Is the beater already sold?...

and i've got first dibs on the mtb, also pending some info

Excellent, I am interested I've just got some stuff to sell myself before i can afford it, if you're not in a rush that is?

sweet zombie jesus thats lovley

First up a Sugino Maxy 171mm crankset, the rings are 52/40t I'm also including the original Sugino BB too (I will split if both can be accounted for). They're both in pretty good condition, could of nicks & pedal marks on the cranks.( see photos).

** £50 (ono) posted for the both. or £40 & £10 if they're split.**

Giant TCR Team T-Mobile Carbon Forks with alloy ends. This is what they look like on the orignal frameset (thats not my bike btw, I bought the forks separately), I had them on my visp (i'll though in the matching clarkes lock on grips if you want). They're really nice, stiff and light, something like 380g if you can stand the colour. They're a bit chipped and marked in places but nothing serious and certainly nothing that'll effect they're strength. The steer is 210mm and I'm also including the carbon specific wedge for the top cap.

sold.

PM'd about the beater, and the person who gets that 853 will be a lucky man indeed!

Am i right in thinking it'll work with EN-EL3e's and it charges one then the other, not both at the same time? you taking offers?

4.30 and all is wellll......

5:10 am and still no payment from wingedangel for that dura-ace hub...

I hold my breath when going over cattle grids no idea why I also it down in the shower, i think developed from being sort sighted and havig to get close to the bottles to see what was what.

Sorry Mate I already had it off him and built it

Surely you could get one cheaper in the US though?

I had a ghostbusters BMX

needs an aero seat post.
What do you find better about it than the visp? just curious.

I agree on the aero seatpost, But its hard to find one thats that short for a reasonable price, I can't justify 70 quid on one just atm. I'm currently investigating getting some kind of fairing that'll fit over a 27.2 post. if anyone has one please let me know as they're not easy things to find.

And its better than my visp in a lot of ways, its stiffer, lighter, better made, nice welds, drop outs are the right size and the seatpost is 27.2 not 27.6. Dont get me wrong I like (i was going to sell it but I'm thinking about keeping as my beater/pub bike) my visp but the little faults niggled at me a bit.

I know Leaders aren't exactly popular on here but I've almost finished my new 735tr. Its 61cm frame and its the first frame that i've had that fits me correctly.

(I know the photos not the best, but i only had my phone at the time.)
I'm just waiting on an aero steer tube spacer, to make the gap between headset and stem less jarring, and a 3/32 black half-link chain. I have a few other little adjustments to make, saddle and bars, though tbh i probably wont be using these bars unless I'm on the track, after i broke my wrist/hand in several places i can't get on with drops they hurt my hand too much. I'll probably go with bull bars.
Frame: Leader 735TR 61cm (thanks to 'therocket130')
Forks: Columbus Tusk Air
Wheels: Novatec hubs on Wienmann Pegasus 40mm rims. (thanks to 'Varno')
Cranks/pedals: Sram S100 1.1/sram chain. Origin8 track pro light pedals with genetic cages and straps. 48/18 ratio
headset/stem: BBB, 100mm stem.
Bars: Pro Vibe 7S track bars with Pro tape.
seatpost/saddle: Alpina/ fizik knock off
Brake: Miche deep drop/ Kore top cross lever

I'm pretty pleased with it as I had a Visp before this is a major step up for me.

I wear vans era's and use Origin8 pro track light pedals, nothing wacky i think i'll just have to change to some mks deeps and live with the silver

Hmm I have the genetic large double strap clips - seem to fit my size 11s fine... if anything a ferrets whisker too big...?

Dont get me wrong my feet fit in them, they just dont come yup as far up my foot as i would like. I find that the cage ends on the top of the ball of my foot, which leaves me feeling rather unsecure. I'd like something that extends onto the top flat bit of my foot ideally. If I have to slow down rapidily i always feel my left foot's about to pop out as its pulling up on the pedal. I had a go on my dad's bike the other day and his el cheapo plastic straps come right up to the middle of the laces on my shoes which i found to be a far more secure fitting

I'm undibsing on this i cant afford it atm

dibs on the brake pm'd

BLB large?

By the looks of it blb ones are eactly the same as genetic ones...

An okay BSA frame needs abit of a clean up however it dosent look to hard to achieve a nice looking bike okay lugs.

I like the way its advertised as having the "original Lugs!!"

PM'd about the frame, and that stem is ITM, it says it in the triangle above Italy.

@ philxthomas - As in these?

@ vélo libre - Surely they'll just crack and flake as they flex and clip the ground? I Could see if someone will powder coat them though....

I've got to say nice job ed, that looks cracking, I'm seriously considering building something like this for myself. If I did thats exactly how I'd want it to look. My only problem is being 6'4", so frames tend to look rather ugly in my size, i might suffer a 23" just because it looks nicer

Hey,

I've got genetic's large double toe clips atm, and they're just too small for my size 12 hooves. I'm awear of the of the MKS deep ones, but they're not black (which I'd prefer) and they're not doubles. I could get plastic ones but they're to horrid to envisage on my bike. Has anyone had any experince of any deeper ones that they could recomend?

will you guys just shutter up

Ooo I dont know now, it is small, 54, but i'm kinda falling for it again as my pub bike but i really should sell it....depends on how much you want it....

I did something like this a while ago for the bookworm alleycat in Swansea. No exhibition, but Locked Cog and Leeds both picked up on it which i was rather chuffed with...
Good luck to you i say sir!
