yup tis the one

which one you want????
yellow/black cheapo, black selle italia slr XC trans am used once,black selle italia flite Ti rails used, specialized toupe used once black , selle italia slr ti rails black????

i got advanced carbon aero fork 43mm rake, alloy crown + steerer, 23 cm steerer.......60 quid
it is on my flickr........malpa_london people section.......with loads of stickers on it...

i think there must be some misunderstanding...point A: you want 103 ISO BB...which means you cant get one......not even phil woods.......only JIS low profile.....point B: you will get a 42mm chainline with sugino 109.5 BB. if you get 103 ISO BB the chainline will be 39mm????and the crank will rub on the BB shell or the chainstays...i suppose..... what kind hub you gonna run???? the old suzue???

and the shortest JIS you can get is sugino messenger sealed bearing one.....

yeah velocity or old stock mavic cxp 14/30 or rigida dp 18....

or i have a two sets of rims which are deep profile machined for brakes, not the lightest but stiff and durable hand made i czech republic by J. Bayer....
50 pounds a pair... either red or polished.....

well you need the correct length for the hub/rim combination you gonna use........you need the effective rim diameter ERD of the rim and the flange diameter of the hub and the distance form center of the hub to the flanges...you best bet would be to go to any local bicycle shop.....definitely not brick lane bikes becuz they are evil and rude and money making people trying to screw the poor cycling community.....ehm....well they should be able to measure both your hub and rim....and sell you the right spokes......bascialy anything with a brand on it should serve you well......sapim,DT,Alpina ,Halo.....whatever really.......possibly double butted ......

i built the same pattern and crossed ...the inside spokes under under over, the middle under,over,under and the outer over under over......and seemed all right it felt really stiff when you squeezed the flanges together much stiffer than 3 cross.....and it was a bit of a bitch to true becuz of so many crosses and was making really weird creaking when prestressed but once done it was really sturdy..........and it was a velocity deep v on dia compe high flange and halo black DB spokes
and no problem with the tyres or anything at all......i guess the truing was easy cuz the rim is deep section as

the pattern really is nice....the alloy nipples if they are alloy are not:-)
and i would definitely put some more tension on the spokes........and im not ridiculing ...just offering advice
take care

hm
point A : i would never ever build a wheel with used spokes especially heavily used if I cared about the wheel and the performance of it
point B : if you get the same hub with the same dimensions as the old one technically yes....or get a different hub and build with diferent pattern.......if spokes too long use 4 cross instead of three cross.....of too short use 2x insted of 3x
and if you go ahead make sure you soake the spokes and nipples in some kind solvent to clean the threads raelly really well and then grease them well....

point C : if it is an upper end of market wheel it may be factory built with straight pull or flat spokes or shit like that ...or very little spokes number or special hub and rim.......so a nono.....anyway hope it helps

well i dont know if his certification is temporary or whatever...its just that his frame had the privilige to be raced in japan and be certified at the time....which i guess is quite unusual form someone who is not short and ghis name doesnt finish with awa....anyway.......couple my friends are riding his custom made frames in poland and london and everyone is totaly satisfied......fillet brazing and all that....and price you wont be able to beat for a custom frame:-)....................and as for the katana .....well he is just the builder....the branding is not his fault:-)....and yeah we couple of off the peg orlowskis in the shop if anyone wants to check them out......and wouldnt burn in the process of crossing the treshold...

just to clearify............orlowski is a framebuilder from sczeczin no a track racer.........the best in poland in my opinion....and he is not a factory like so called handmade bob jacksons with unreamed and unfaced tubes but a one man workshop....his frame was certified as the only one to be raced on the keirin circuit........and he is a really nice guy as well:-)....and as for gromada........his frames are build by a company called biobike..............so called track frames with the BB too low and stupid geometry.......well the ones i have seen.........and as for the katana goes....i think its rebranded orlowski to be honest.....if yes the workmanship is top notch......and whoever came up with the brand..........its up to the consumer......i guess...customers as we call them in the shop......up the velocitys:-)

there was an ad on ebay couple months ago that someone was looking for a stolen orange roy thame track bike........i guess that explain the recently sprayed black thing......

I recently bought some Condor-branded Miche ones for £100. They come in black and silver. I can't find any tight spots. They also take 144mm BCD chainrings which is the track standard, unlike the other Miche cranks which I believe are 130mm. I think 130mm BCD is Campagnolo and would limit the choice of replacement rings.

I really like the Sugino 75's but couldn't justify it for a bike that's going to be left locked up.

miche old 135 bcd
miche new 144
sugino messenger 130 bcd

shimano road 130bcd
campag road 135bcd

just for the record

i have this one forsale .....comes with strada cranks bottom bracket and headset- chorus old massive one....one ...can throw some saddle........its 59-60cm...columbus max ultralite...monostays......aero forks......

well the blb frame is made in the exact same factory as Iro and all that TIG WELDED stuff......easy as that...so are andel,RPM,sugino messenger cranks and all that......and all the alloy dolan,monoc,omnium and all that...same cut out aero seattube,same welds, same dropouts, different geometry up to your specs..........and the minimum order........and all the ambrosio,formula,iro,system ex and iro hubs............same facory....different specs....

and yeah there was a plan of getting 853 frames......the king of all steel......
