Hi HoKe, I'm interested in your frame, to replace this project which went so sadly awry (http://www.lfgss.com/conversations/251705/#comment10216058)

I'll PM.

Hi Ghah, is this still available? Where are you based? Thanks.

Welcome radsupertramp!

Classifieds are not allowed to be advertised elsewhere, take a look at the forum rules.

PM is personal message. You can send them after you've been around a while. Not sure how long, anyone?

Enjoy the forum! Check out all the sections, not just the classifieds.

Thanks rustynuts! That looks more economical... have you used these before? Looking at the ET515 it mentions suitable for applications which are subject to vibrations and shock, which sounds like a bike frame. The ET500 claims the strongest bond, but goes off in 5 minutes which may be too quick to apply. Any thoughts?

Yeah, I should think of my tibia...

I had a little chat with the guys at BLB, who reckon you won't get much change from £300 for having the resin fixing done professionally. For all the kit (applicators) and 50mm of DP490 I'm looking at £100 and no guarantee that it will work, which is not much less than I paid for the frame!

Seems such a shame, but it looks like I might be in the market for a new frame...

Oops, non drive-side...

Thanks for the replies guys! Yes markxrat, I am pretty gutted, but putting a brave face on it. I will investigate this 3M malarkey. However it is Friday afternoon and time to drown my sorrows. Here is a photo for posterity.

So...

I finally completed my first road bike build, which I've made a lot of mistakes on and learned a lot - a Specialized Epic Allez early 90s lugged carbon frame. I had been tweaking and testing it before taking it out for a full day, and felt a bump and a wobble. Rode gently home and discovered that the chainstays had pulled right off their lugs at the BB! They had been pressed back against the BB by compression forces and the rear derailleur cable and were wedged against the BB, off their lugs.

I think the failure may have been caused by my fitting a 130mm wheel into the 126mm dropouts, putting some force on those joints.

Unfortunately I didn't photograph the original failure and have since been able to prise them away and back onto their lugs. I will take a picture of the affected area tonight.

The question: Has anyone ever had any luck repairing carbon/alu bonds, or is it wall art? Thanks for any input.

Nice shoes, friendly chap. Cheers.

Where are you based? I may be able to make you an offer on the wheel, pending some higher res pics. Cheers.

Twiated pedals still available? Whatever dibs they're up to...

Second dibs Zonda. PM incoming

Hi, do you still have these? I am very interested but would like to try on if poss.

Hi, is the track day open to any and all forum members?

Dibs Pazzaz Bars, you have PM.

PM'd

Hi Kestrel, vert interested in the bars and stem, what's the steerer size?

Hi Vince,

I'll take the bullhorn cockpit off your hands for the listed price, if Buckaroo doesn't want it.

Cheers,

Miles

Big difference is 5D is full frame. Older processor, but the size of the sensor more than makes up for it. You can make the most of beautiful old glass and get awesomely shallow depth of field with a fast lens. I have one and love it, in case you didn't guess.

Still have a pair of pedals (one is no use to me)? Dibs if so. Cheers.

Hi, what's the steerer size on the stem?

Dibs the mudguards and the Michelin tyres please.

Dibs forks. Will pm

Hi, what diameter is the steerer on those forks?
