second dibs if mr doman backs out

so im after some bits. im looking to pay as little as possible but i may pay a bit more for nice stuff. most stuff i dont mind scratches and it being beaten up.

cranks - double, preferably with chainrings around 53/48 ish
bars - flat bars
brakes - the whole shebang would be good. just some dual pivot calipers and some mtb style levers to go on the flat bars
front mech - clamp on style bottom put for 2 speed
stem - 1" quill 8cm or less
singlespeed chain tensioner - one that goes in place of a derailleur, not the chain tug kinda things
freewheel - havnt made up my mind on size yet so anything goes
rear hub - 32 hole and hopefully like this because i have that front one

there really is no need to get it back to raw. if anything it is a bad move because it will give you less scratch resistance. for a really nice job, just sand down the original paint and then primer over it and carry on as normal. you can just sand it and go straight to colour but a lot of paints are transparent and you will see any painted on decals etc through it and it can change the colour a bit from what you are expecting. i have a bmx and i have sprayed it a countless number of times. the best and most solid times where when i just sanded down the original paint until it was matte all over and then did a few light coats of colour followed by at least a whole can of laquer. halfords paint is the best ive managed to get hold of in just your average shop. and another tip, lots of light coats are better than a thick one. it is annoying because of the extra time but the results speak for themselves

do you have a chainring to fit the sugino's?

dibs on brakes. pm coming now

i plainly have no idea at all. i have only been bmxing for 4 years and using chainring spacers for the most part to space out 10mm axles to 14mm dropouts in a situation that experiences a lot more force than on a track or road bike. if you have small nuts just put a washer behind the nut, i was trying to save you both time and effort by suggesting something that you most probably already have and you go and be an arse about it.

im interested in the raleigh but what is the tt length?

just a hint but you can use chainring spacers and then you dont have the annoying flange.

interested in the 50mm 1.4, whats your price?

i will pay 70 posted for it?

if you will post this i will take it right away?

post the wheels?

the main reason is the offset really. i like to have my seat in a position where my post cant quite get to because of the offset.

ill take the primo and sort something out. paypal?

well i figured it would be cheaper to get that and bolt it ontop of my current post (a stock one from an old racer) than try and guess the size i have. it has the top part that goes in and it happens to be the same diameter as a quill stem. i dont have any callipers so i cant find out the size of the post to buy a new one. and also i would like a seat post wih no offset

do you think i could bash it over the top of my post or is it just too small?

how much posted on the primo rod?

bit of an odd question but can you fit a quill stem for 1" threaded forks in the bottom snugly?

interested in these wheels which weinmann rims are they? do they match? and how deep is this black v rim? when would be a good time to come and see the stuff if i do come (i replied to the stem and bars thread)?

were in bristol are you? can i come and see?

also intereste din the price?

bmx bars are the same outside diameter all the way along, except the crossbar

bump

im after 2 700c rims. deep v style. something like some rigida dp18's or along htose lines. not a massive budget to spend on them. can be in bad condition as they are going on a hack bike. at least one needs to be 36hole or something i can make work (e.g. 28) but not bothered about the other one.

5 posted on the seat?

@lobbster, I bought the saddle off another forum member (who shall remain nameless) under the impression that it was in perfect order, i got it home to find that the rail had a rather large crack in it, i used it as i had no other choice, it was fine as the crack is where you clamp on, just a little annoying as it squeaks when you ride!

i suspect it may be cracked right through but i don't want to go poking it around as it looks like it may not be

i will post if you want it

sounds ok. ghow much are you after posted? my bike sqeeks a lot anyway lol

im interested in the charge saddle. will you post it? and how is it about to snap?
