So based on some of the above photos the trick to ruining the paint on your frame, sorry making it look like a rat bike, is to remove the outer sleeve from your Kryptonite chain.

A picture speaks a thousand words...although you seem to have tried to prove that wrong.
-
I'm putting this thread on ignore. If I see any more discussion of gear ratios and that red chain again I will gouge my eyes out.

Charlie Brown shoes.

Warm today. I have just been out and overdressed. I was sweltering.
-
also a suggestions on a front rack ?
Put it on the back where it belongs?
-
What frames are you going for?
-
HMV. Are they still in business? Amazing.
-
Can you post a picture of the fork crown or explain why it's black? Was it repaired?
-
Too much rubbish spoken here. Bearings are made in imperial and metric sizes by range and application. Go and pick up a Timken or SKF catalog.

Very nice unlike the quality of that brick work. Shocking.
-
If I go I will have to drive, in which case would anyone want a lift, and it also means I will be in office attire and I will refuse to take my tie off.

I used to work for the company that bought Torrington, which is what Torrington Avenue was named for. The old Torrington factory burned down in the 90s.

Talk to Down To My Last 15p about locking up. He takes no chances.

Steve - You don't really need double cages for double straps. I don't think they make any difference at all as those MKS straps you have don't stretch or twist anyway.

Personally I dislike the way it ruins the line of the shoe - like outriggers on a canoe. They also look messy and, from a practical standpoint, get caught on abso-fucking-lutely everything. Like a hangnail. To each is own and all that.
You can get plenty of loafers without the beef roll. It's a minor quibble. I find the insertion of a penny kind of crass though. What is it supposed to signify?
Hmmm I seem to have made a Crass pun there.

I'll have a scratch around tomorrow and see what I can find.
-
What is the stem? I have a spare Cinelli clamp bolt somewhere from an old stem.
-
Looking good. Stick a chain on and some bars and go ride it!
-
I'd like to go but it's a bloody long haul for me midweek.
-
No. I don't think so. I will only buy something I don't need.
-
I'll aim for the 10:11 and let you know when I get on.

Goodyear welted sole requires special tools. Lasts cost a fortune, even old one's are expensive.
Some of my family were trained shoe makers in Northampton. I am not sure it would be easy to get an apprenticeship there any more because there's only a few companies left.
I pass Church's and Trickers every morning by the way. If you've seen the film Kinky Boots. That's the Trickers factory, from the outside at least. If anyone ever wanted to do the Northampton shoe factory shop run then I 'might' find the time to show them about.
