Hey guys, I don't particularly want to have to split it as I know how these things end up - with half the parts left over...

I'll try and get some close up photos done in the next few days (probably wednesday) as I'm at work all day/night today and I won't be home tomorrow. Just out of curiousity, as I've never had to do so, is this the height from the floor to the top of the seat? Or from the top of the pedal from its lowest position to the top of the seat? I'll probably do both anyway...

Here we have my 2010 Charge plug (Large) that I'm finally selling now I have my new bike all set up. It's a great "introductory fixie" and I've spent plenty of cash on it upgrading and maintaining it (almost HHBS worthy with the colour scheme)

Spec:
Charge Frame - chrome
Charge Forks - black
Tektro Front brake calipers
Salt brake & Odyssey cable
Sugino Messenger cranks
Blackburn mono veloce 41T chainring
Halo 14t sprocket
Generic metal pedals & cages
Charge Straw bars & matching Charge locking grips
Richie Stem & carbon spacers
Velocity front & nearly new Halo twinrails
Velocity Deep V rear & Brev M Slittata
Charge Spoon seat & post

Bad points:
Could do with a service/potentially new bearings for BB
The odd dink/few scuffs in the usual places
Rear wheel is missing a spoke (but is perfectly ridable)
Both wheels not the truest, slight egg in the rear
Brakes could do with new pads
Rear tyre has a few bald spots/maybe needs replacing?
Toe cages pretty rusty, but still function fine

Its been a solid little courier, getting me to east london from south west and ive only ever had punctures to deal with. It's also worth mentioning that the chap I bought it off of had welded the seatpost to the frame in an attempt to not have the seat stolen etc. It hasn't affected the bike (apart from the obvious), and even someone with little legs like me, I've found it to be the right height (I wear 30" or 32" length jeans).

So, how would £150 sound? Currently living in East London (E3), but could always arrange to meet wherever. Only reason I'm selling is because I can't ride two bikes

Normally, the only thing I hear is the rolling sound of my tyres... But yeh, I'm not a fan of creaking noises and usually check things out straight away. I was in a rush getting to work, and in fact leaving (plus it was full of traffic both ways), so I couldn't really hear anything or notice anything out of the ordinary. I shall definitely grease, if not loctite my bolts next time.

Considering getting a second hand Campy Chorus 53/39 going cheap, not no idea about chainline/how well it'll fit on the BB etc

I've got a 103BB which just about pokes out the end of the frame enough to attach the crankarms. The spiders have shoulders on both sides (which I think you can see in the picture - the one opposite the crank arm kinda shows it)

I'm guessing that the bolts just worked themselves loose over time - there's a stretch of cobbled stone road that I have to cycle through in Barbican every time I go to work. I've been running this setup since December and I cycle every day, so would have expected this to happen sooner if I'd done something majorly wrong, I'd have thought

I guess I didn't give prior thought to the forces/moments with having it on the inside to get a better chainline... but still confusing as to why it was designed to look like it's able to be fitted on both sides

That bright spark would be me, sir ;)

Yeh, sounds like chainring on the inside is NOT the way forward... Guess the next one I'll get I'll have to make doubley sure that the bolts are supertight then.

My chainline was perfect to the nearest 0.5mm pretty much, thats why the chainring was on the inside... not sure why they put the notches in on the crank chainring arms on the back then, if you can't fit anything on there. Ah well, lesson learnt I guess...

Yeh campy or miche or anyone decent really... tho I thought miche mainly do JIS?

Yeh, they're zeros... probably won't get FSA again :

Want something italian to match the taper on the BB properly - recommendations?

I was actually just setting off from traffic lights...

Its missing 2 of the bolts, so I'm guessing they failed and flew off, but has also bent the chainring arms on the crank too :

Not sure on its size, its a Surly stainless steel... think its 51T... well, was...

Due to the death of my previous crankset/chainring, I am now in need of a replacement.

Needs to fit square crank on BB (Campagnolo Centaur), and preferably black

So, cycling back past Liverpool St tonight and this happens...

Not quite sure what's to blame here - chainring bolts or the chainring itself? Can I go to the manufacturer with this picture and ask for a replacement etc?

Another update...

Everything that can be put on has been put on, just awaiting the stem in the post... Don't ever buy from amazon - they sent me not only the wrong length but the wrong clamp size too. Then they "lost" the replacement in transit, and now they're out of stock.

So, I bought this sexy little number about 2 weeks back, took it out the pack and found out it was too small to fit on my new nittos... There was me thinking 26mm was a small diameter, but I guess these are designed for smaller? It was a bit of a punt, as there were no diameter sizes advertised anywhere on any websites that I could find...

Anyway, its the BX-4 special signature edition series thing and heres a link for some specs:

Its so light and smooth and would look awesome on anyones bike, just wish it fit mine...

OFFERS or TRADE for something black/carbony that'll fit my 26.0 bars :)

corima.

yuhuh :)

Just fitted my new campy BB and in the process of sticking some FSA cranks on... just waiting for the brake & leaver and stem to arrive in the post, then the real building shall commence

Hey all,

So I've been building this guy from the frame up. Been using my (typical) charge plug for the past 2 years, and fancied treating myself to something new...

Current commuter, now minus the bike lock holder...

And this is how my Dolan is looking at the moment...

:)

where/how do people even find these old threads...?

Bump for the jackson, because I had one and theyre awesome!

Cheers for the jacket man

Bump for a top fella :)

This sure is a blast from the past - what a sweet gig

I would have got back to you if I knew anyone who's in need of a new front wheel... but alas I don't.

Enjoy Revilo :)

dibs the stem :) PM on its way

Dibs on the rear... (the wheel, that is)
