Bought it here a like month ago but just too small for me to get what I wanted to get out of it. Was still fun to ride and very versatile so had good time LEGO-ing with it and doing silly builds.

Original listing:
https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/351621/#comment15437269

Selling frame, OG fork, headset, Thomson seatpost, clamp and topcap. Can include the chain and a spare square taper or GXP bb that I have lying around.
Asking for £SOLD. Happy to trade for a larger one, price-matched.

I'm keeping most of the other stuff from the build in the other thread for a future project, but PM me if you fancy anything from it.

In London (Lambeth/Southwark), not posting but could ride around a few zones.

Hi people

Donated my roadbike to my brother back home after he had a kid, so it's been some time since I've lived off borrowing someone's bike when I'm back home (not too often these days tbh...)

So looking to purchase one that I can ship back, have it sit in a comfy garage and being used 24/7 when I'm home like 3 times a year.

Can be anything from vintage mtb, classic steel road, modern gravel or tourer, as long as:

It fits me
(I can make frame sizes 56-60 work, I'm 6ft with long limbs, ride a 60cm pre-cursa normally)

It fits my budget
(£350 tops)

I fancy it
(not a big fan of complete off-the-shelf stuff, that's it)

Can collect in London or around it if it's not a hassle to take a train there. Could consider paying postage if you can be bothered.

PM me offers, thank you all!

apologies missed that from the description, all thomson stuff are black

pics

I used the sunlight which I think is more subtle, and only 1 can, it's not that sparkling tbh.

I guess with 2 cans, and using the flake it can be beautifully glittery!

hm I'm definitely thinking of disc breaks now for CX to be honest.

Need to find a for that's not tapered, not through-axle, clears 32-35mm but not too spacey, so probably a gravel fork. And then build a tubular wheels for front disc!

Managed to get a handlebar bag, trying to fish a frame bag too and maybe a seatpost bag, as I quite enjoy the day tours I do now but feel a bit limited with slick tyres and lack of carrier space...

Realised my pics disappeared from the original post here :(

Will fix it sometime

Here's how it's been ridden lately, having a blast with it!

Also, I'm very surprised how durable the finish feels, not a single chip yet.

Kind of thinking getting a CX fork and turn it into a tracklocross thing...

damn I miss this bike, hope it gets built up soon!

looking to buy some nice red velvet cupcakes

anyone knows a decent bakery/patisserie around the E&C/Southbank/Bloomsbury/KingsX axis that's open for takeaway?

Too much hoarding, failed builds, starving kids and demanding ex-wives force me to part with some goods.

Unlikely trade, but if someone wants to change their stem angle to a smaller one, I'm looking to trade my 10 deg Thomson X2 for a 17 deg one.

Black and 110mm, no other options.

Can do in London

Hm right that might be the thing! I did not receive a dustcap for the Hope BB, so thought the Sram's will do!

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hope-Bottom-Bracket-Bearing-Outer-Seal-Ring-BBSP104-24mm-BB-Axle-Spares-24-mm/323794313049?epid=2179286155&hash=item4b63a51f59:g:R0gAAOSwgfRcSwlH

This should solve it, right? Doesn't look like a big investment.

Posting it here too, my re-painted Pre-Cursa:

Such a fun bike!

Had a few nice rides yesterday through the day, took some better pics of the bike:

It's been 2 years since my last Dolan, forgot how amazing these frames feel. Only things I'll change is the top spacer on the fork for a narrower one, and the bottom bracket. Don't think I'll bother with the zipp stickers on the wheel lol, not even sure they'd fit.

hm thanks for the recommendations! I can't put the adaptor outside as the dust cap is shaped like the spindles, so the circular adapter won't go through it and the crank axle will be loose on the NDS... I've heard some decent thoughts about the Praxis bottom brackets, so might give them a try!

Proper built up today!

Handles veeery differently than the volume, also will dig out my zipp drops to put on it. Then I can take proper pics!

One issue I ran into was making the Hope BB compatible with the omnium... which I actually failed to do, so now I have the old rugged Sram BB in.

I got a 24-22mm adapter so the axle fits nicely in the NDS bearing. However, I couldn't tighten the NDS arm on well enough to avoid any lateral movement. I'll put 2 bad pictures up to show the difference between the axle that shows outside the cup.

With Sram's GXP BB:

With the Hope BB and adapter:

See the green grease-spots that's visible when it's the Hope cup on, but not when installed in the Sram GXP
(I have the dustcap which fits on the spindles tightly, just not put on for the pics.)

Now, I have some spacers for the BB and I'm aware using that could eliminate any lateral movement. However, this would make it work so I practically tighten the entire crankset together, meaning the driveside will rub against the bearing as well. I'd rather make it work as Sram originally intended GXP to work - only tighten the NDS bearing from 2 sides, and let the DS float. But it seems I'm either missing a spacer or Hope's bearing is narrower than Sram's?

Anyone got any tips to make the Hope BB work with omnomnoms?

volume cutter, v3 I think!

Default rusty finish from factory, plus some added surface rust.

ordered one from ebay 2 weeks ago but still not here, and need it to finish a build...

testing if anyone in central-ish London has a spare one?

still waiting for the 24-22mm shim to fit my omnoms into a hope bb :(

But today I stripped and cleaned my volume as well as the parts that go on the sprayed dolan! Plus fitted the tubulars on without glue for the night so I'll have an easier time gluing them tomorrow.

Realised how much I liked the very very rusty and ratty appearance of the volume cutter:

But my new bike will be just as bomb!!

Will probably leave the wheels un-stickered for a cleaner look. Excited to see it all built up! Especially with some zipp drops...

price drop to £50
