Received the cranks today, thanks man! Have a bump.

did you have the original fork ?

Wish I had, but no. As nutsjesmoar said, it was build up as a complete disaster.

I guess I could have had a similar fork custom made by Orlowski or some bike craftsman in Finland, but that would have meant custom handlebars as well, since I haven't seen bullhorns like that anywhere.

A build with a Tachyon style fork with standard bullhorns wouldn't cut it for me:

My Rossin EL-Performance pursuit track monsta:

I decided on a semi-classic build, so no risers or deep H+Sons on this one. I even managed to get the super-rare 3TTT 51.151 bullhorns for it (cheers, miglos from yksivaihde.net):

Oh, and thanks to Harry.Major for the Phils + CXP14s and to Pistoffski for the Flite.

Some stuff, I'm missing.

• Phil Wood bottom bracket cups with French thread
  
• Phil Wood bottom bracket installation tools
  Commercially sold in pairs, but a single tool would also suit me fine
  
• ** 28h hub** BOUGHT
  
  

I live in Finland, so postage will also be needed, cheers.

2nd dibs on the SÄG straps

2nd dibs on the Phil bb. PM coming

Dibs seatpost. PM coming.

Yeah, I sent an e-mail to BLB a few hours ago. There's also a local shop here in Turku Finland, which imports H+Son goodies. Hopefully they might know what's the deal yo. Would be easier (and probably faster) if some web shop had the rim in stock, but none of them seem to.

edit: BLB had one. So that makes my 1st World problem solved.

I've been scouring the net for a 28 hole TB14, but haven't got any luck finding one reasonably. H+Son's online shop sells those, but 50$ shipping and over 22% import tax is an effective deterrent.

So, 28 spoke hole TB14s exist, but no-one seem to stock them. Any ideas where I might get one?

You know... If you have your saddle in such an angle it tends to mean that you should lower the saddle height, not raise it. Also puts more pressure on your arms, when you have to push against sliding forward from the seat. Plus it looks sad.

Yes, there's differences between bottom bracket diameters, e.g. an Italian bottom bracket is larger in diameter than a BSA/British one.

You probably have the wrong bottom bracket for frame. Check which BB the frame has (BSA or Italian probably) and get a corresponding bottom bracket for it.

Hi knyazb,
thanks for the offer, but It's a bit too short for my needs. Nice stem, though.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm not really into the Status's design. Besides, On-One is selling those stems dirt cheap (4.99£). I guess selling your stem for less than a fiver isn't really worth the hassle on your part.

Just a matter of preference. I've used the Charge Slice bullhorn on a day-to-day basis on my beater for more than a year. Suits me fine.

There are differences where the inside bearing surfaces are on the spindle, which might cause problems when mixing parts. I had a problem with a Gipiemme spindle used on a Campag Athena BB: the cups had to be tightened so far, that there weren't any threads left for the lockring. I had the same problem when using a British BB Campag Athena spindle on Italian Athena cups, so I guess it does matter whether the spindle was designed for an Italian BB or a British BB.

Still, using a DA spindle with Gipiemme cups for a working BB is a shot in the dark. Could work, but I need to be sure of the compatibility, since the DA spindle has a pretty steep price tag. Thanks for the heads up, though.

Undibs the Flite.

Dibs on the GB frame for a friend. PM coming.

Dibs on the Flite.

Ciao,

I'm in need of a couple of things for my current projects. I live in FInland so posting will be necessasary (at my expense of course). Contact via PM, cheers.

Selle Italia Flite saddle:
The classic 1990 shape. Preferably in white color, although black is fine too. Not too worn and scuffed, please.

Bottom bracket spindle/axle:
I'm missing the spindle from my Gipiemme Special Pista loose bearing BB. The spindle should be 107-109mm wide, designed for an Italian BB (70mm) and have JIS tapers.

My priority is not finding the original spindle, since it would not fit my cranks properly, but will consider buying one if available.

Dudes, read the original post. I did not build it like that, because I'm not retarded nor such a clever troller.

Yeah, the wheelsize for the frame is supposed to be 622/571 (or 700c/650c). The original fork is long gone, but I've managed to get a NOS Benotto 571 track fork for it, which is pretty sweet.

The original build should have been something like this, with that Tachion style fork and bars:

The shop is in Turku, Finland, but I guess they've been shamed and facepalmed enough on the Finnish FGSS-forum, so no names here.

I was in need of a new project a couple of months ago and hankering for a pursuit type lo-pro frame. Well, an LBS had a Rossin pursuit for sale as a complete bike, with an absolutely and indescribable hideous setup (700c hybrid fork with a cantibrake, cheapo cranks and SS-converted road wheels). After the sad thing had been gathering dust on the shop window for a while I decided to rescue it. Here's the "original" condition I bought it in:

The frame itself is really nice with pearl white colour. Columbus EL-OS tubes with smooth fillet-brazed joints. I've got all the parts for it except a vintage bullhorn already. Too bad about winter and everything, wish I could ride it already.

Hi again. What's the length of the Cinelli stem? Thanks.

How long is the stem? Thanks.

Will PM you shortly about the BB.

PM you in a sec about the rear wheel.
