Dibbed and PM'd regarding the Woodrup. (Fingers crossed!!)

Yet another set of Tweed Run photos on flickr, I was shoving my camera right in the face of a few of you, so there are some nice portraits in there:

I'd also like to add my thanks to Teddy and everyone else who made it an exceptionally pleasant day out. Oh, and to Velocio for picking my winning entry in the tickets comp!

Nice.

Any pics?

Could I have a pair of orange ones please?

I'll thank you with cash.

I get the scalp version, and use T-Gel shampoo on it a couple of times a week. Clears it up completely, not even a flake! That's coal or tar based as well, which seems to be a theme of success in this thread.

Good luck with it.

I'll take the brake without the cable and housing, 14 quid.

Well I paid 32 for it, so an offer close to that will probably do.

Due to fickle nature and a certain degree of impulsiveness I have the above for sale, or to swap for a black version, or black bullhorns. It was placed in the stem, and then taken out again so is unsullied.

Big thanks to everyone who organised this, it went amzingly well, even the weather was perfect!

My favourite quote of the day was from an old taxi driver who asked me what it was all about, and when I told him he replied "well I've seen everything now!". Class.

Also great to meet some forumungers for the first time, I don't know if it was the tweed effect, but what a fine bunch of chaps and fillies you are!

(I was the one with the tweed disc wheel)

When's the next one?

By finding my Donegal tweed cap, I have also found the confidence to join this merry band of chaps and chapettes. Now where are those blasted breeches?

Mike [Trampsparadise]'s doppelganger this morning going east along Victoria Embankment on a navy Plug with yellow front rim. Or was it Mike? Hmm. No. Spooky.

I have no idea who this Mike is, but that was I, not he, this morning. Were you on a rather nice red frame?

Classic Japanese motorbikes. He's currently restore one in his garage.

But he does like my H+ rims.

So I guess I missed out then by going out and getting pissed?! Bollocks.

At least I was getting drunk with James May off the telly (shameless name drop).

I'lll still take the frame if anything changes............

Could I get second dibs on the frame please?

Cheers for the help guys, think I'll give the Sheldon frame fixing method a go once my elbow has recovered from a mild surfing accident.

I was using a combination of the brake hole, some tape and a good eye. Then I slap it on my bike and pray to pretty much all the gods (except Zeus, he never gets back to me).

Tommy, is that a steel ruler you've used?

I thought that, but as long as the spokes are tight and not at the end of the threads, any difference in strength should be negligible, shouldn't it?

Your pic reminds me of DJ Scotch Egg, are you related, or do you just share the same gameboy fetish?

I have already built a couple of wheels using my track frame and a keen eye to sort out the dishing, with great success.

Now I'm building a new set to go on a Raleigh road frame, so I though I'd just use that rather than take my wheels off the track frame. Got the rim sitting nice and true in the frame at the rear, took it off, flipped it round, put it back in and it was about 5-10 mil off to the left. So I'm guessing that this means my frame (which has been used for fixed before, having been purchased off a relible member of this forum) is slightly curved.

The question is, should I dish the wheel so the rim is central to the hub, or would it be better to dish it so that the rim is central to the frame? I realise theat if I do the latter, then I won't be able to flip it, but then I don't intend to.

Your wise and learned input would be much appreciated.

I'll take the handlebars and stem if they're still going please. Thankyou.

Nice. I'll be wearing a pink carnation.

Dibs on the Campag please.

Work in Soho, don't cha know, so could pick it up upon a lunchtime?

Is this still available? Dibs if it is.

Strange, I've sent two emails to the exact address given above. I was going to suggest meeting on Saturday as my evenings are somewhat bloated this week.

I'll do it through here then.

When/where/how can I see it/pick it up/do the deal/handover/exchange and all that jazz?

Rideordie, did the emailing you directly thing work? Never know with these computational devices.

Just thought I'd crash in on this thread.

Rideordie, is it 57" or not? I'm also looking for a first project frame, and ultimately have a Raleigh in mind. Could I also ask what the rear hub spacing is?
