Wow, it was a very bad idea to start playing that before going to bed.

Wonder how long it's going to be before stations stop popping into my head and I feel the need to compulsively put them in.

Wow - great pic.

Decent. Right amount of heat/numbing and nicer than usual noodles.

Gah why does everything on Discogs seem to be 40 quid these days

I'm using hydro brakes which are less fussy about the hoses being straight - running it under the top tube.
The gear cable is fine too, it's just the inner, which goes in between the middle and side bit of the shotgun seat.

Will depend on your setup a bit. Anything that needs to go down the middle of the top of the top tube won't work, and full outer cables probably won't either.

Alloy disc wheelset for £100 for those still picking the bones (managed to resist until now)

Imagine supporting happily giving up your own human rights in order to sToP tHe bOatS.
I think people feel so cosy in their position that it's never occurred to them they might need them one day.

Depends on the bb width and the rear hub chainline, but usually the inside ring on road cranks has a chainline close enough to standard track chainline to not be a problem (41mm vs 42mm IIRC).

You'd just need narrower chainring bolts and a chainring/chain width the same or bigger than what's on the back.

7400 is a really nice crankset, would be completely fine for a commuter/beater.

I think the sweet spot is long top tube, long flipped stem, seat as far forwards as possible, with swept bars (eg One One Mollymawk) and Spirgrips or similar for them to hold.

Basically make them sit as far forward and as tukt as possible without them hitting their legs on the bars. While you are as upright and sitting as far back as possible.
Also keep their feet nowhere near the front wheel obvs.

(Need to trim mudguard stays)

Failed to sell yday at £255 so starting bid may well take it

DMing re wheels

Pretty cool beater R&M folder/minivelo, currently £50 in Bristol, will probably go for more.

Assume they started working on it a year or two ago when the outlook might have been different, and by the time they knew they were in trouble it wasn't worth writing off all that work vs getting it over the line.

Ironically there's never been a greater need for the 'sort by discount' filter.

I've got an old 24" front wheel off a shopper you can have for free - is probably about 50 years old and is a bit rusty but the hub spins forever.

It's such a crazy state of affairs... squeeze out/shut down the LBSs and smaller retailers by selling stuff at prices they can't compete with -> lose tens of millions of pounds -> go into administration.

Obviously that's a simplification and there are other factors at play, but it's such a sad indictment of this type of business model.

Such a nice looking bike, glws

Amazing

I'll take the Spyres please if not taken already- PMed.
