Anyone got a spare 113mm BB spindle they don't want?

Thought i'd ask here 1st before sailing on the seas of ebay.

Cheers,

PM'd

I made one myself with a plastic ginger beer bottle cut down to the right width and overlapped twice, it's still in the bike and does the job perfectly. The sleeves are impossible to find in London and i only found one website that sold them, everyone else just told me buy a new bottom bracket to get one!

this anyone on here?
rossini <?> lo-pro, white spok at the front, white deep v at the back, curved top tube and seat tube, cycling down st marks rise, e8 at about 9:10 this morning.

Guerillaphoto holding onto a lamp post on West Street in Brighton on Sat. I was over the other side of the road on foot shouted do a skid just as a bus obscured me and drowned me out.....like a ninja you had disappeared once the bus had gone past.

This is incredibly sad, only just found out about this, i hope they catch whoever is responsible.
My thoughts are very much with her family and friends.

and one more.

With risers and purple grips? I think that's my brother's

tell him he has fine musical taste and i hope he's going to their gig at the gaff soon.

...i saw two cyclists this morning sneak up the left of a massive flat bed lorry carrying scaffolding poles as it was turning left!i had to have words, esp when they started swearing at the driver and they were in the wrong.

and the video report here:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8039366.stm

ehren - the driver said he didn't see Eilidh and he was checking his mirrors, he only stopped as he heard something go under his truck.

thanks. g

Does the Fuji track (with Defiance Ohio sticker) locked up on Broadwick St. belong to anyone on here?

Thanks to coppiThat for coming down, we actually got some good things to chase up on and a few twitter/Facebook bits too. Thanks people.

DFP - done already, still no good, all the cameras are capturing the pavements and not the roads, the traffic cameras still aren't working there.

G

thanks people! exactly...you never know, got to try everything!

Hope you don't mind me posting this but this Thursday 7th May will be 3 months since Eilidh's fatal crash.

It's incredibly frustrating that the police have no witnesses, no CCTV, and no idea what happened.

So we're trying to find out what happened.

Help us spread the appeal for witnesses:

If you fancy changing your Facebook status to:
''is appealing for witnesses to the crash that killed Eilidh Cairns in Notting Hill Gate as she cycled to work, Thurs 5 Feb 2009. Can you help us?''
with link: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=83011272326

And Twitter:
... is appealing for witnesses to the crash that killed Eilidh Cairns in Notting Hill Gate on 5 Feb.
Can you help us? http://www.facebook.com/l/;http://tiny.cc/1h6xU

(ask your friends to do the same, hopefully it'll put the word about)

ALSO -- We're doing a roadside appeal at Notting Hill Gate (opp the Tesco's) Thursday morning (7th May) at 8.30-9.30
Handing out leaflets and jogging people’s memory. We still don’t know what happened.
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?sid=a2ae5f02d64d7652062a4f6079804a03&eid=81697435772&ref=search
Anyone who wants to get involved can or if you're just cycling past come and say hi!

Along with this roadside appeal we are producing a video to appeal for witnesses, and to tell Eilidh’s story.

The piece features a mix of high profile political figures. It will be cut to send to TV broadcasters and local cinemas in the hope that it will encourage eye witnesses to come forward with vital information. The real aim for us is to reach those who may have witnessed the accident but have decided not to come forward.

So far these people have spoken out on behalf on Eilidh and feature in the footage:

• Kulveer Ranger –Boris’ Johnson’s Director of Transport Policy - GLA
• Nick Ross – Former Crime Watch presenter and Chair of London Accident Prevention Council
• Miss Dynamite – Singer Songwriter.
• Jo Oakley – Head of Collision Investigation Metropolitan Police Service
• Jenny Jones – London Assembly Member Green Group
• Alan Beith – MP
• Cynthia Barlow – Chair of Roadpeace
• Avi Silverman – FIA Foundation
• Buffalo Bill – Editor of Moving Target
• Professor Karim Brohi – (TIGER) Chair of Trauma Sciences at Barts and the London Medical School and the Royal London Trauma Clinical Academic Unit.
• Ross Davenport – (TIGER) Senior Researcher at Barts
• John Smithson - Chairman and Cheif Creative Director, Darlow Smithson

Thank you

Hi all,
Have i bought a headset with the wrong stack height?
The lock nut won't go on the stem any more than the picture below and this leaves the filthy gap you can see, do i just need to get some spacers or should i cut my stem down? The bloody head tube is massive already without some 7ft long headset being on the end.

Any advice appreciated. Thanks!
G

true Ed, he didn't take too kindly to my comments but i completely lose it regarding dangerous driving at the moment. must learn to breathe.

I did have a little search for this as i'm sure it's come up many many times before but i couldn't find it....and the LCC article i found was from 2006.

