Dibs on the cheapy one! Sending PM.

hey! i'll have the cxp 12 :-)
I have paypal. will pm you.

hey scott,

The steerer's 130mm.

And cheers for all the comment's guys and girls.

cheers donut,

It's not a joke, although i get why it would seem as if it were. It's an odd request for people to slate my bike but i thought it'd get some ideas, and it is.

p.s, what's wrong with the dust caps? should i get different ones? maybe dice?

nah the saddles not that high, very low cross bar.

Seriously.

I love my frame, the cranks and pedals. I'm even a fan of my chain, it's strong and shiny.

BUT, the wheels aren't right. The front's too big and the back's machined. The fork's a shitter to change because i can't find a 650c 1" fork with the right length [very short] steerer. I don't know what bars to go for, drops? Risers? horns? All have their benefits but will drops be too low? Will horns look too gay? It'll stay brakeless and i don't need it for commuting, just riding for fun.

I have really bad taste. Help needed.

Cheers guys :-D

oli.

:D

It's just a sport-fusion too far imo.

awful.

For christmas when i was 15 i got some SPD's for my Giant ATX500 MTB and some shoes which looked like walking boots. They were brown suede effect. My dad had already set the bike up and put the cleats in the shoes so i jump on it then and there in the hallway. Fell off to the left, feet not moving from pedals, not atall. Even when i was on the floor i couldn't work out how to twist my foot out. Ended up taking said walking boots off - still attached to pedals.

Mind you, i had the opposite problem with my egg beaters on my last fixed gear, slipped out a few times skidding. Again, almost definatley my fault.

Cages/straps/vans ftw!

cougar ftw!

Great cranks,

Got mine off of the bay, the seller Highonbikes had quite a few.

Mine were 170mm with BB for £125. Can't complain.

Does anyone have a 650c 1" fork for sale/lying around?

steerer needs to be about 130mm with 40mm at least threaded! obviously other combination of steerer/thread distance would be possible as long as the overall result was the same.

Cheers guys :-D

7 of us!? Are we a crew? I'd be up for a bit of a ride/drink mash up.

just a couple of those charlie stickers come today, Didn't get the bob marley one though. Gutted. Love it.

Hey everyone,

Been lurking for a while (and thinking about it, i've been signed up for a while) but just thought i'd say hi and introduce myself. Im gonna post a pic of the bike and the face in the appropriate thread so if any see's me about say hi.

Oli.

who knows what the future holds! Those aren't expensive wheels so I'm sure they won't be there forever. Right now though I just wanted somthing light and strong. I'm not exactly a purist.. Closet roadie maybe :-/

cheers guys. I didn't know about dolan working for/being cougar. Il paste the ad here later on, can't ATM as I'm on iPhone, but yeah it said handbuilt by terry dolan for rob hayles (I may have this wrong... Will edit) as a sprint frame. I'm guessing he's about 6ft as the frame fits me spot on which is good as you don't get much play on the seat post :-)

Hey everyone!

Thought i'd stick a pic on here of my current half bike!

I had a charge plug which i just sold on that there ebay. It was nice, just a bit heavy and the mrs and i have a really, really small flat so somthing had to go.

Annyway, it's a cougar! Bought off ebay, it's Reynolds 753 and apparently it was "handbuilt by terry dolan". Now, i'm pretty sure that's bull shit, but still i like it. Yes those are road wheels and are having a Fixxer on the back so.. it'll be fixed. Truative Omnium crank and BB, Nitto Stem, Shite Shimano headset that came with it.

No bars or seat atm, thinking of going for san marco concor but no idea what bars.

If your in nottingham and see an ugly bloke pushing his bike along whilst holding the stem say hi.

That's a 700 x 20 tyre. Don't think i could get anything else in there as it was, i reckons, made for tubs. Also, it's designed for a 650 front, but i had one on and i didnt like it :-)

Right, i'm going to post in the welcome section,

Oli.

Hey guys, I'm in notts.. Live in town. Gonna start keeping an eye out for all of you. Notts drinks sounds ace, il be there :-D I've got a power orange charge plug so if you see me say hi. Hopefully see you all around. Oli.

Hey,

Firstest post!

That's my Charge plug racer. It's pretty much standard except for...

Eggbeater SL pedals
Nitto flat bars w/ soyo grips

and it's been resprayed! House of Kolor Vermillion on the frame and good old white on the forks and bars. I want to get either an un-machined rear wheel or maybe get mine sprayed. Hmm, that's about it!

And yeah, hey everyone!

Oli.
