Getting a 2011 Fuji Track CLassic this week and really fancy putting a quill stem set up on it at some point. Anyone done this before or know if its possible? And if so any recommendations what stem to go for?

Cheers

short answer: no

mate, go to youtube and look for videos as you're obviously young and dumb and need to learn quickly instead of relying on Lfgss

when i was younger i was taught that steam from a kettle could fix these sorts of problems... ah the tenderloins of today, live and learn my friend

Couldn't get the bottom bracket off @chucklebruv's frame so in the market again, anything over 55cm less than 50 pounds.

G.B.H. will probably whip that out for free, i can do it at mine, with my vice and file

forgot it was there... i can have a go rebuilding that bb maybe

langster?

dunno

at the "bicycle village" a month ago, hosted by, i think, the guy who runs the bike rental around the back of Jacksons Boat
there were several immensely interesting ancient bicycles including a penny farthing (and rider) . so, go to jacksons, talk to the guy and he might still have their details.

alternatively there is a penny farthing at the science and industry museum, in the aviation shed

I'm well up for giving this a go but literally have o equipment or a suitable bike. What's the cheapest to get set up and ready to roll.

Saturday morning, from 10am. beginner sessions in chorlton park.

Cost : 0

I'll be there, you can get a feel for things

I'm well up for giving this a go but literally have o equipment or a suitable bike. What's the cheapest to get set up and ready to roll.

Not much needed. single speed bike with as close to 1:1 ratio as you can get, very good back brake, quality rear tyre, any durable gloves, and some pads if you want to protect your knees but jeans are good enough.

Most important ingredient is : going for it

1. cheapest ready to go bike is probably the Vitamin C Btwin (decathlon) i remember it costs £60 .

2. another good choice * if youre around 5'6"or less is a steel Archie Wilkinson Speedway bike which costs £220

otherwise, any sort of bike which you can single speed and give a decent brake and which also does not have exposed chainrings, bar ends or stunt pegs or otherwise be unsafe for others will be good.
in upgrades down the line you will consider upgrading wheels, thicker/tougher tyres ( like $pecialised crossroad$ for 26 inch or nimbus for 700c) and a double-brake-single-lever set-up.

I know this bike has been posted a milllllion times but this pic is new from Brenton Salo
