English thread BB, comes with the standard 3/32nd 48t ring, although fine for an 1/8th chain and sproket which is how I run it.

I have 47t and 49t 1/8th rings, but they will run an extra tenner each as they are the posh stonglight zicral ones.

I'll let you know when I shift them, not sure my crank puller will work, so I might have to borrow one first.

Cool, you can PM me when you're ready. How much for the set by the way?

I do have a Falcon myself, but more 70's definitely, with a nice badge on the headtube. I believe it is a Falcon Olympia.
It would look great if resprayed, its finished in sort of baby blue.
Frame is really comfortable, reynolds 531 tubing.

Depends on the Line.
On some not allowed, on some only during off peak.

Will get one of those then I suppose if everything else fails (putting piece of razor between crank and taper that is:) ) Thanks guys!

I would be interested, provided the chainring is good for 1/8 chain and the BB will have an english thread?

Thanks kowalski.
If my bike is about70's Falcon, I do assume i have an english thread for the BB then?

Hi guys,

Since my old Sugino on what used to be road bike is giving up on me (can't even take the pedals of, it must have spent ages in the shed) I am in need of a new chainset. I found this:
http://www.pearsoncycles.co.uk/product/3230/FSA_SINGLE_SPEED_CHAINSET_AND_BOTTOM_BRACKET_OFFER
Does this seem ok?
My whole bike is a budget build so I reckon this should do the trick?
Only concern is will it give me the 42mm chainline?
Maybe someone has some cranks for sale?

I suggest you try to sell it.

As bb is lower, best to get shorter cranks as well.

That's a very good point if someone is going fixed.

I'll take the wheelset please.

Is the 27 wheelset alloy or steel?

Thanks Guys.
I read somewhere that the difference between 27 and 700 is roughly 5mm in diameter.
Is that true?

Like in the topic
Is the problem with brakes unavoidable or is it just a matter how much one can move the pad up and down?
I have an old falcon I am in the process of converting. While it needs 27" wheels, the 700cc seem to be the future and could be more versatile once I change the frame.
I suppose riding brakeless with no previous experience on fixed is not a good idea? :)

tomasito,
Are those wheels still available?
If so, I would gladly take them.
Is the spacing 120 mm?

Poland for me, dutch coach. I hope the combo will prove itself.

What peugeots you mean?

Scrapper, thanks for the pics.
What would be the benefit of tubulars then?
Are they lighter?

I was looking at those:

Will have to pass now.
Cheers.

I kinda like those graphics.
They're so 80's.
Think Peugeot 205 GTi if anybody is into the cars :)

Thanks for the response guys.
So the clincher type is basically what everybody uses?

A quick one guys.
Since my english is far from perfect, could you please enlighten me whether clincher rims are the same ones as wheels for tubulars?
I think so, but need to be sure.
Thanks!

That's a nice one.
I just received an early 90's road bike with campagnolo groupset. Initially was going to leave it as it is but since the frame looks exactly like this I am now thinking of building a fixie instead.

Probably right.
Cost wise one should go for 700cc I guess, even when this means new tyres as it is in my case.
Future upgrades easier as well.

27" will look much better in your frame than 700c. depends how long you plan to keep using the frame.

sjs do some nice 27" rims

Is it just me or are they really expensive?
I am still looking for wheels for my fixie project and would like to stick with 27, but those prices seem a bit steep.

This one still up for grabs?
