Would these be any different to wheels ordered from Yoleo or FarSports in your opinion?

Most of SuperStar wheelsets only seem to be 10speed compatible though or did I miss the 11?

Bit of both? :)

Flo30/60 or H+son SL42?

Looking at swapping my 2014 PTJ Small in blue against another color if anyone is interested!

Thanks everyone for your help!

@Heldring: True, this wasn’t done quite quickly and I might have used the wrong estimation there.

@dave4: Thanks for your opinion I’ll have a look at the thread

@noBlakes: I’m looking for a 50-52cm I think being 5”7 and my current 54 Caad8 is too big for me. The Caad10 in small sizes do seem rare on the Bay or Gumtree though which pushed me to try and see if I could find one new instead … I’ll have a look at the wheels thanks

@miro_o: The problem with buying full retail is that I don’t get to build my own bike which I think is a good experience and I also don’t get all the parts I want and have to change a lot of stuff straight after buying it which is not great. How much do you want for your black Antares? PM me

@Dammit: Are they easily available in the UK? Would you just buy the rim and get it built by someone? What about the Flo60? Too heavy?

@rive_gauche: Not a big fan of frame actually

Been thinking about building my second bike myself for the first time with the help of a friend and after some research I ended up with the two below potential builds:

What's your opinion? Is there anything I'm doing wrong/should change?

Still available and will go on the bay next week

Up

Hi everyone,

Have this brand new and with tags Castelli Entrata jersey size Small up for sale. Grabbed it in a sale and only looking at not losing money. Price is £40 without post, collection available in either Victoria or Tooting.

The item is of great quality but is just too small for me.

Do you think the tights would fit me if I'm 5"7 and 70kg? Thanks

Hey,

I'm 5"7 and 70kg do you think these would fit me?

Cheers Dan!

I will mostly use this bike for commuting and then riding it for fun at night or in the weekends. So it will in fact be riding on the street 95% of the time and probably in pretty bad weather as it is London.

Saddle-wise do you have any advice on how to choose it?

Hey guys!

I'm in the process of building my first bike and have come with a build for around £700 and wanted your opinion on the different parts. Don't hesitate to suggest other parts if you think some are shit or could be replaced by something better in the same price range.

Dolan Track Champion : Frame + fork + seatpost + headset
Miche primato advance 49t (Crankset)
Deda zero1 stem
Deda Pista Dropbar
Saddle : something around £50
Shimano Dura Ace Track Single Sprockets
Wheelset (Miche pistard) to be changed to H+Son archetype as an upgrade

Thanks for your help!

What do you guys think of this frame? http://www.kinokocycles.com/track-bikes/rush-track-frame-1.html

How much does it weigh?

1.8kg apparently

What do you guys think of this frame? http://www.kinokocycles.com/track-bikes/rush-track-frame-1.html

Then look outside Dolan. What exactly are you looking for in terms of geometry? What do you intend to do with the bike? i.e riding style, distance.
Also, budget?

Commuting and also night/weekend rides. Don't know yet about distance. In terms of geometry I'm looking for something quite simple. Had a look at that earlier on : http://wearefactoryfive.com/frames/f550.html

Budget-wise it would be around £600-700

Just aesthetic mainly and because this is the first bike I'm going to invest a good amount of money I'd like something that suits me

Ok so there is no way for me to know when buying my 54 that it's gonna be sloping/normal or the other way around that I don't like?

Also, is there an existing thread on here with the beginners questions on which frame to get in the UK when building your first bike?

Thanks!

What is it that makes the frame not horizontally parallel to the ground? Is it just the way the frame is built?

I was thinking of buying a Pre Cursa but don't like bikes where the front part is higher than the back.

Thanks, noob question here I know

Hey guys!

23, French, recently moved to London and been lurking here and on Reddit for a good while now. Looking to build my first fixed gear that I would use to go to work or just to go around the city with some people.

If anyone would like to give me a hand feel free to PM me :)
