourself, you'll definitely use it again. And as for the lockring... theres a ghetto way to do almost everything. But then my bikes might be thought of as deathtraps by a few on here.

Wow, that came out really well, i know theres threads about polishing stuff already but how'd you go about that?

dude on a fixed with bmx style bars, being shouted at by me jon fitz and crazy james to do a skid you so willingly complied, made our night as we were desperately trying to refind critical mass

Was this at the top of the Aldwychy Bloomsbury bit? I spotted the spok a mile off, made my trip to Brixton extra fun :)

Someone i know has just got one of them, haven't seen it yet but will post here if it Unikacks it.

I think standard axle diameter is 9mm which is why i mentioned it, might have to file the drops slightly.

Bu-bump, Still have all this stuff except the 650 forks, will take £35 for the wheel if anyone wants it.

I really dig the Dwarves cover of Caveman.
@Elguapo - I've been meaning to see the Nuns at Dirty Water but never gotten round to it, might have to head down.

I'll take the spokes! PMing :)

Oh and I'm looking for 32 282mm spokes if anyones got spares.

Bump! 650 forks are gone, everything else is still here.
Are you still interested in the wheel Tilover?

Heres an awesome source of alot of great garage and rad bits n bobs.
