Really?

Clipon - no need to get personal, I just thought someone might be interested in the frame. Yes, it needs repairing and it has a dent, but I called that out, it's not as if I'm hiding anything.. It was my first post selling something, so don't get @rsy about etiquette or what is the right or wrong thing to do.

Hi All,

I have a Vintage Ken James Low Pro Frame with BB, Primax E headset and Suntour Radius gear levers. Frame is large around 60cm. I have just stripped this down as I noticed a hairline crack in the base of the weld that joins the top tube to the seat tube. It very faint and y LBS said it could stay that way for years or it could weaken further, but is repairable but I don't have the heart to tackle it, but someone else may. There is also a small dent in the down tube, by the J of James. Frame is Reynolds 531 Professional. I'm located in Windsor.

£150.

Hi, it's cotterless. The axle itself looked ok and not to worn, hence I think it maybe the bearings, although I purchased new ones. There seems to be play when you lift the crank, whcih would make me think its a gap between the bearing and axle.

Enough for a 3-4mm wobble. Maybe I'll strip it down again, clean and regrease. Could under tightening be the problem? Can you over tighten these old BB's?

Anyone?

Hi, This is my first post as a Virgin LFGSS member, so here goes. I have just finished converting an old raleigh flyer into a single speed. The bearings in the bottom brackret were pretty mashed, so i replaced them with 1/4", (I guessed the size!!). There still seems to be some play, should I have gone for the 5/16" instead? Does anybody know the correct size bearing for a Raleigh 26tpi BB??

Thanks
H.H.

Windsor Great Park early morning - get lost in it! The moment....not the park!

Finished building a single speed on Saturday, took it out for a 40 mile trek around Berkshire: Windsor - Taplow - Maidenhead - Bourne End - Marlow - Henley - Wargrave - Twyford - Paley Street - Windsor. Bike rode well, a few niggles here and there. Highlight was meeting a 77 yr old ex reading club cyclist on Drift Road, training for a time trial the following week. I hope I'm walking at 77!

Sorry, a Benotto Modelo 800.

Hi, I'm new to this site. I have one (actually a wheelset) I have just taken off a Benotto Modial 800, that I am converting to a single speed. If your still looking for a wheel, let me know.
