Looks OK?

Hi, thank you. Bike will be drop bars. Vintage wheel good as have same (silver) 32 spoke front. Not sure on axle but I can re-arrange/buy new so as you say short for starters.

That would be good please. Thanks

Thinking of converting a Koga Miyata. Would need the following:

Preferably shiny silver, but if all black so be it

Rear wheel (or set maybe), will be spacing out to 130 so no 110 stuff.
Cranks and BB open to size of chainring but need to get to around 70 inches
Brake levers, yes two, internal cables.
Maybe sprocket/lock ring and chain... but not adverse to buying new
I am in North Devon but have mate in Weybridge near Heathrow
Not rushed, open to thoughts

68mm but yes, seems crank specific. Thank you

Hi, going to convert a Koga Miyats Flyer to fixed. 130 rear, old school road drop outs so fine for adjusting. My question is what length square taper BB would folks reccomend? I know it's probably impossible but an educated guess would be appreciated as I have yet to buy cranks and BB. Thanks

Might consider selling this frame. 63cm Koga Miyata Flyer. Internal rear brake cable. 57cm top ctc. FM-1 and FM-2 tubing. It's in North Devon but you could arrange pickup. £170? It is immaculate as possible to be after build. Done 4 miles. Change of plans. Whole bike is on Potenza with RS11 wheels (needs shiny wheels IMHO) Shimano casssette 11-32. Maybe whole bike but don't want to ship as no box etc.
Fresh powder coat in Malbec, sort of translucent. Good headset.

Metal frame Decent tyre clearance but standard drop brakes.
60 preferred (or 24") but a big 58 will be ok
Pref racey. Ahead if possible but not a deal breaker. Alloy is fine.
Carbon fork or straight steel. Post (or I arrange).
Something like the Spez Smart Weld I missed or maybe a modern take on steel

I have an old Koga, two Jacksons and a Titainium Spa.
This is to re-frame a failed Carbon thing.

Would consider carbon Look, Time or Spez

Thank you

Damn just seen this

No agenda from me, nor an opinion but remembered this place when sharing elsewhere. Get a beer or 10.

Best wishes to all

Combe Martin. Where are you?

56cm IT IS IN NORTH DEVON

£200 price firm for now. Traveling North on business M5, M42, A42, M1, A1, A19 on Tues morning if it helps? Basic pedals supplied only

Got a Genesis Flyer. 56cm. All standard. Very, very tidy. It's in Devon though and don't have bike box. £200 min

I'm 6'2 and have 35.25 inside leg to floor. Look on Dolan website at Preffisio size chart. The 61 is perfect for me. I'm lost on a 56 and IMHO a 58 looks like I bought the wrong size. It's all down to the geometry of frame though, I know a man who rides 56 at the same height as me but his legs are shorter and arms longer so he has a very long stem slammed. Go and sit on bike is only answer but I recon unless his 56 has HUGE amount of seatpost showing it'll be too big. Bear in mind crank length too, big bikes tend to be 175mm. If he doesn't buy it share the bargain!

Just a heads up that may help people with cheaper bikes. My old Koga Miyata has a modern R2000 Claris 2x8 on it, I won it cheap and new. Always been clunky at the back. Just put a 10 speed Tiagra chain on, now it's perfect. Seems the new 8 speed cage in rear is narrower and the 8s chain was (just, very just) rubbing cage. Wonder if Shimano have specced the chain width down to 9s or something?

Spell check says Shimano should be Hiroshima :)

Cranks only suitable for 36/52, no rings. Thanks

BR would be my go-to place should I wish to append every post with a "wacky" quote used as a signature. Which I don't.

Oh that wacky English language

Or did you mean Merry Christmas?

Whole BR place is a bad experience.
There is a post on here somewhere about a bloke zig zagging past fat b***** pushing their carbon bikes up hill (he's on an 80 odd inch fixed). Made me laugh my socks off. Try that on BR. You'll get tons of replies about how offended they are. I fell foul recently. Made me run straight back here, made my Christmas donation too!
Am I right in thinking BR is sort of shop front, business orientated type thing? Its very, ahem, Middle England........
Merry Chrismas
