Thanks,

Miche Cog 17t never used - 1,1/8th £5.

Peckham / Camberwell or can post for £7.

Personally I'd go drops, good to have the option of getting the body low, if just for grip/cornering. If you're going to be spending a lot of time on bridal paths, and possible descending off road, I would highly recommend them.
I've heard really good things about the GravelKings but sadly it seems they only go to 28..

It's actually pretty cool that they have all that info on thier website, however I'm not sure how they managed to get the following into the copy without some one raising an eyebrow "high-precision assembly guarantee perfect rolling performance; every bit of the rider’s energy is transformed into forward momentum"

Right then, thanks @mdcc_tester

Sorry if this has been covered but does anyone know which hubs the "spline" dt hubs that come on the DT wheels are e.g. DT Swiss R 32 SPLINE, just that if they are DT 350s then buying factory wheels might get me what I want quicker cheaper like..

200's not a bad offer 230's not a bad price.. bring in the negotiator..

@shroom I'll take em for sure, will drop you a PM!

Yup!

@Shroom looking good, if you're looking the sell the 26.0 pista bars you were using at the beginning of the build, let me know!

@privatepatterson good stuff, will be good to see how this progresses!

I think Cole Coatings works with SeaBass and others as well, great stuff.. I can't justify new paint on my winter bike quite yet, but if there was a decent forum discount it would be very tempting...

for the baller triathlete..

I've got a set of oversize deda pista bars 40cm, and 11/8 stem 80mm, if you're interested PM me..

Subbed and "if" you do ever decide to sell the mercian let me know, tis a beaut... oh and when you do get yourself out west I will be coming for cake and hills!

nice delay unit.. is it part of a little portable rig?

I have a 17t Miche unused that you can have for a fiver, Peckham/Camberwell..

Did I see this on a club run last week?

This is awesome. Just awesome.

thanks man! I like how the white sections help pick out the lugs..

Picked up this frame from @DoktorPepe not too long ago, the plan is to race it at track league this year. Most of the parts currently used are left over from other builds, as I go I'll assess what's working and what improvements are needed. Already I need to swap out the back wheel, It's a bit of a dud and the back sprocket is stuck on the wheel, I've got a silver set of training wheels that I'll swap out for track but these black wheels were on a pre cursa that I sold and pinched the cranks from. Can't wait to get it down to Herne Hill..

Most frames built in reynolds 531 have a 27.2 seat tube although not all bikes with a 27.2 seat tube are reynolds 531 if that helps ;-)

As you say Rourke or not it's not a bad price for the frame, just worth keeping in mind that with a 116mm rear triangle it might be a stretch to cold set it to 130mm for a modern rear wheel. Although happy to be corrected on that if others think it's not an issue..

I've had frames with similar stays from London builders in the sixties and seventies, at least from a London perspective, frame builders would work for different shops so styles weren't, that unique. I don't know if the same applies to Rouke..

The Bob Jackson is lovely and a good price too, GLSW

huh, I thought rule of thumb with track was just got high, I hadn't considered actually challenging my preconception and asking that question out loud. I'm 6.1 80kg so is 24 still a good bet?
