Oh by Christ... More pics please! This could be the one

I make that a dent too...

As scratches go, they're not really that bad. I know that having scratches on a frame with such a huge reputation/history is unusual, but it doesnt make it a rat, just a nice bike that someone has ridden with reasonable care and not wrapped in cotton wool and put on their mantelpiece.

Definately got a bit of a rat look to it... I don't care what you say

I'm up for a ride this friday

To be honest I think Nasri heading off for 25mil with so little left on his contract is good business by Arsene/nal

Its long, its hipster, its nice... Better than the real mash anyway

That's a lovely bike

^Not in 24 hole, the reason why we are discussing this :p

Norwich liiiike, thanks for the help!

Thanks for all the help guys...

FWIW I agree with all of that hugo. I dont really class it as modifying to be honest. whip in a threaded axle, with spacers and bolts (I have hollow axles which have yet to kill me). Then bolt on a cog.

The only issue, I can think of, is chainline.

I've seen the threaded axles available from Velosolo website,

Will it work? I can't believe that this type of axle will be able to convert any type of MTB hub specifically the DT one that Hugo suggested... Am I wrong?

Is this a custom Parlee? I need one!

Anyone? I'm spending big on a new frame, quite like the look of this, or van nic chinook track...

Is this a custom Parlee? I need one!

Oh look, a Precursa. £80 delivered next day, very well done Dolan.

• Just hope it doesn't look like one of flickwgs bikes
  
  

Eh??? 80 quid, on their website!!!???!? Tell meeee

Holy fuck that looks amazing!

Interestingly I spoke to chainreactioncycles about converting the DT hub that Hugo recommended, solid axle and dismantling the hub etc...

I received this in reply,

*You will be hard pushed to get a 24h track hub and unfortunately we only stock 32h hubs. I gather that you are building a 24 carbon wheel so I have attached a link below to somewhere you may be able to get some.

The MTB option will not work whatsoever as it would be extremely dangerous to modify something that is not even close to what you are wanting it to do.*

Dangerous? Is it really that dangerous? I would have thought the forces exerted on the hub from disc braking would always exceed those of a track cyclist's thighs?

So, does anyone know of any other 20/24/28 hole track hubs other than suntour superbe and american classic?

Or alternatively does any one know what I would need to convert this to track?

Oh yes of course! Will UTFS on that one

Thanks Hugo those american classic hubs look perfect.

Why do you say modified MTB hub, lightness? The am classic hubs are 100g lighter...

Aquero looks very exciting, still see him becoming unhappy like Tev for some reason

As an Arsenal fan, don't want Tev, he's only bad news...


So i'm thinking of buying a set of these, 24 hole 88mm deep carbon fibre tubulars...

But the issue that I am having is finding 24 hole track hubs or alternatively 20 hole track hubs. I've been through the list of lists for hubs and can't find anything helpful. Any recommendations?

Granted Gervinho went down easily

Wasn't even a dive, just saw it motd...

I fancy coming to have a watch, only got a very unpolo Bob Jackson...

Where/When?

Soperriva you got a picture of your geek(house?)?

Stock market recovered a little today, Nasdaq showing the greatest increase of 5.29%
