Got some brand spanking new Planet X pro carbon forks in white, never fitted.
Full carbon forks and 1 1/8" steerer, 397 grams uncut, currently £100 on their site, looking for £65 (edited) paypal'd to your door (will be packaged carefully).

I'm a student, the chances of me ever being able to afford to do it is minimal, I will be looking for some 1 inch forks, don't you worry.

Thanks for the responses folks! The outer diameter is 36.5mm (measures with a caliper) so I reckon it is doable. I think perhaps a drill would be best but as you most of you say securing the frame would be expensive. I guess I may just have to bite the butting and find some 1 inch forks, until I can find a way of doing this effectively.

I've just got my hands on a LeMond Alpe D'Huez, 853 steel 57cm etc. There is currently a appears to be a 1" headset, but the butted walls where the cups fit are really quite thick whilst the main tube is considerably larger. I was wondering if it was at all possible to take out 3mm of the butting in order to accommodate a larger 1 1/8" headset. This may be a really stupid question, but my older Raleigh frame has a straight gauge head tube and I've never had any issues with flex etc. As to why I'd want to do this, simply I have a bunch of 1 1/8 carbon forks which I'd like to utilize, otherwise I'm looking at some Columbus minimal's which are 150+

Cheers,
Joe

mods please close im in the wrong section, thanks

3rd dibs :)

Duly noted, I will have a mooch. Cheers

Hey folks!

I've just picked up a rather lovely LeMond Alpe D'Huez 853 frame however it has some rather questionable carbon forks, bubbling a bit at the top I assume that the aluminium has corroded and expanded a bit hence the damage, so.... Do I go carbon with alu steerer again or carbon with an alloy steerer or just full carbon everything? budget is flexible as I paid so little for the frame.

Cheers

Ah there it is! Daylight does wonders, I may get back to you, cheers

Looking for a 58cm or 60cm specialized langster frame and forks preferably in black. Looking to spend 150 ish

Thanks

I've got hollowtech I'm running 2011 ultegra, and the crankset is 53/39 its actually pretty light

@Jwleggett I'm doing it!

@andyp I only weigh 11 stone so at 6.3 I'm a lanky git, but yeah wheels do seem to be the favored option, I'll look into it, thanks fellas :)

Hey folks,
I'm a little stuck I've got 62cm 531c steel frame, that weighs just over 10 kilos, and a little more with saddle bag, lights and a pump.
It feels a just a tad sluggish on the hills especially in comparison to my friends aluminium bike which I expected as its a 58 and is... well... aluminium.

I've got full Ultegra with the exception of the brakes which are athena, my wheels are 105 hubs with mavic cxp33 rims, chain is 10 speed kmc, with cut out plates, which is light. Seat post is alloy but cut down, that weighs under 200 and my saddle for the time being is a charge spoon which is about 250. Bars and stem are aluminium with a stem adapter adding an unwanted 200 grams.

I'm not a weight weenie and I normally couldn't care less about weight, but in this case I would like it to be at 10kg with lights pumps etc.

Where do I start?

Thanks

I know this is sold now but how much did it weigh roughly when it was built up?
