I've lived in Norwich all my life.. Riding a white frame with crome forks and woodgrain deep-v's.

after sitting in an office all last year I just landed the perfect job where I get to ride about town all day on my pride and joy, delivering baguettes and getting paid for it!

@ hvadhir

bikes a beaut mate. one of the nicest i've seen. what colour/effect are those deep vs?
yea i would have filed down the frame before the spray. but otherwise perfect!

@ dale
conversions can me more comfortable than pistas cos of there relaxed geometry. Sometimes i wish i thaught of that before I'd bought my track frame (but then i tell myself that i'm too young to be buying bikes for comfort). but i agree that there are nicer road frames out there to convert.

i would have liked to file down the frame but i bought it how it is, the deep v's are limited edition woodgrain apparantly!

appreciating the love.

i don't understand, you spend £35 on a paul lever but have a conversion?!?

I don't see what's wrong with wanting the make the most out of a redundant frame.

Plus, nearly all those parts can be moved on to a track frame if I find one that takes my fancy enough.

My 1st slave, finally complete (apart from grips)

that looks like a cinelli bb shell, what's the frame?

yeah, the bb shell is cineli but i wish i new more about the frame. I'll put up some more detailed photos soon.

It's got "LP" on each shoulder of the forks. and "L.P PIRON" stamped on the chainstay. the guy i bought it off seems to think it's columbus tubing.

Wow, a mere 10 posts and straight in with a lovely slice of London Slave ;P

Nice.

Cheers, wouldnt have got this far without all the stuff i've read on this site though.

how much were the wheels in total with P&P included?

Can't remember exactly but i do remember the extra £50 charge i had to pay once they got to the parcelforce depot.

I got them here, loads of decent (i hope) wheelsets prety cheap.

not too sure what the hubs are, but they are exactly the same as some i got from st john street cyles for £40, just in white.

As for the wooden bars, maybe for some photos but i dont reall fancy wrapping my face around stem..

thanks, got he wheelset shipped over from america, you can't quite see from the photo but those deep v's are woodgrain..

Coming to the end of building my 1st fixed..

Got most of the bits i need but still looking for a decent front brake and minimal lever.

I'm also looking for a seatpost but not sure exactly what size i need, 28mm sound right?

thats what i was hoping..

you know anything about these? it's listed as an L.P Piron?

well i asked and he said he'd put a few coats on for me..

what do you think's up with the front end?

Hi, Just bought myself a new frame to start off my first fixed build, just wondering if anyone knows any history on these?

Thanks, Harley..

[quote=t.o.;152216]i have 3, one old and buggered, onefairly good on gold background and one fairly good on silver background. I bought a bunch of headbadges on ebay to get the one i actually wanted...

spent too much to get mine, but i don't think i'd actually be able to sell these so you can have one.

thanks, really appreciate it but think i'm good for a headbadge now..

i had looked about for a second had eno hub but there's none about.. the tensioner was just a quick fix in the end.. i know it's not really in line with this thread anymore but i've decided to go the whole hog and now looking for a whole different frameset to work with.. any recomendations? things to look out for when buying?

i've also recently been looking to make the move over to a single speed, decided just to go a few weeks without changing gears to see how i liked it. my legs feel much stronger already!

as i have verticle dropouts on my frame i couldn't just straight up remove the rear deralieur and some links from my chain as there would be no way of getting the chain nice and tight. so today got myself a nice spring loaded chain tensioner and got rid of all the clunky mech. only cost me £17.. hope it helps

well i still havnt actually seen it in the flesh yet. found it on ebay and seemed like an ideal project.
i think the wheels probably made me buy it!

on the listing it called it a 'freeway shopper' but cant find anything else with that name anywhere?
this is the bast i can do for the painted on headbadge!. i think it does say freeway but don't know anything about them..

Hi, first post!.

Just bought an old raleigh 20 as a project for the girlfriend and i'm thinking it's going to need a nice condition badge
to bring it all together.

If anyones got one lying around gathering dust??
