i've been messing about with mine, as you do, seems ok. But then again i've no idea what a good one looks or feels like.

Some things come up cheaper in side the shop, as i've just check the sprocket remover we got was 5 instead of 8.99

try halfords, sounds daft. But a mate picked one up for a quid. See the halfords post in the general section.

Hey

Halfords have a bit of a sale on at the moment. Most stuff is the end of the line items. Got a Topeak Alien RX multitool reduced from 28 quid to a fiver. Got a 11 piece set of draper wrenchs for a 5 from 15, got wire cutters for a 5 from 15, also a head set wrench for a quid. A mate got a head set, chrome, for a quid.

We reserved online and that way you get the online discount and then went in to the store and picked it up. Also some stores don't have enough room to have all the bargins out so they have a box round back, ask to see that as thats where we got some more stuff from.

Just thought some of you might want to know.

Make sure you do it all online though and pick it up.

twigdip who do i speak to about joining up to the OCW?

i remember using a vice to remove a bottom bracket, wouldn't move. Broke the vice though, the metal plates, snapped in half. hahahaha, got a right telling off by the Uni.

i'll have to remember 'fucking massive' being a size now, hahaha.

hahahahaha, think it might have to be.

Is he? doesn't look it to me, either way thats not the point.

no i've not checked out the front page, even so the guy in the picture is a lot smaller than i am, so i've still no idea how big the bag is

i've got a medium timbuk2, but i'm looking for something bigger. What size are your larges?

BTW been reading about your back, hows it going with all that?

Going to be buying a sandblaster this week for 20 quid, and getting the frame down to bare metal. Then treat the rust and off it goes to the painters, still unsure of the colour. Was thinking sky blue, or black. with the lug work either chromed or highlighted in some way. any ideas?

Got my frame through today. Going to need some work doing to it, sanding down, rust treatment and some angle grinding to take of some brake cable holders, the water bottle cage holes and some weird thing on the fork.

I'll post pictures when i can find my camera.

been chatting to a mate about the front brake i'm going to need one but i don't fancy the unslightly cables going everywhere. What i'm wondering is there a way of getting the brake cable through the frame without killing the frame and having working front brake?

Hey

I thought i would write a small working diary of my new bike build. I've just won a frame on the bay and am planning on sanding it down, treating the frame work and getting it painted. Question is what colour? I'm liking the colour it is at the mo minus the rust. what do you reckon?

I'll be posting progress of the build as i go along, if thats allowed and people want me to. I just thought i would be kinda nice for people to see progression of a build, as i've not really seen progression of builds on here.

Anyway, heres what I won.

Hey

I'm after a relatively cheap frame to fit a 5,10 person. my road bike is a 56cm, so i'm after another one the same size. I'm wanting to build a beater, instead of killing my road bike through the winter months.

Cheers for any help

Simon

Hey Thanks for supplying the information. I'd most prob go for the black frame without the unraked fork.

Thanks once again
