Oh right good call to turn around , sensible option!
We’re have mega amounts of rain at the moment, definitely a good case for getting sealed bearings so this reason as even some of the puddles submerge the pedals

Haha can relate to this! I went through a similar looking one at 6am a few years back and didn’t see it as it was dark. The water fully submerged a son dynamo and rohloff hub as well as the BB but all seemed to survive to my amazement.

Did you make it right the way through? How high was the water and how did the bike fare?

The steamroller is getting there, I took it out for a proper spin over the weekend. It’s so satisfying building a bike up from scratch.
The steamrollers are amazing bikes, so versatile both off road and on road. Great bikes!

A friend of mine has managed to keep a basket of fire chilli plant going for two years and it kept producing fruit all through the winter inside. It may pick up!

If people have well established mature plants they can be brought in and kept at 10c as other people have said. Also, pruned right back and then when the spring starts they will start to sprout again. It’s also possible to trim the routes in spring and plant in fresh compost but they do take a while to rejuvenate.

I found it worked well trying to keep the whole plant alive on a sunny window sill if that’s an option

EasyJet express boarding, this way people…

Ok great that sounds good, happy to wait a bit until you’ve found a box

How much for the forks posted please?

Amazing result, looks like that will be a great project! Great to find it as a complete bike, interesting looking chain tensioner and gear ratios with the front rings! Keep us posted on the progress 😀

@Crop amazing frames, PM sent re Condor and CB frames

Brilliant thank you that’s really helpful and much appreciated!

I’m trying to get things set up with Phil Wood hubs which also have an M5 or 6 bolt so should work well.

I have 28mm tyres and is definitely a squeeze, so will bare 25mm in mind for the future for sure.

Thanks again 🙏

Hi!

Just seen your post about fitting the mudguards to the steamroller, you’re not wrong about requiring patience. Not sure how much the local bike shop would have charged as taken about three days to fit the rear one and still the front stays to go! Just wondering what sort of clips you used on the front forks please? Grateful for any pointers, trying to fit Berthoud mudguards… thanks

Hi,

Trying to fit mudguards onto the Steamroller atm, have got some Berthoud mudguards although found they weren’t compatible with the p clips and they would require getting an addition sort of fitting to fix the stays to the p clips (from SJS). Just wondering whether anyone had put Berthouds on their Steamroller who may have some pointers please? Or if anyone has any pointers would also be grateful, although mindful that there seem not to be a standardised fixtures in the world of mudguards! Thanks

Hi sounds interesting, be great to see a photo

Is it salvageable in terms of the bb threads? Also, is your condor track frame still for sale?

Hello thank you people for sharing their accounts and experiences with reliable vintage steeds. Great to hear how will these bikes are coping with day in day usage. Hoping to get something built up to do the same!

Hello, no it is not drilled for a rear brake, not sure whether this may be an option that could be done by a frame builder or LBS

Hello mate oh right sounds interesting is it possible to see some photos or is it listed already somewhere?

Hello does anyone have a vintage pre 1950’s ish frame thy are looking to sell?