My usual route back from work is past those damn cycle lanes by UCL, i avoid them like the plague as usual and take the road. I hear something getting extremely close to my back wheel, it's a taxi driver trying to clip me, intimidate me or both, he's screaming at me to use the cycle lane, this goes on for a bit so i slow and politely tell him to stop driving like a maniac and to go fuck himself. Even more irate he now edges left trying to force me into the raised curb between the road and cycle lane. I stop, shaking with rage, HTFU and then give chase to throw my lock through his back window, he makes a clean gettaway. I forget to get his number plate like an idiot.

Anyway, as far as i'm aware it's the cyclists choice if they want to use a cycle lane or not (you weigh up the dangers). I know they were thinking of changing the law a little while ago. Am i right or is the irate taxi driver correct?

Link to the London Tonight piece too:

Hi,

Sorry it's taken me so long to do this....hope i never win an oscar or i'll be up on stage all night.

I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of this, we really did Eilidh proud, she would have loved it!

I'd especially like to thank:

Shins and GreasySlag for organising everything.

Dropout for his initial reccee.

BigDaddyWayne, Murtle and Clefty for the spoke cards.

Stimpy for getting up there in the park before Eilidh's sister Kate and saying some beautiful things about Eilidh.

Carl the fireman who was there on the 5th found me on here and rode with us on Saturday.

Velocio for running this place, without which the ride would have been tiny in comparison.

BBill for riding with Heather (Eilidh's Mum) having a natter and looking out for her.

The outriders, you did a fantastic job keeping some of the more irate taxi drivers in check and keeping us all safe.

Eilidh's family & friends especially those that had never cycled in London before.

All the people who donated money, wrote in the condolence book, PM'd me, posted on the main thread and rode on Saturday.

The ride is a day i and many will never forget. I can't express in words how much it meant riding the route surrounded by so many amazing people, i'm truly touched.

Lastly, i'd like to thank Eilidh. For everything. x

Love to all. Giles

This is a picture of Eilidh I took at a party last year, am trying to get one of her bike, it was a multi coloured Daniel Salmon from France. Sorry if this picture is so big, please feel free to resize.
Giles

All these comments, mean so much to us.

Memorial ride - yes

Donations – there’s a research project, for which Eilidh's blood was taken at hospital, looking into the clotting properties of blood to help victims of trauma with severe injuries and experiencing extreme loss of blood. (She died through severe blood loss). We don't know if donations can be accepted on ethical grounds but we're contacting the hospital to find out. In addition we'd like to support the most effective HGV cyclist/driver campaign.

It would be nice for the family to see that so many people care, if we could get a card to Eilidh’s parents that’s got lots of signatures on it or just a small bunch of flowers that would be fantastic. I love the shape of a bike idea. That would be representative of the forum rather than just more flowers.

Eilidh's, sister, Kate, has been reading this and is amazed by the comments from people that did not even know Eilidh. But having been a dedicated cyclist herself for many years in London she appreciates and understands the feeling of unity and empathy.

I think a mass ride along her commuting route from her home to Notting Hill would be a fantastic idea as do her family and friends. I think something noisy to attract attention and bring the issue into the wider press and public interest. A celebration of Eilidh, we’ve been thinking perhaps in a months time 7th or 14th of March a Saturday so more people could attend?

The ghost bikes were something we spoke about and we'd definitely have her blessings to put one up; last night we erected two pink wheels, as well as attaching pictures and words at the scene. Someone had spray painted little eyelids (one of her many nicknames was Eyelid) around the area as well as her name. I’m going to talk to the ghost bike organisers as we’d like to get her track frame back from the police at some point and get that up at the scene, she’d rather have her own bike up there than another.

At the moment I really don’t feel up to getting everything rolling with this. If someone could volunteer to take charge and I could keep in contact with them that would be fantastic…?

Big thanks to Hassan and all the guys in Cavendish Cycles who I think we drove slightly mad when bringing in her frame and going through all the Deep V rims to find some that were pink enough! We got there 5 minutes before closing and kept the shop open for quite a while.

Eilidh was the most beautiful, intelligent, kind hearted and joyous person I had ever met in my life. As soon as I met her I knew that I’d never leave her side. Her smiles and laughter would illuminate grey days. She really did change lives for the better. I’m going to put a picture up on here, and one of her frame too so maybe people can put an name and a face to her.

Feel free to move this to the other thread.

Giles

sadly, this was my girlfriend Eilidh, she was riding the bike she loved on the route she takes to work everyday. she died in hospital yesterday. words cannot express how much i loved that girl. cycle safely.

Landshark 56cm track frame - 650c up front.
Some one was after one of these a while ago? Dogs perhaps?

anybody/vintagers have any views on why these ends are pointing downward rather than in-line with the chainstays?

thanks

that seller has quite a nice Raleigh track frame too. No reserve.

i find that highly unlikely. more like $60 to melb, $300 to uk (~£140)

ahhh meant it was on $60 when i looked, $140 shipping to UK. Went cheap....if you were in Aus.....where it's sunny, the bikes are cheap, the beaches are fantastic. gah!
