No worries turpe - no offense taken.
The guys at ILD are bike-bonkers too (one of their guys actually runs the SFGFC blog at http://sfgfc.wordpress.com/). No money is changing hands on these projects, we're just covering costs to create something we're happy to put our name to. Their real input on this one is in the graphics; for the bike (not yet applied), some stickers, spoke cards and tees...
...anyhow, back to the porn as you say...
-
Thinking about it dogs' - seems like the sensible thing to do..!
-
Steady on turpe, its not quite finished yet...
...I understand your comments; I agree the bike is not that radical - it is really intended to mark the launch of some pink and white Tokyo-themed products in the UK (like those rude-bars, some cheeky t-shirts and a few other bits and bobs...)
-
I hear what you're saying MrSmith - I'm Bath-based and my last effort to get involved in the scene (the ill-fated Keirinfest) didn't exactly go according to plan...
...hopefuly those people who have dealt with me from the forum (Dogsball, Roberto, Roland, Joneant, etc.) have seen that I'm not doing this for mercenary reasons - I'm just a cycling nut trying to make a living doing what I love.
The last reason I'm doing this is to upset anyone, so no more posting, I'll just get my coat...
-
Fair do's - I overstepped the mark (just too excited about these levers..!)
I should have PM'd (normally do) - I don't appreciate a hard sell either...won't happen again, sorry.
-
Sorry guys - point taken...
-
left and right?
Have a look at the e-levers - they are designed to fit a 26.0 track bar and are much nicer than the diatech option.
-
Only if you happen to live in Bath..!
Otherwise, I can send out tomorrow by 1st class recorded...
-
(to DogsBalls)
Na - you got the last one...even though I ordered mine 3 months ago!
-
They said it couldn't happen, but it has!
The bootiful Paul Comp swag has arrived - grab it here.
-
Clearly, I am...
-
I think it was first introduced in the mid-late eighties (with 26.4 clamp), but still on sale in early nineties (with 26.0 clamp) - an appropriately authentic choice..!
-
Yep, I've got cheapo red/white/black ones for £7.50, white soyo's for £11.50 + nice pink or purple champs for £12.50.
£2.50 P&P for 1-2 pairs (recorded).
-
BETD Goldtec do a £15 135BCD chainring which is rock-solid - I'm going to pick some up soon...
-
hippy Just thought I'd mention the fact I've seen freshtripe ads twice in google mail now. Your sponsored links are working freshtripe.
Vodka is great.Blimey - at least something is!
...I knackered my website with Mac OS Leopard the other day :(
That'll teach me for being an early adopter...
-
Good point - I meant £15...sorry hippy!
The Bulletproof Cranks are 110BCD and BETD are currently selling off their DH chainrings here
-
I took some Autosol to a set of the 165mm Bulletproof cranks today and the dodgy lettering came straight off!
They look way better in plain, polished silver + you can pick up a quality Goldtec ring for these babies for £10...
-
New Yancopads top-tube protectors are finally here - improved over the last ones; now one-piece construction, with lock-loop, silicone grippy bit (to stop them slipping) and reflective tag.
Plain white and black leather-look pads in stock (as well as a plain grey one (fabric) if you're interested Jon) + a new mini pad.
Prices as follows:
Old 2-piece 18" YancoPads - £12
New 1-piece YancoPads- £15
New mini YancoPads - £10They'll be on the website by the end of the night...
-
Goldtec's in stock now - £15 off RRP for a pair (black and pewter only though I'm afraid...)
-
I'm out of NOS Crit's now, but plenty of NOS 1A / XA stems in various sizes, a few Alter's and some Cinelli bullhorns /pursuit bars [url=http://www.freshtripe.co.uk/Freshtripe/Bendy%20Bits.html]here[url].
-
Nice!
The pads will be £15 for full length + £10 for the shorties.
-
cheers peterd, paul from freshtripe is getting some white saddles as well ;)
White Turbos should be arriving just as soon as this pesky postal strike is over - I also have a lightly-used White Rolls if that's you thing...
-
I say yes (but then I maybe slightly biased...)
White pads on the way next week (after this pesky postal strike...)

Mmm, this is the kind of reaction that means we're not going to be doing many more custom builds...
We're just a small firm and have to buy a large proportion of the parts at retail (inc. respray and wheelbuild) - with an ornate build like this the costs soon mount up, as you can see in the breakdown here:
http://freshtripe.co.uk/Freshtripe/Images/Custom%20Build%20Scorcher.pdf
We're lucky if we make 10% on a project like this, so accusations of 'profiteering' are pretty painful - the reality is its just not worth us doing stuff like this for the cash, we just do it 'cos we enjoy it!
