Would prefer to sell locally because of the local historical connection of the bike, but it'll be going up on the main forum soon.

I tried, Phil. I really did!
I wrote several biting, incisive and ridiculously amusing posts but deleted each one. It's all just a bit too.........well, ....unsporting.

Yes Nige, the freehub body is missing (black part in pic:)

so it'll need a freehub, singlespeed cog in size of your choice, some spacers and a locknut. Then you'll have a singlespeed freewheel bike. There's no threaded part to spin on a track cog. Oh, and you'll need a spindle and some bearings!

Hi Nigel,
I've got a pair of 700c hybrid wheels if that's any good. They're alloy rims, slightly wider than racer wheels, the rear is shimano freehub, but the freehub body is missing, and both wheels are missing their spindles and bearings. Overall a nice set of wheels with just a small amount of work/expense to complete. Free to a good home.

Tourney practice this afternoon?

Def interested in the Bristol tourney. Dave too. Would be great if there was enough interest to take a couple of teams. Unfortunately neither of us will be at polo today, so will follow developments on the forum.

Been taking wheel-nut-tightening lessons from Andy? ;)

Count us in

Anyone up for polo this afternoon?
Do we know who has the other ball?

Ha-ha-ha!

Brilliant ;)

Bike's done, see you there. Who else is going?

Are we still on for tomorrow?

Agreed... A 52 is the sort of size I look for, so would prob fit you.

Oh, and my Ofmega chainset arrived today. Fuggin gorgeous!!! Frame has been stripped, rubbed down and primed, ready for topcoat tomorrow. Still in with a chance it'll be ready for Sunday if there are no hiccups with the build.

Yup. Bought mine online last night. Today I saw the weather forecast for the weekend. Ho-hum, at least the wind is gonna be in the right direction.

Split it?

Might be interested in the wheels, what are they?

It's always tempting to buy something when offered it just because it's there and available and ticks some of your boxes, but the truth is you know it's the wrong size for you and it would make your life a misery in the long run. Hard as it sounds, it is probably best for you to keep looking for something more suitable, otherwise you'll get emotionally attached to this frame and it will be the beginning of a long and painful one-sided and ultimately unrewarding love affair. The longer you own it, the more difficult it will be to get rid of it, and it will break your heart.

The painful truth

Who did you book it through, Phil? The website I was looking at didn't mention anything about being able to book bike places.

Er...Bump, merge, UTFS, etc, etc... ;)
