Some of the first ones I've taken with an Olympus OM-1 I've just picked up. Still a lot to re-learn...

Great :-)

Sorry but yes it’s on hold for lesterama who can collect soon
If that falls through it’s yours and we’ll sort out how best to get it to you

On hold

Any interest at £125?

I'm usually going through there around 8pm - will deffo avoid now it's dark.
Hope you're ok @fly

Thanks I'll have another look.

And the dropouts are 98mm front and around 115mm for the rear.

Thanks - that sounds about right.
I tried older hubs (like a Philips) and they were a good fit but didn't want to build a wheel out of it.

^Good point.
I'll measure tonight but from memory it's around 95/115 - I managed to stretch out fork and rear to fit 100/120 size with no issues.
It worked fine with fixed rear wheel using Campag record pista hubs from 1960s. The rear dropouts are tight but will accept it with no filing.
The front dropouts though wouldn't take the Record fixed hub axles without the axles being filed down flat a bit.

Ha! Great photo

The guy was fine and could laugh about it :-)
He said he went slowly but the weight/momentum meant he couldn't stop it happening

Love the colours reminds me of Sickert:

Forgot to post this last week.
Delivery rider made it through the northern barriers on Blackfriars Bridge but discovered the southern ones are slightly smaller...!
(I did try to help but he was stuck fast and he'd called company to help remove the axle)

I guess it depends what you want it to be.
Why is it "wrong"?
I found trying to recreate a photo or a close copy of an image far too frustrating as I'm not that accurate or patient.
I found it much more liberating to accept mistakes/inaccuracies/artistic licence are part of what the makes the final piece special.
But others seem to take great satisfaction from making it photo-realistic or incredibly intricate.
If it's important getting it very close to that image you could make a print from a printer, paint a thin layer of oil on the back, and then "draw" it onto the canvas itself. Obviously it will only be as big as the printed paper.
It's not cheating :-)

Looks good to me too.

If it pisses down with torrential rain (has both times we've been there) head for the Tank Museum as it's good value and dry.
Weymouth has a nice beach and some ok restaurants

This year there's the added attraction of the Bibby Stockholm :-)

She was amazing especially on this song
