i'll have my black andel 48t with mks pedals, clips and leather straps available next week for 50 quid.
not exactly like the picture... few scratches.

looks good liquid, what are you running on the back with a 48t?

If you dont have friends or anyone else with bike knowledge then building takes time as you teach yourself - forum peeps are friendly and will help you out but you gota learn on your own buddy.

Get yourself a off-the-peg - Inevitably, you need to crawl before you walk and will tumble and fall while you learn about your new bike. Then, add parts and learn more and customise bits slowly as you see fit.

I agree. I bought a Unacoster (or Unabomber as I prefer) and have replaced everything but the frame and brakes so far. Picked up a bike off ebay and now fixing it up as my first project. Oh, just put a "Wanted" sign up, if anyone has a chain set for sale give me a holla!

Hello all,

building up a new toy and need a chain set. Does anyone have a spare chain set (and cranks attached) knocking around or can recommend a cheap(ish) one. Looking to blow about £40-50 of my hard earned pay. open to offers or suggestions, 44t or closest match wins!

Be quick as got paid today and the cash probably won't last long.

To stick on a mid 80s Raleigh Record on a Reynolds 501 frame. As far as I know the bb is just a bog standard one

you need to remove the forks and headset, (they can remove this for you for at cost as well I've read previously)

Thanks for that, I'll look into how easy it is to take the h/s & forks off (and then more importantly get them back on) myself and if any special tools then I'll just stump up the cash

I spoke to the guys at Armourtex a couple of weeks ago. If you can't take your bottom brackett off they'll do it for you for a fiver.

On a different note, if i am getting my frame and forks painted do i need to take the forks off?

Hi, just picked up a couple of Gekkos from Rutland Cycles, £10 each which seems much cheaper than any where else i've seen. Not spam, just thought I'd let people know. Their ebay shop is cheaper than their online shop too.

I dont think it needs marinating if its going to be smoked...

That all depends on what is being smoked...

Price for just the brake caliper?

Just sold the front one for £5 and a bag of porkscratchings, have the rear one if that is of any use at all. Same price if interested

I'll take some batteries if anyone has some lights they want to sell me. Lost the rears catseyes as they got run over by three taxis in a row (they survived the first two) and then my front light turned out not to be water resistant and has now died.

what's the width of the bars and length of the stem?

The bars are 40cm width and the stem is 15cm

I've just stuck two front wheels on fleabay. If people are looking for a front wheel and as long as no bids happy to end early

what's the width of the bars and length of the stem?

I have the measurements at home so once I have them I'll put them up

Hi,
I have taken these off my Raleigh that I'm doing up so if anyone fancies a set of handlebars, front brake, stem and riser let me know. Any questions fire away, looking for £25 plus - think thats a fair price but open to negotiations

Bigger pictures are in my albums under my profile, they are in good condition apart from some scuffing where the bike was stored upside down

Hi all, I couldn't add the photos onto this for some reason but they are in my profile, I'll try adding again later but feel free to have a browse.

Here is a link to them http://www.londonfgss.com/members6661-albums442.html

Sounds great, post it on the Eilidh Memorial Photo Thread as well. I would use Vimeo rather than You Tube as well - better quality :-)

Where is the thread for the photos, I have a couple to stick up. I have them in my profile albums but they'll just collect dust there.

P.S If anyone wants some gears they'll also be coming off

I had my first ride on it yesterday on the way home from work where i got it delivered. Didn't see a pot hole and double blow out as the inners are so old.Luckily I was in Grays Inn Road so £10 spent quickly in Condor sorted it.

I'll check measurements later, and if anyone can recommend someone/where I can get a rear flip flop wheel that would be amazing.

I've decided I don't like the handle bar/brakes on the bike, it didn't feel right to me. If anyone is interested in the handlebars and brake levers let me know, I'm going back to bull horn, i'll stick a picture up tomorrow if anyone is interested.

Off out for a bite to eat, in case anyone reads this who went on the ride today, brilliant seeing you all, a magnificent sight, despite the odd arsey taxi driver

Afternoon all, after bazzing about town on an off the shelf s/s and doing little bits and pieces to it along the way I thought I would do my own first build conversion.

I picked this Raleigh Sprint bike with a 501 frame off fleabay and so I was going to stick pictures/updates/ask for suggestions and help here.

Unless there are any objections and that won't be a suitable use for the forum?

So far the things I would like to do to it (in an ideal world where I have money) in no particular order:

New aero wheel set with Flip Flop wheel and hub with 15t fixed/16t free
42t Chain ring (black body and silver teeth)
New cranks
Powder coating - some sort of shiny/sparkly black

Soooo..... any thoughts, comments or ideas all welcome

Be nice peops as I'm coming on my own and don't know any of you folks

what is a suitable grease for these sort of purposes, at the moment i've been using one i got from evans for greasing everythin, threads the lot.

http://209.85.229.132/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4SUNA_enGB315GB315&q=cache:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.evanscycles.com%2Fproducts%2Ffinish-line%2Fnew-formula-grease-35oz-ec005911

is this stuff suitable, or have i been barking up the wrong tree?

Hmmmm, picked same stuff up from Cycle Surgery for £7.99. Bastards, thats £2 they owe me

I work in Holborn so I'll keep my eyes peeled........fnar fnar eyes peeled - monkey - get it? sigh - i'm wasting my talents here. The guy sounds a loon. Oh and on another Holborn notes the police bikes were ticketing people jumping the red light on corner of Chancery lane/holborn. And I mean the "proper" Chancery Lane, not the tube station lights

48 x 18, and a half link chain.

48x18 is the gear of the vert drop gods.
every single of the 3 ive converted have worked out just fine ( the first 2 before discovering the wonderment of half link chains).

eccentric anything is too much money tbh.

Ello 'brows,

So it would be a fairly simple thing to do? This would be my first full build but i think i've fallen for the frame.

If I knew how to work with vertical drop outs i'd love this Stan Butler, only £23 at the minute

Yep I had emailed him and he was asking for about £400. Might see if he relists!

I thought £4 plus £35 for postage was a fair deal ;-)

I went up to £100 but he wasn't keen

Ah, I am looking at doing this, but got the cold shoulder from a firm - will remain nameless.
Can you recommend any Umbrella Companies?

Regards,
Andy.

I work in Recruitment (for my sins) and deal with umbrella companies, if you are still needing some names happy to recommend
