ooooo yeah, I'm a magpie in human form.

Update, I'll take offers for seperate parts of the bike.

Yeah that shouldn't be a problem.

Stubbington, Hampshire.

57cm x 57cm

Thats a good point.

Err, I'm 5ft 9 and it fits well.

I must confess that I'm not sure of sizing on road bikes, any ideas what dimension I should mesaure?

Hi,

I rarely ride it plus need the money for a college course so its up for sale.

It's a shiny 1972 ALAN bonded and bolted together alluminium frame and fork.

The frame has been polished and is now very shiny. It has a new shimano square drive bb, new shiny chain, shiny freewheel. Shiny GB stem and drop bars (the shiny risers you see in the pics are also included) and shiny ish campy veloce calipers. The levers are also (shiny) campy but I don't know what model. The headset is also a campy one which, although not perfect is shiny and works.

The brakes and drops are off as I wanted to try it out with the risers but otherwise all the bits are there to run a front and rear brake, drop bars etc including some nos campy top tube cable clamps, shiny chrome ones!

The post is a campag one, in good condition, shiny and topped off with a charge spoon saddle in black which isn't shiny.

The wheels are shiny, round and work. I have some brand new system ex hubs to go with the bike though so some tasty wheels can be built.

Any questions call me on 07736279426 or pm me.

PS, thats rainwater specs not corrosion.

Actually, chrome isn't necessary, any old finish will do.

Hey all,

I'm after a striaght leg fork, in chrome with a 1" threaded or threadable steerer and drilled for a brake.

Let me know if you have anything or know of anything.

Cheers
Gav

For my ALAN project, the original forks are alarmingly bendy so I want a fancy steel equivalent with a 195mm+ threaded steerer.

Anyone have or know of anything?

Ta,

Gav

Hi all,

I picked up this Dawes Windrush frame for fook all with the plan being to build it into a ghetto get to work hack, I even dubbed it project poundstrecher but I'm kinda really starting to like the thing sooooooo

I need your help on component choice!

I have the GB bars and stem on there which fit in quite well and a fluted Kalloy seatpost is on the way plus I'm bidding on a Brooks competition saddle, a more streamlined one rather than the big ol' wide ones which seem the norm.

I can't decide on any brakes though?

I wasn't sure if to go for an all ally lever and lever body or a plastic/rubber shrouded lever like the originals and also what caliper to use?

The frame is intended for a 27" wheel also so utilising my tig welder I was going to weld in some track dropouts and maybe alter thigns enough to bring the rear wheel in closer again so I can use a rear brake as the brake mount is too high up to meet the 700c wheel I have.

Wheels?

Frame colour?

Any other suggestions at all?

Its going to be a ss so I've ground off all the gear cable mounts and all the mudguard and pannier mounts.

I want to keep it sleek and simple but using period parts, can you picture what I mean?

Is this still for sale?

you sound bitter, is it hug time. . . .

Ok bud I'll keep you in mind.

Humph, I think I'll just keep it. I came across some Plug racer drops onto which I've put some charge brown bar tape on and it looks imo even more awesome now so I'd only be sad to sell it.

I guess the Cube XC mtb I want will have to wait a bit longer :-(

I haven't got any replacement wheels!

Doh, I hate ebay, frickin window lickin rip off merchants grrrrr

Bumpy

good pricing, reasonable but not too expensive.

(I have to ask, and this isn´t a nag, how come you didn´t change the awful tyres when you got the new wheels?).

Are they crap? Tbh I've little experience of road riding so just went with them. I've heard they're heavy to ride on, is that the problem?

Ok call it 375.

I must emphasise though it is IMMACULATE, perfecto, peachy, very very good.

That looks awesome, any more pics or details available?

** Ffs stop picking holes in others peoples business and get a life! Have you nothing better to do??? **

.

you're selling on an open uncensored forum. you want a sale, use ebay!

if the hub was single sided, the radial is fine. but what happens if a hipster buys the bike and wants to run fixed, the will spin the wheel around put on a cog, then kill themselves dead under a bus!! point is, you just don't lace a flip-flop hub radial on one side.

Ffs stop picking holes in others peoples business and get a life! Have you nothing better to do?

jeezus!

It DOESN'T have a freewheel on it so there's nowt to flip it over to ok!

If anyone on here should want to buy it then if you want I will have the rear wheel re spoked normally if you want. As it is it looks great and being a FIXED forum I would imagine most would be happy as it is as a FIXED bike.

Ok dogswang? Happy with that?

Oh and to the others, good ideas ref splitting it however I don't have the old wheels now otherwise that would be a fine idea. I think I could locate a set cheap so if it comes with it I'll go the ebay route as a last resort. Thank you for your input :-)

Maybe, I only ever wanted it as a fixed but at least it could be changed which is better than not being able to no?
