How to ruin a entire bike with a single brake lever: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OMNIUM-KINESIS-TRACK-BIKE-FIXIE-CUSTOM-BUILT-59CM-BLACK-/350373717931?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Bikes_GL&hash=item5193e6a7ab

what rear hub? this thread makes no sense. I blame hippy.

Damn the first post has wondered off for some reason. Its a campag one, take a old style threaded cassette no QR skewer though. You can see a picture here, http://www.flickr.com/photos/jackdixdavies/4289218718/in/set-72157623120255553/

Just a quick bump to say that that rear hub has dropped to £10 if anyones interested

Where are these jobs located?

Just got mine, they're cracking wheels kids, well worth it

Why on earth have you painted your name on it..?

Does rather effect the resale, unless cow is a common surname...

There are some people on the planet (believe it or not) who are cool and simply have a spare bike that they would not mind lending and if it got stolen so be it. Just so you know i was planning on stealing it.

These people are called millionaires, they have castles full of other loot too you might want to see what else you can nab off them. Also I wasn't 'trying to be funny' I was trying to be helpful, so fuck you enjoy walking everywhere for three weeks...

also Crucifixi you get a** high five**

And......the problem is? Your comments a tad un cool (albeit funny)....most places in the world the fixed gear community is global and riders help fellow fixie rider from out of town.. Good luck with your bad attitude dude. an attitude like yours won't get you far in life

I dont think Crucifixi is being rude he's just displaying a understanderable level of caution. You are new to the community and you want to borrow someones bike for 3 weeks, you've offered no remuneration for this and you've got nothing to prove your intentions. Whilst i'm not by any means suggesting you are, you could easily be a theif who came up the the idea of exploiting a communties good will to your own advantage. If a guy came up to you and a group of your friends in a pub and asked if he could borrow your car for a bit would you lend it too him?
No sensable person would becuase you have no idea who they are, If you were well known to people on the forum and had many friends here it would be a different matter. I would suggest that you go out and make some connections with people in the real world, earn they're trust and maybe you'll have better luck.

A photo would probably help...

Hey,

I'm after a carbon aero seatpost, it needs to be quite short really. Ideally the non-inserting aero part would be something like 100mm as i only use 115-120mm of seat post normally.
oh it needs to be 27.2 also
can anyone help?

yups its pretty shiney, just got me some

Looks dammmmn sharp sion, how comfy is it though?

Here are some photos;

Sorry i did meant to put a price up I just forgot, thats sorted now. i'll be home by 6 so i'll pop some snaps up then

I'm in work atm so I can't put photos up but its the same as the 1981 version picturedhere. Its the same 'Ice Blue Metallic' colour, 56cm c-t seat tube and 56cm c-c top tube.

There are some small dings and the paint not amazing, also the gear hanger is slightly bent I tried to straighten it as best as I could but its not amazing so I wouldn't recommend using it with gears.
Its 531 forks and front triangle is 531 the dropouts are stamped but I can't make it out.
SOLD to supersonik-zlad

I'll put some photos up when I get home

Right I spoke to Armoutex who said they'll do it for £50 in black, it'll take them about 2 weeks, one week to actually do with another week of cureing.
Atlantic Boulevard on the other hand said they'll do it for £45 but it'll only take a week, when i asked him about cureing he said they'd be dry in 24 hours.
As a punt i also tried argos in brisol, they said it would be £85 and i'd have to wait a month before they could do them...so fuck that

Judging by the vast quantity of good work armoutex have done i'll go for them.

apparently they sand off the old laquer and decals, then use the previous finished surface as a base to work off.

this isn't one of the most attractive bikes,

Lies

...thats not the worst part - did you get a look at the "NJS stamp"?
I wonder how many keirin racers are out there winning trophy after trophy on these bad boys?

Loads i mean as well all know the world champs are always held in Edinburgh and let us not forget that "This chainset actually rode the track at Medowbank, Edinburgh."

I mean we should be glad he's not making us pay for that kind of pedigree. it ACTUALLY rode there! WOW! I've got some stuff to sell in fact, if i put in in a bag and ride it round the newport track can i charge more?

they do wet spraying too, or so they're website says. as long as they use the right paint (from what i can gather you need to use the right paint other wise it can effect the carbon's strength). I'll email armourtex and see what they say..

SUPER RARE! "Vintage Pantographed Peugeot Chainset SR NJS"

"Its 170mm cranks and 50 teeth are solid enough to be endorsed for track riding by the NJS. I wont explain what this means. To those that know, youve stumbled on a rare chainset so you know what your buying!"

I'm half tempted to send a message and tell him. i mean you can even see the marks from the old chain bolts that held on the other ring...

BUMP

I've got some carbon forks that need doing.

Anyone used armourtex for this? I read that Atlantic Boulevard did good stuff but its in the back of beyond.

I'm pretty sure ty still has this

Black 36 spoke Shimano Dura-Ace front hub
nice large flanges (no quick release skewer)
Some Spoke wear and other small nicks (see photos).Sold to Dr. Fast

Silver 32 Spoke Campagnolo Rear Threaded hub
(no quick release skewer)
Some Spoke wear and other small nicks (see photos). £15

Silver 36 Spoke Campagnolo Record front hub
bolted axle with large flanges
Some minimal Spoke wear and other small nicks (see photos). SOLD to Peter V

They've been greased recently. I couldn't tell you how much use they've had as I was given them by my friend, but they still seem very smooth spinning. He's owns a bike shop so he tends to take very good care of his stuff. Feel free to ask questions or for more photos.
I also will be putting up some Shimano 500/600 mechs/shifters and some campag mechs soon if anyone is interested.

Are the hubs flip flop or double fixed? also were you selling the dp-18's on ebay a while ago?

How long is the steer on those forks please?

unless you've hidden your stash of nazi gold in that frame your not getting that much
