A Team banana is my commuter. Lovely bike.

How bad is the rusting? Any near the BB? Don't really care about the cond. of the components.

only some small spots

I've got a free ticket to Vinopolis, so I'll be wankered on nice wine....don't you know.

My girlfriend is after a new bike. A 54" roadie, steel or alu. Nothing too expensive just for touring london and commuting.

So if there are any amazing bargains out there just let me know.

Nice.

Schweet! Got the bars and brake levers off last night. I starting wiggling my new Molodo's on and the anodised were coming off. Leccy tape it is.

Good morning sports fans,

I've got a Raleight Team Banana bike up for sale. it's a 23" frame from the 80's with considerable rusting. Original steel rims and tyres, front, rear and lever Shimano brakes in working order. ITM eclipse Stem and Prima handlebars. Clip pedals and no saddle.

Who will give me £40 ONO?

Double barrel the first name; Farquhar-Archiebald.

Congratulations mate. Best wishes.

I'll be giving this ago tonight.

Thanks peeps.

This will not work if your stem bolt has a nut on the end rather than a threaded insert in the casting but if your stem is suitable it helps.

Take the bolt out of the stem.
Insert the bolt from the reverse side until it just starts coming through the small gap between the two halfs (if you get what I mean).
Place a five pence peace in the the gap and carry on screwing the bolt in.
This will allow you to spread the stem open slightly. Obviously do not try and open up the stem too far as it is aluminum but it leaves you hands free from having to use a screw driver in one hand.

Great, i've been fighting to get the drop bars out out of my nitto stem. This should help.

The bars also have got brakes attached and I can't seem to get these off, they are shimano from the mid 90's. there doesn't seem to be any screw to loosen. How are these brakes removed?

you don't have enough posts ;)

Nice one Dogs. once I've got all the components ready I will contact you regards a build.

Chee-ars.

happy to, although talking will slow me down. just PM me and we can sort something out.

For some reason the PM option isn't available when i'm logged in. GAH!

get a double fixed hub as you can always add a freewheel, but if you want to swap to fixed, it's sorted.

roberto has some good value hubs on the bay

Perfect, I'll be doing business with Mr Roberto this afternoon.

What about spokes? Different radial diamiters and lots a information I can't get my head-round. Do you lads have suggestions as to a spec and merchant?

Chee-ars.

My brand new front aerospoke for sale. i also have a rear if any one want to make me an offer for the rear.

Is this still available?

Hia, I'm a complete beginer with bike mechanics and wiould like to learn how to build weels.

Is there another session coming up guys?

Cheers

Hi Dogsballs,

I'm a beginer to bike mechanics so don't know much.

Would you be able to build a front wheel and a rear wheel for me? I have a hub for the front and will be purchasing a rim this week. I need to locate a rear SS hub and need some help with choosing spokes for both front and rear.

If possible I'd like a sort of tutorial so I can try building wheels in the future.

I read the guides online but would definately understand a practicle lesson more clearly.

What say ye?
