I'm watching a couple actually, good call, know anything about the Kona Paddy wagon?

Mate of mine had a Paddywagon and didn't have a bad thing to say about it. He only sold it when he emigrated. Not a bad off-the-peg bike, although it wouldn't be my first choice. Langsters, Charge Plugs, Fujis and even Dolan Precursas all seem to be popular first bikes.

Plenty of folks on here started out with a converted road bike of some description (not a bad place to start and a good way to learn the necessary skills) or a cheap-n-nasty thing like the Create (probably best avoided unless you are terminally poor) or even a second-hand Charge Plug, Fuji Track or whatever takes your fancy. You appear to have the necessary skills to build yourself something if budget is really tight, otherwise just keep checking out the classifieds thread 'till something in your size and price range comes up. Beware London prices though, and hipster tax!

Hi Ol,
I'm out due to shoulder injury from speedway crash. I can ride a bike, but competitive mallet swinging is out of the question I'm afraid.....

Yup!

RIm-tape? Hahaha! What are you guys thinking? Clearly the water is getting in to the spoke holes or valve hole and is 'sloshing' about between the two walls of the rim. Beyond the rimtape is where the tube lives and there's no space for any water there if the tyre is inflated.

Really don't want to, but I might have to consider splitting this if there's enough interest in the frameset.

After some inquiries about the wheels and the cranks, I may have to consider splitting this if there's a buyer for the frameset....

Not with the standard fork. With a Charge Scissor fork, or similar, you can barspinz.

This splinedrive transmission is fully awesome and the absolute sex
Anyone who doesn't think so, go to the back of the class

Thanks for the bump Rik. I agree, and have seen a few Scrambler polo bikes, particularly in the States.

Thanks Leon. No hard feelings, these things happen ;)

Remove cranks, remove BB.

Clean BB threads and tapers and re-grease threads (assuming alloy BB cups)

Reinstall BB, reinstall cranks, to correct torque

Also, check chainring bolts are tight while you're at it

..... so what else could I get for £590. or less that is light and modern ? ( as well as the cannondale )

Giant's Defy range has models at your price-point, with triple or compact chainsets. Award-winning and widely respected. I wouldn't even consider a Boardman in this company.

....and even if you do 'upgrade', there are much better bikes for the money.....
