Hi is the front brake still available to split?

PM re crankset, bb and apex brakes

Are the carbon fork still available? Do you have pictures and would you post (mainland UK)? Thanks

Hi Ergolite, interested in the Karrimor mat and sleeping bag liner if still available and postable. PM on the way

Hi, this is not yet a running project but I bought this a while ago and only recently got it back to my house to start thinking about how to build it up - loads of ppl on here have pics of nice bjs and opinions on them.. thought I might tap in as I have built 1 bike up before with help from my lbs and it was a gaint fail. My current fixed is a bianchi bodged to something better which I like.

But with this, I'm after a light/day tourer that I can go weekend camping with (rack, guards, comfort etc). Not sure if I want a low fixed gear or actual gears. I love fixed but I have my day to day fixed bike for kicks already.
If I get round to drumming up the will and some fitness I plan to cycle to the Med next summer on it...hard but not averse to doing that fixed with a 60 inch gear and a free side.

A friend said a classic 5 speed build. sounded cool but a good quality indexed set up probably don't exist (?).
another mate said all modern or all classic. so was thinking 105 it up.

Now I'm thinking hub gears...

Also, will a quill stem fit over these new fangled ergo/comfy bend bars?

This could be a right laugh... no idea where that startrooper is though...

Cool, please do and details on prices etc when you've got a batch on the go.

I'm still interested.

so it is. I'm dumb for not noticing the splines! all taken with the grooves!
Yep I was on a 40x16(65) and found it a welcome change to 48x17(74). so after getting a 19 on that 48 now. spinny does seem the way to go recently. my knee agrees!
ta for the reply,

I have a 16t 3/32nds cog that came with my pista that I would like to swap for a 19t.
used for a month or so and not fussed about a brand new but will consider a straight buy if you have one.

could also do with a lockring that isn't made of cheese a la System Ex and Bianchi!

Following a tip from a request like mine, I had a look at planet X, seems like they have 1 sort of 3/32 19t and it looks all funky. anyone tried/tested em? http://www.planet-x-warehouse.co.uk/acatalog/SKOOSSGA.jpg

Hi Talboy, are you still looking for one? I have just what you need. For sale, not trade.

I was wondering about Cav's chances for points today too. I'm not mega fanatical of the whinging manc but why are the media pundits all writing off the intermediate sprints?
Fair enough cycling, traditional, champagne etc but it's a race that ends in Paris, not Mont Ventoux. I'd be trying to get that green jersey if I had a chance if I were in Cav's shoes. Not that Thor's team would make it easy but I bet it's possible if you through "etiquette" out of the window.
Stupid frog race! ;)

Hey, silly question: can't you take them back to the shop if unused?

*This is london, my friend.

Spokes are 80p for a nice dt swiss double butted, in silver. HTFU.*

I've been riding in LONDON (oh so rough and tough) for years and never crashed into anyone else.

Or do you mean in London people ride noticeably worse than other places? ;)[/quote]

I've not ridden in London, but is it that gangsta? I can't say it's all roses on the roads in Yorkshire. Why the big man attitude for London? - is it that bad?
To be fair I have just spent an hour reading accounts of you guys getting run off the road but it has happened elsewhere too I'm sure.

they are murderous. explain the concept of toe overlap and pedal scraping to her. I died twice today.
Well done on the build. I just had the bike shop build the parts I supplied them with, lazy me!

^ yo, your chain is not what we're talking about here.

Sorry, I was just seeing if the guys missing out here on this would be interested.

Hi, hope this is not out of order, but I thought I'd mention that I have a 1/8" chain for those on 2nds and 3rds.
SRAM PC-7X singlespeed chain 1/8". Nickel plated with a chain connector link. Used (not by me) but good looking. 94 links only sadly.

Crossbow and easton stem available again...

pedals to Jim. Yes they are fine to use. I'd have to ask catboy if he needs the 11t cog. You see it's on the end of the spacers and usable cog to make sure the shimano lockring stays on! Without it, there is the risk that the lockring slips over the spacer rings.

Sorry about that JamesMac. It does get frenzied on the classifieds don't it!

wheels provisionally gone to radius and catboy
sks to porter I will able to post next Saturday peeps.
Not sure right now about costs but will look it all up tomorrow.
Hope that's ok.

Hi there, just seen these models on ebay and was considering. I don't spose you have any or know where to get the 170 version of the above. (obviously without spending the £100 wiggle and crc want for them with silly double rings).
Cheers

Ta. I have just got back from 1 1/2 days away and see it's gone. ah well.

sorry lazer. I am willing to let you have it, it's only fair - for some reason I thought you'd sorted one but I am very wrong. It's not been sent yet anyway.

mitre is that still up for grabs? if so. shotgun. er dibs!
