bought a solid seatpost for £2, free end plugs. Thanks! I have no idea who you are on the forum though.

edit: actually I'm not sure it would fit her. She is rather short...

Second dibs. I want something like that for the girlfriend.

Rookie error. Sorry

Dibs if still available!

Thanks!

Thanks very much for the bike. I'd have to say I'm extremely happy right now. I'll keep you updated!

The cable is about 500 foot long. When I need to stop I just call the little man who lives in the loft and he pulls the lever for me.

I've added a brake pulled from the loft! Not foolish enough to go brakeless. Oh and I haven't finished making my custom pedal straps so I was slightly wrong in riding carefully without foot retention. Lovely and silent ride!

well I don't know if it's a bike yet. Just about to ride it now. Wish me luck.

Done :)

Need some brakes though.

Just got them on with the help of two blunt knives.

Worked really well. To think, that's what worked in the end. My fingers are torn to shreds though from all the attempts.

Now to get brakes that have a very shallow drop and my project will be rideable. I had Shimano 600 calipers but they are pinching below the braking surface!

Thanks for the advice. To think, an entire build from scratch, including the wheels, and the only bit I struggle with is getting the tyres on!

Scobleman can help!

Where can I find him?

But I want to ride my new bike out in the sun today! HELP ME OUT, PLEASE!

If anyone could meet me and give me a hand/sell me a tyre that is a bit looser I'd be extremely grateful. I'm actually fuming at this wretched thing!

I'm just about ready to throw my bike out of the window and have a nervous breakdown.

WHY are my rims not accepting any tyres. My fingers are red and almost bloodied, im extremely sweaty. There are scratches in my shiny new braking surfaces due to using metal tyre levers after breaking plastic ones.

700c rims with a 13mm inner diameter should take 700 x 23 tyres right?!! Surely, what am I not seeing? I've bought Vittoria Rubinos and now Michelin Spedium 2s and neither is going anywhere near the rim.

I've tried every technique and tip online.

I'm starting to think I have a manufacturing fault on my Rigida DP18s. But then again, I have two rims from completely different batches (bought from separate places) and theyre just the same.

What the hell do I do?? ARGH

Just about ready to ride my bike, when I tried to fit the tyres and they're too tight for my rims.

Anyone have anything 700 x 23 in a different brand in the hope it might fit my slightly larger than 700c rims, straight swap Sunday morning?

Thanks

I've been having trouble getting my rear wheel lined up correctly. Anyone have a pair of these spare?

Thanks

Second dibs abus

Well that's easy. It looks like a swarm but the earth is so big that they're miles apart, an being flown by highly trained professional people whilst being watched using radar and gps transceivers with software that sounds alarms if they get too close. Plus most are being pilotted by computers in the first place - which think faster than us.

Computer driven cars would reduce accidents but then there'd be no blame. Simply doesn't work in a compensation society.

I'm on the lookout for some nice tyres for a project I'm just coming to the end of. I'm sick of punctures so something rugged but fast would be nice. Just thought I'd ask here in case anyone has any going before I turn to the shops.

I can pay in cash, beer, coffee or whatever other currency you happen to accept.

Cheers!

That's good to hear! I'm about to switch to fixed, coming to the end of my first fixed project as my current frankenbike is just beginning to become unroadworthy.

I want to build up a practical, cheerful hack bike using cheaper parts though, just for general getting around, so this frame would be ideal.

I wouldn't mind having a go at it if robadob doesn't take it. Hope you're still fit and well though.

EDIT: Seems like it's just the frame, possibly the brake calipers, crankset, rear wheel that are salvagable. Would make a good project for a second/everyday bike I've been looking out for. Just my size too.

Could I have the keyboard too please? A new one would be awesome. Mine is on it's last legs...

OK I will include delivery if you buy both. So I'm £2 cheaper than CRC and you get exactly the same thing, same brand new condition. These are completely unused so I am just trying to get back what as much as I can for what I paid for them. Still a bargain!

This is pretty amazing
