sorry, must have missed it, agreed next

read most of the pages so i hope i haven't skipped over the posting of this beauty! :

just tell him since he's not good at building bicycle (if it that what you're saying), he'll end up spending a lots of money getting the bike shop to put it together for him.
tried that, i even worked it out for him!
think about it £165 frame + £70 wheels + £40 cranks + £35 for bar stem and post, £20 for brake callipers + £10 for levers + £25 for a pair of tyres + £20 chain and cog £10 for grips + £30 for assembly including bb facing, headset facing, Grease and cables = £425

right need some advice / words of discouragement, my (bicycley challenged) friend is considering buying that £95 visp joby of teabay to build up as a ss, rather than buy something along the lines of an SE Draft or a 2nd hand charge or similar, can anyone say something that i can send to him to talk him out of it please?

That's very pretty - not too sure about the purple, the badger wheels,the crank finishing way after the pedal thread,the over usage of knogs, the bar angle and the fact its a fuji though - guess I'm a bit old-fashioned like that - am just about to send away a '69 Hetchins fixed for resto - think I'll post a before and aft pic - it's gonna be awesome ay?
fixed™ and Texas Steel, maybe a that was a post for current porkjets? -
Wrong thread bro! http://www.lfgss.com/thread6261-522.html

Ok on the bar width issue, took the Carlton out for it's first ride, only 25miles but the ride was very comfortable and the width certainly helped on some of the steeper hills

Opinion, not fact. Not everyone wishes to look like a fixie curryer.
^ this, as i am using this bike as my primary means of transport for the next few months i've advocated comfort over fixie™ looks

What rims are they on hobo's bike?
EDIT: Plus HOLY SHIZZLE, HOW WIDE ARE THOSE BARS!
Just sayin....Haven't chopped the bars yet as I don't have a large amount of dense traffic to contend with on my commute so i've left them at 680mm bullhorns are 40s so they look a little more sensible but I'm waiting for a shim to come through to fit them, (hence not fitted in the picture)
-
Right so my carlton is finally finished:
there is also a pair of (less offensive) black taped bullhorns that will be used on longer rides
be nice -
womens scratch crash was terrible, poor girls

im in stratford upon avon so condor isnt really an option
-
i work in a lbs! we don't have one and the poor kid has been running around trying to find one, been to all the local ones so i figured i'd help him out by posting on here,
-
anyone have anything, kinda want to help the poor kid out
-
ok, so i'm guessing there will be days where i will be crap and have to switch my rear wheel round to the freewheel to get home, so has anyone got one of those clamp on brakes and mounts, silver please, ultimately want something like this but i'm a bit tight and don't need the lever or cable, anyone got anything?
cheers all -
Saw this in a Lancaster bike shop window
A quick Google search shows this to be the work of Townsend Cycles in Cambridge
