legal graffiti of course... ahem. i like the colour alot, im kinda leaning towards dark green

looks amazing i was thinking of having a raw finish but just out of lazyness. how did the fade turn out? it looks like a good graduation in the pics.

still on with it, and kinda low on cash flow so 50 quid will get me out and about and i can take my time on the build.. its the missus birthday early sept so wont be spending much on it that month... it being the bike.... bike being the bicycle not the missus....

Ive pm'd you ill have it if its available im in darlo and can come get it saturday

i can ref till i get ma bike sorted gman

bike is comming on ok, bit slower than i would have liked but really enjoying the build and learning loads
Got bb sorted, filed the narrow front and rear drop outs and new hubs fit nicely, cold set the rear today as it was a bit tight at 110. So just need drive set, rear cog, lockring, gonna build the wheels myself this week so next outlay is on rims and spokes. then its just little things

ive stripped the paint of the bike and primed just the forks for now, gonna build it up dry to see if everything works before i think about the final finsh.

shit there's loads left to do.

just wanted to say hello to all up in't newcastle.

I went up to newcastle at the weekend, wit missus and saw a few fixed kicking about and pretty sweet they were too.

would love to come up and meet some of you guys for a beer one time when my ride is up and working or i might jsut have a pop up and watch the polo one night.

I'd like a pair to please but not in london so can send cheque if you want to avoid paypal? ill pm u

yeah man most of the back streets roound here look like the opening scenes of Coronation street-big massive fuck off uneven cobbles. im gonna wear a bubble wrap gum shield!

dropped On-One an email asking where their hubs are sourced, but no reply as of yet. I decided to go with them anyhows and got 32 high flange in silver front and rear £35 inc P&P.

Any suggestions for rims-most of the roads where I live, have massive potholed; scraped, speed bumps and also a 2m cobbled section of road before each junction...Damn bumpy shitty raods and all that council/road tax paid.

are they manufactured in taiwan? at the same factory that makes formula/iro/system x?
then on-one may have got a similar deal?
perhaps you could call and find out. and then post the information up for us.

will do i'm...On-It

what are goldtec retailing at tho? theyre quite expensive aren't they not.

why are they so cheap

I am looking for some hubs and see On-One are selling their own branded hubs off at 15quid a pop. this seems too cheap to me, are they any good? or is it going to be a case of....*buy cheap - buy twice? *

are you having the crank moroder?

hey SimonC have you got any pics (crank) and do you ship ?

thanks just checked out freeman cycles and they have a 5S spindle with squre tapers for the raleig its 70 mm and 125mm overall length will that work??

Ill still pop down to recyke y bike to see if its a 24tpi and get a new complete bb if it is, but if not ill go down the 5S route.

Thanks everyone i seem to be getting somewhere now

Ta mate (o.t.t) ill come down t see you in the next couple of days

I dont think the frame is that old as it had the pump pegs on the top tube- but cant find what model year it is on the web -the serial number on the seat tube is NA9055448. I'd insert pics but dont even know how to do that, how useless am I! (ps thats rhetorical)

ive looked through the transmission data base and sort of understand what it all means but how do i know if the bb will fit into a 70mm raleigh shell with 26tpi?
and it isnt clear to me what spindle length will fit between the cups(55mm) if i chose to just replace this? (the cups and bearings are fine and running smoothly)

thanks -sorry if everyone is really sick of this question

Hi everyone i'm new to lfgss and wanted to ask for some help please.
I have just bought myself and old raleigh frame and am doing a first time conversion to fixed. I've read loads of times about the 26tpi and issues surrounding replacing the bottom bracket but am still confused. could anyone give me a definative answer as to what replacement bb to buy or what replacement spindle length and type i need to get the correct chain line? The bb shell measures 70 or 71mm. Ive stripped the bb down and the axle measures 135mm in total length and the middle bit of the axle measures 55mm the drive end measures 46mm and the non drive end 33mm.
any help would be greatly appreciated

I just bought the vin raleigh then logged into here and saw the message about not buying it due to it needing 26" wheels and now im thinking i should not have bought it,
will 700cc tyres be no good on this bike?
and then to rub salt in, saw the other bike in MCR for £100

Cheers Olly398
thats a good way to put -it at least if I have "something ready to roll" I can enjoy riding and upgrade as and when I have time/funds

or is that too cheap for a starting frame??
