Dibs Tempest :)

I was busy yesterday and didn’t make Crow before it closed. Next time!

Dropped by Radspannerei a couple hours ago and found the staff excellent - friendly and knowledgeable despite having to transact in Englische sprache due to my very basic German.

Thanks! Will def check out Crow - I follow their courier page on IG, didn’t know there was a shop also.

I’m not in the industry, but I used to be a courier in London and owned/rode an Omnium.

I'm currently in Berlin visiting some 'non-cycling friends'. Could someone please recommend some independent bike shops worth checking out?

I did try this but it was auto-signing @user67629 back in without the option to pick which gmail account I would like to use.

It seems to have fixed itself now. Thanks!

Removed - put a few more up but once viewed on a full size screen remembered why I needed to ask about the most cost effective way of getting hi-res scans :)

I shot my first couple of rolls of this summer when visiting a friend in Berlin. Agfa 1035 point n’ shoot.

I have since found a 1535 (because scale focus is fun but also not fun) for sensible £ and have also been donated a Canon AE-1 program.

What is the most cost effective way to get films developed/scanned? There is a place near me but it is £9 a pop for fairly low resolution scans. Get the film developed only and buy a scanner?

Dibs on the Berghaus jacket.

Bump with a couple of price drops, before going to the well known online auction site.

Found a sram 50t nw on eBay for cheap I need to fit still, probs swap crank out for 130 or direct mount later as think it will look a bit strange:

Bump - Have tidied the thread up a bit and dropped some prices.

Bump - £42 posted - SOLD

Bought these on here a few years ago and never used them - The rivets do not like my current calipers (Klamper/BR-M985) and no plans to change anytime soon.

£45 £42 posted.

Went with these ones as I already had the 36h hubs:

They seem OK but I’m still waiting on some small parts to arrive to finish building.

I’ll have the ballern rack please assuming it’s 31.6 clamp? also pm’d Q on the forks

I was hoping to ‘finish’ it this weekend but ran into some problems:

410mm Thomson still 1 cm off my saddle height at min. insertion.

Accidentally blew an o-ring for the banjo into the ether (aka. the carpet) with disc brake cleaner.

Will order some bits and try again next weekend.

🤣

Bump - price drops on ww + blunts

Teeny Houdini + Blunts

Bump - prices dropped.

Another minor annoyance with the braze ons - my foot is occasionally catching the rack mount (I have put a very narrow BB in it to get correct chain line though). Hopefully grub screw/blanking bolt will sort but fairly certain that’s going to be useless to me as an actual mount.

Brake caliper has been released from its old adapter so I can finish build and make it less of a death trap one evening next week.

S&M husky’s potentially at some point in future. Need to decide that I’ll never want drops on it first though - if I trim steerer to current position that’s a possibility but any lower then limited to high rise only.

First ride unfortunately half finished - rounded the torx bolts attaching front caliper to the adapter from my old cargo bike so have had to cycle to my mums to use her partners drill press. That means failure on finish this weekend so here’s an NDS:

Yeah I think so too but it’s what I had to hand but also a middle ring so definitely gonna need swapping. Need to get on Sheldon’s calculator.
