Hi Jay,
Some interest in this complete in the Classifieds thread and would obv prefer to sell complete. No plans to split yet, but you never know....

To answer those q's, serious or not;
No splitz, complete only at this stage.
No barspinz with the standard fork,
Thanks for the PM, Shimano. You are first dibs.
Thanks for the bump, Cov. How's that Spinergy wheel holding up, BTW?

Even I know where this one is

It is with huge regret that I offer this for sale :(

Eighth-inch Scrambler frame and fork in original lacquered raw finish. 53cm. Couple of chips and such to the lacquer, nothing serious. Some discolouration coming through the lacquer where the tubes are welded, particularly around the BB and the rear brake bridge. Again, nothing serious.

Cranks are also 1/8th inch, 48-spline, raw finish.
Chainring is Profile splinedrive, 42t, black.
This transmission is totally bombproof.
Euro BB
Wheels are handbuilt. Black Shimano disc hubs, laced 36 spokes to Black Alex rims, no braking surface, never seen a brake, 700c. Sprocket is Velosolo bolt-on cog (Guaranteed for life). Schwalbe 700x32c tyres. (Might even throw in a spare pair if the price is right)
Saddle is SDG F-Style, seatpost is generic black micro-adjust fella.
BMX stem and Gusset Open Prison bars.
Chain-tugs, clear bmx pedals, Restrap straps.

What more can I say. It's a hard as nails FGFS bike that's just been used as an urban get-you-round-town bike. I'm no trickster so I think It's awesome in every way and I love it to bits. Sadly it's just not getting used as much as it deserves 'cos I've got too many bikes.

Bike is in Newcastle and can be viewed there but willing to post at cost.

Sorry for cross-posting as it's also in the FGFS section....

No offence meant, I'm pretty sure none was taken.
You have entered forum life at the deep end and have taken to it very well. Keep treading water, pretty soon you'll be doing lengths (fnar, fnar. Lube optional).

Keep practicing mounting tyres. Get someone with experience of a good technique to show you how. Someone local is bound to be along soon.

Word of warning though children. Cycle-speedway is as dangerous as it looks. I'm currently nursing a slightly dislocated shoulder with a sprinkle of ligament damage thrown in for good measure. Among the other recent injuries within the club are a fractured/dislocated thumb or two, broken collar-bones and some broken ribs.

Many of you will have seen it at the many fixed-gear gatherings around Toon. Some of you have ridden it. You know the score, it's fuckin' hardcore. ;)

Can be viewed in Cramlington, (or Newcastle by arrangement) and can deliver within reason.

Complete bargain at £295

Tell it how it is, I reckon.
Besides, it's not like the tester to hold back ;)

It's always possible that cauchi8 just caught me on a bad night when my patience for this kind of nonsense is at a particularly low point, but people who know me say that I'm always like this and that I'm just a curmudgeonly old cunt....

Sometimes I think that 99% of questions in 'mechanics & fixin' deserve the response 'you are indeed an idiot', but then again, I'm just an idiot.

Hello all. My first post. A question: I have Ofmega high flange hubs on Ambrosio Extra Rims. They are a nightmare to fit a modern tyre onto. Is it a good idea to replace the old rims with something modern? Thanks

If your rims are 700c (622mm) which I believe they are, then HTFU and learn how to fit tyres properly. Yes, some tyre/rim combinations can be a bit of a bitch but, generally, you should be able to fit tyres to rims without using tyre levers. If you are trying to fit 700c tyres to older 27x1-1/4 (630mm) rims then you are indeed an idiot.

Hope that helps and sorry if I've misjudged you.....

Yeah, Ricky. I've seen them used as a road bike with a road fork. Less toe overlap than with the dead-straight speedway fork. Quite a handy all-rounder really for the price. £99 for f+f, cant go wrong! The 26x1-3/8 wheels give the bike a vintagey kinda feel too.

Tidy!

Been awesome so far Ricky.
Brakeless, singlespeed, 4 riders, 4 laps, on shale, all shoulders and elbows, keep turning left.
Did I mention it's brakeless?
Just feckin' awesome!

Check some of this shit out....

Sanders uses jizz ;)

Anyone gonna be about for polo on Sunday?

I've had no word from the buyer so, yes, it is still for sale.

Could clear up l8r - anybody out there wanna play

Was wondering this meself earlier, but no life on the forum since last week so I've made other plans now.

Mmmmm, burritos :/'

finally getting a new back wheel, do i keep the same colours (yellow rear and black front) or do i go all black?

All black.

Given the controversial nature of said wheel, I think this might have been a rhetorical question.....

Nice one john .. Weather is supposed to be particularly evil ... Great news for Vale ... and if i was Mr Honda i'd be getting the checkbook out and showing him around Stoners bike

Looks like patchy rain over the Silverstone area on Saturday and a chance of clearer on Sunday* (maybe!)*. Who knows? Should add up to an exciting weekend, either way!

Ha, ha, would be a major losing of face for Hondasan to sign Vale again, methinks. They have long memories.

I'm away this weekend so no polo for me. Going down to Silverstone to see my old mate Valentino ;)

Tristan, grow your arms ..... your bike reminds me quite how 'ickle you are.

Like a T-rex on a bike...

Hopefully this will get more people coming...

If anyone can get free printing at work or wherever we could hand some out at the roller derby, put them in cafes etc.

Yeah, 'cos we've never tried *that *before.....

Well spotted, Leigh. V funny.
Was gonna say foot retention fail, but then realized it's actually a complete lifestyle fail....
