Has anyone had,tried,own a moust-ache duffle bag ? If yes any chance of an a opinion ?

they don't look too good tbh...and that joke brown "fixie" they have for sale...who needs their brooks seat spanner with them at all times?

i was just about to post the exact same thing...i saw one of their roll top backpacks in a shop here in Toronto this week, very very solid bags.

does anyone know anything about these guys based in Taiwan?http://www.evo.com.tw/manufacturer/23070/23070.html
anyone ordered anything from them??

i now know what brand the forks are.
I thought that the frame builder would want to keep this info to himself to protect a sale. just goes to show that presumption is the mother of all fuck-ups as he has just given me a link to the website where he gets them.
a taiwan based company: http://www.evo.com.tw/detail/99794/99794.html

in the mean time i have also found these guys based in the UK who sell a columbus trekking fork, seems like a great option to me! http://www.ceeway.com/carbon%20forks.htm

Cant help you with those^

But I have a carbon CX fork on the commuter with, lowriders, canti mounts, and mudguard eyelets. Its a Bontrager Satelite. Picked it up cheap off Ebay. You could look for one of them.

cheers, ill keep my eyes out - seem like a cheaper option!

yeah, i think ill ask him straight up...make it sound like i want to do some research on them, durability etc.... but he wants $285 (CAD) for a pair. which i think is a little steep! but i can't seem to find any other forks like these on the net.
the guy, who is the frame builder shown above is clearly a great frame builder, and one of only a few out here from what i can tell, so i don't want to nark him off by trying to undercut him when he could be the very guy i turn to for a new touring frame in the future...

carbon fork (this one is painted, normally black) with lowrider bosses, canti mounts for touring...any ideas??
thanks.

Hi, can anyone identify these forks. They are carbon, painted. they have lowrider bosses, canti mounts, and mudguard eyelets.
I can buy them from a guy near here, but they are expensive, and he hasn't told me the brand - don't think he wants to, and i don't want to push it! (he doesn't make them i don't think).
any ideas?

ta.

Bontrager Satellite Elite Carbon forks would look good on a pomp.

anyone ever seen/owned a pomp with surly cross check forks??

I've got 35mm on mine at the min and planning to fit chromoplastics too...i can't see why not, there is good clearance still, i think i just need to lengthen my chain by a link to give me more clearance against the seat tube.
Ill let you know how it goes if i get round to it soon, if you try, post up on here how it goes.

Kona p2.

My pompino is now alive and well in Toronto. At some point (when i have some money) i will paint it. at the moment seriously considering a basket to do the shopping on it.

thank you

thank you

Hi, i have utfs...no luck.
Question:
is there a type of screw on freewheel you can buy that threads onto a fixed thread?? (i have fixed/fixed hub - with a stepped thread on both sides for cog and lock ring application).

Thanks...
chris.

i can imagine riding along trying to button on your rapha arm warmers. WTF?!
these are 8quid and require no button:

i spoke with chas roberts about this and he advised against raw + clear coat, but said that a "clear powdercoat" finish would be more durable, but still not as good as a coloured paint.

(he has a raw clear coated 953 (stainless) frame in his shop that is truly amazing).

#justtellheritsforherandrideitwhenshesnotlooking

thats exactly what i did.

Raleigh 20 for sale.
Its in ok condition, i.e. you can ride it and it works fine. but it certainly isn't a show bike, marks scratches etc on the paint. The three speed stermy archer hub works, it has new tyres.
The seat needs to be replaced, or someone with a magic touch do something with the bolt that holds it in place because it slips back which is a little annoying!
Thats its front mud guard that needs fitting, i never did.
£40 - a lovely project for someone?

i still have these bars + stem.
£10

3 speed stermy archer shifter. like this:

£5

pick up in withington this week only, im leaving for canada at the weekend.

ah, i don't know what to do. Im just about to depart for toronto, and the winter could really mess it up if it turns out to be a waste of time...might see about a clear powdercoat...

Taxi, Can you please tell me what lacquer you used? has it taken well? durable?- it certainly looks pretty bad ass, and i need something to do in august!

and sorry, chris, i just re-read my post, i sounded like a nob, ignore me!

.

its a large too. i guess he wasn't looking hard enough!

picked up this frame and fork from ebay for 51quid. it was either this or a steam roller, no brainer at this price.

just thought i would add my 2p.

i have been a customer of ribble for the last few years with no issues at all, infact i would have suggested anyone order from them. until this last week!

i placed an order that was dispatched on the 6th of july and according to their times due delivery in 1-3 days. the order never showed up, fair enough, not their fault. checked with post office, dead end.

called ribble on friday who suggest that i should order again and i can pick up on saturday (i happened to be going to blackburn), then they will refund my original order. no probs.

online about to re order, notice i cant get the same discount code as before, so i call up, guy on the phone says to me "dont worry about it, just come here and we can give you a replacement". perfect.

off i go to ribble to find out that this is not possible, and they cant take a new order in their "shop" as they dont take money there(?!). i'm a little pissed off as to all intent i had driven 40mins based on something said to me by them for nothing.

they were very rude, culminating in them accusing me of making up that i had spoken to someone on the phone on friday, and then telling me a lie claiming that only two people were there on friday and neither of them spoke to me.

i tried to suggest that in this instance an apology for making me drive up there was the best possible course of action, their response: laughing. leading me me leaving the shop.

i will be getting a refund from them, and i will never shop there again, or suggest that anyone else does.

i thank you. rant over.

i just noticed this thread i started yonks ago...i ended up getting hope pro3 laced to ambrosio rims, built by a friend of mine, amazing.
