Hmmm how hard would you say building a wheel is for the first time? i may invest in one of these possibly

no one knows what the 'bikes which look like animals' thread URL is?

can anyone give me a link to the 'bikes which look like animals' thread, cant find it on search and was mentioned on the squirell thread

thanks

haha, thats pretty good!

lol good post!

oh sorry :(

Hey guys,
What do you think are the threads on the forum, e.g most informative, funny etc

Thanks,
Will

thats pretty good, built many wheelsets?

the one which looks like a motorbike wheel does have a motorbike wheel in but its meant for mountain bike wheels (apparently according to my mate) hehe! that S1 looks quite nice

you could get the basic park one for that i think, let me fetch the link, http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=13250 - its £110 :(
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/SearchResults.aspx?Search=truing - heres some other stands
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=32193 - heres the park one i wasnt thinking of but its £80 hard to argue with a price like that from park

EDIT - oh and if you do decide to get one of these (or anything from CRC) don't buy it from there if its out of stock, im still waiting 3 months on for some out of stock pedals, only bad experience, anything in stock should be with you within a week (in my case so far)

i really got my heart on an old frame, its just something i really want to do, get an old frame and give it a new paintjob and make it look the business! a classic looking bike, mind i do quite like charge plug and specialized langster frames so if anyone has or knows anyone who is sellling one cheap i would be much obliged

I have already looked at that but im looking for something cheap an old frame preferably
thanks

oh just in case i cant find a case in my area where would you suggest i look online? ebay?
Thanks

^ such a shame i think i could just about get away with it, oh wait the 'community officer' would nick it, pikey S.O.B lol if i just rode about and used it i would get away with it!

thanks for the help, il be sure to check out that list lucas, wow just looked now, looks fantastic, im sure i wont need much help if i have all of that information, much appreciated!

yeh i know hehe!

hehe

sounds good then 2 positive reviews, has anyone got that straight bar from velosolo, the 'squeeze' bar? and (im sure loadz of you have one of these) a 'nitto dynamic Forged Quill Stem 25.4mm Clamp' at £37 looks like quite a good deal?

Thanks

Ah ok, might go for them then unless anyones selling some older better ones on the cheap :)

Does anyone know whether the sugino RD cranks are any good? they look the business

what should i go for, i have to say the seguino messenger cranks are :O amazing, but i dont think i can pay £135 for cranks! if anyone has any old ones for sale thats a totally different story :D hehe but if anyone does have any good cranks on sale im very interested!

thanks for the help, il go have alook for that thread now :)

Hi Guys,
I was thinking of building up a frame (im probably looking for some old raleigh or peugeot frame, so until i've got that i cant start, obviously!) i have about £500 budget and was not sure where to put the money, i was looking at hubjub and, god, those nitto bars, got to have one of them, probably one of the drops so thats about £45 gone, then a seguino crank (the cheapest) £65 and then im am lost on which wheels to buy, im going to try and use the headset on the frame, and il probably buy a stronglight stainles steel ring and a dura ace cog for the wheel, a KMX chain (whatever i need 1/4 / 3/38" etc) a shimano BB oh an a nitto stem (possibly) if anyone has any parts going spare i might take snap them up :) oh and tyres, how much should i spend and which should i get i heard those soma everwears are good but at £40 a tyre, thats ridiculous (in my opinion) hehe.

Anyway, thanks (oh and any links to older threads would be very helpful as well, and i have searched around a fair bit)

Will

if they were the dish wheels i would snap them up but there not :( shame

*me (sorry for double posting)
