Had a great time on my first SE beers tonight. Nice meeting the forum peoples probably heading down there again next week :)

Lovely looking frames, where did you go to get powder coating for £20?

I recently bought a frame off sheathy and it came with the braze-on for a front mech. I want to remove this so I can put on my campag front mech (clamp) on. But it seems to be held by rivets and I know that rivets can be drilled out but I'm not sure whether it's safe to drill these out. The frame is 7005 aluminium triple butted. The pics can be viewed here.

In pub so will be brief.

The Albert has agree to give us decent discounts on food and possibly drink. Details to be agreed on Tuesday. By the sounds of it there will be big discounts on their snack platters, smaller discounts on burgers and 30 or 40p off beer. Levels of discount subject to agreement but the landlord has agreed in principle.

Discount on beers so tempting. But I've vowed not to drink until after my assessments and exams :(

I work at White Villa Signs and Blinds and we have a laser machine there. I'm not sure of prices and stuff but I'm pretty sure you could go tomorrow and have it done by friday. We rarely use the laser cutter. Best give my boss a visit or call first. Here is our website. We are based in New Cross, SE14. Right next to Millwall Stadium.

Added Disc wheelset with price drops.

Hi guys, just clearing out some stuff so I have space in my shed and underneath my stairs to create space and fund a new road bike. I have no idea on prices so I’ve either over priced or under priced some of these. Sorry in advance.

First up a Marin Sausalito frame with crankset, BB, rear V brake, headset cups, pedals, chain and front mech (Shimano 9-speed). Forks, saddle, seat post and clamp NOT INCLUDED. Seat tube is 57 C-T and top tube is 57/58 C-C. The problem with this frame is that my mate was riding this and then the derailleur hanger snapped and he’s moved onto fixed since so we didn’t bother repairing. Also the chain has been shortened so he could ride home as a single speed on that day. Apart from this, this has never crashed just needs some TLC. £30

Collection can be made in New Cross, SE14. PM me for my address and number when you want to collect. I'm usually home from 4:30pm so anytime pick up from then till night is fine and weekends I work in Elephant and Castle so I can bring small things there like cogs and bars. Anything sold I will donate 10% to the forum. Additional pics can be found here.

Thanks for looking, Jackie.

If this is still available by the end of the month I'm taking it :)

Btw will this be too small/big for me? I'm 167cm tall :)

You need no stick, just get a strip of thin denim (stretchfit would be best) and wrap from the bottom up, then just secure with a piece of tape at the top as you would with any bartape. Just make sure you wrap it very tight and tidy and you'll be fine.

+1. It's the easiest option.

How would I stop it unravelling at the end if I weren't to stick it down?

Oh, I usually wrap from bottom first that's why I don't have that problem. But you've got a point there lol.

I work in a place where you make shop signs and we also make awnings and canopies. The material we use to make canopies is quite tough but we found that normal double sided tape works well to fold up the ends so it looks good.

I'm pretty sure you could also use normal double sided tape in order to hold the denim to the bars.

Some bar tape isn't adhesive. But is a bugger when you rip it because it all falls apart but I think just make sure the denim is comfortable for your hands whilst riding :)

You'll need a intgrated headset something like this and for forks you loads of different choices most new forks have about 300mm steerer length but if you're buying a second hand fork i'd say you'll need a steerer length of at least 175mm? I'm not too sure but you'll defo need that integral headset with size of 45/45 and forks with size of 1 1/8"

48/17 - ratio of champions.

+2.

Lovely speed to pick up to, not so spinny down hills, up hill is fine and with 17 skid patches you take time to wear out your tyre :D

Lol how convenient, shredded my back tyre yesterday. I'll take one conti. PM coming up.

Jackie and XH. You're both single, you should go on a date!
