Very tasty.
Personally, I think gum-walls would make it perfect, but that's just me.....

Download Roger Musson's wheelbuilding e-book for only £9. Pretty much everything you need to know, including how to make your own truing stand and dishing tool.

Thrashers are back on ebay:

I loved the scrambler while I had it. Hard to beat for the money. Shame all those cheap Volume frames seem to be gone now. Always fancied one.

Keep checking the classifieds and FGFS threads. Something suitable will turn up eventually. I recently sold this:

In the end it went for £200 without the wheels.

A quick look on ebay revealed this Volume Cutter V5:

These were being offered by one seller for about £169 brand new recently, so this (barely) used one should be even cheaper....

Sounds tasty.
Love those bars.
Do it.

This is mine:

I've since changed the saddle for a Turbo.

Tubs all the way!

I know it's not in the spirit of the forum, but please forgive the pseudo-sensible suggestion;

Wheel truing stand?

This thread, and going to watch my local cx, has inspired me to build this from bits from my parts-bin:

Oh, and I do like the bike in post #296, Ed

Wow indeed!
Awesome work
I particularly like the songs from the garage and the smoother outer strands

..... doubt you'll be last as there's always some old guys who get lapped.....

Sadly, this describes me :'(

See you on the hills, no doubt ;-)

If it's just the braze-on seat binder boss you need, then this may be of some help:

Item 449, 2280, 2290

I have an old frame that I'm planning on using for some sscx, can anyone recommend a good usable gear?

i know you might meed to change up or down a bit depending on terrain, but a good starter guide would be useful. I always used 32x16 on my ss mtb, but how does this translate to 700c wheels?

I'm doing exactly what you are planning and am gonna run with 34x17 for a 2:1 ratio, or 54GI on 700x32s. Bike nearly finished, stoked.

These might be of some use:

Mine's gonna be SS and old-school stylee, so I've not got much of use to you Andy....

Have you had a go, Matt?

CX bikes are the new fixeh?
I'm building two right now Andy, one for me, one for youngest son. We've been to watch some cx racing and fancy having a go. Also, cx bike makes great winter all-terrain bike.....
Wadya need?

Sigh

Yes, that picture illustrates it perfectly. Your LBS mechanic has simply not cut enough off the fork steerer/neglected to add a stem spacer. Either of which would solve your problem. No new forks required. Phew!

Received some of this in the post today.
Very pleased.
When I explained the story to my Wife of the free reflective material, posted for free, she said, "What a very nice man!"
Have a bump and some more rep.....

This definitely doesn't sound right. There should be no play. "Bedding in" usually means getting looser, not tighter.

Remove the top cap from the stem with a hex-key. Look inside. The very top of the fork steerer should be a couple of millimetres below the top edge of the handlebar stem. If it is flush, then there's no way of adjusting the tension on the bearing, so you'd need to add a narrow spacer. Then you can adjust the bearing in the normal way

I think the overall look is bang-on. Very tidy and understated indeed. Not sure how the forks fit in with that though, but that's just personal.

Srsly, Phil?

Was in, but because of this:

"i have an idea similar to nrwburn ill run it by people tonight has a hill 17miles lol waxa",

I'm not so sure.....

Farken'ell, Matt. Gutted to hear about your run-in with Lahndan traffic. Hope you're OK, but little consolation about the Moser. You'll be looking for a heavier-duty commuter bike now then?

Thanks

No takers for the frameset or wheels so decided not to split after all. Would still sell complete though, which was the original plan....
