^^^ that seat/post and stem look so out of place, like theyve been 'shopped in...

whats the reach on the weinmann brake?

40t sounds quite light, especially if your riding it freewhell, it kinda depends how much cyling you've done/how fit you are...

Most bikes will have a british 68 mm bb thread, but varying widths. You should be able to measure this with a ruler to the nearest mm. this is a good source of bb info (and all other worldy bike knowledge) http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gloss_bo-z.html#bottom

if you buy a standard road chainset, the chainline will most likely be straight(ish) if you use the placement for the middle ring. Not sure why chainsets had what bb they would match, pretty much all chainsets fit all bb's, unless you get some really old or obscure kit...

I'm sure your local bike shop will measure the bb, seat tube (usually 27.2, but can be different to the nearest .1mm)and steerer tube (if you dont have forks yet).

hope that helps a bit!

of course, its edyoucayshern.

sorry mum...

i'm a student, i dont have time to do things like tidy!

i'll have you know i've only ever graffiti'd on my own property or leech st! I'm no vandal!

My First Fixed™

Just finished my first build:

1980's Shorter frame (north london builder who supplied alf engers) I took all the braze-ons off just cos i wanted it to look nice and clean, and it was kinda fun... (dont hate me for it, if it was a nicer frame i wouldn't have) all 531 tubing.

Formula hubs on open sport, 36 back, 32 front. gatorskins.

narrow bars, kalloy stem, tange allez headset, acor lever, dia compe single pivot brake, charge plunger grips.

Campagnolo strada cranks, 52-17 ratio, cheap pedals, christophe cages + straps.

freshly sprayed at armourtex, RAL 3003.

still to get reynolds decals and shorter decals.

dont be too harsh, this is my first build and i wanted to get it up and running with available bits..

thanks for looking!

that is sexy.

I believe you missed a pedal? i know you can pull with cages, but isn't that a bit extreme? Unless you're on some extreme right-leg-only training regime?

Nice!, I've finally finished and ridden mine (posted here a few weeks back in prog) SB Team Track.

that is some serious angle on the brake lever, you must have long fingers!

But very nice, clean build...

no way! the guy in cycle surgery said it was sold secure gold! goddamit, i'll have to rethink my strategy...

sorry about the massive picture, first time trying...

aint nobody gon steal my bike..

yeah its pretty impossible unless you can see them for real.. i spent hours looking through the RAL chart and searching for bikes already painted that colour, ended up completely changing my mind on the day!

also, armourtex will not do chrome polishing of large area, he'll do a seapost or lugs, but not a whole fork unfortunately :(

they say on the website they can do chrome polishing, which is what i meant... also there was meant to be a comma between frame and lacquer.
I'm guessing the paint and lacquer will be ~£70, but i have no idea on a full chrome fork polish...

anyone know a vague price on frame lacquer and chromed forks?
