I can recommend the arm warmers. Probably the best heavy weight ones I've used.

Thanks for the advice I have found this an interesting read.......... apart from the debate about the merrits........ I have a new frame coming, which after these posts, will be collected in person.

Does anyone know the green bike is and what color it was?...

Should also think about the cost double Butted spokes 60p good bladed spokes 190p.....two wheeels......64 spokes........you do the maths.

Your OK with that do it. i think the only time not to use them performance wise would be if you are trying to save weight.

Recommend SAPIM CX-RAY probably the best you can get and only ones I have been able to get in silver.

I have just received a set 5mins ago from the posty a coincidence or what!

They are not the prettiest of fork, though what do you expect for £12.95, probably the cheapest you can buy. Chrome looks good forks ends are stamped out steel type with mud guard eyes. 4" before the thread starts and 6" of thread so should fit all but the very smallest of head tubes.

Reynolds do a set for around £35 which are better quality though without MG eyes.

DON'T FORGET ALWAYS QUESTION WHY A FRAME DOES NOT HAVE FORKS.......IT HAS PROBABLY BEEN IN A FRONT END KNOCK CHECK THE FRAME.....plus it is a pain in the ass finding new ones!

Thanks RPM... I needed some one to tell me to stop and seek professional help before I F it up.......
The Miss's said something along that line but.........

HI,

I am have problems getting a BB into a frame any tips?

I suspect that it has been cross threaded. I don't want to force the issue if you know what I mean.

Would a bike shop have a tap for this type of thing?

Yep it can be want to get the rear stays done though the whole bike gets costly, plus the brazing stands out....don't personally like that. Don't think it needs clear coating. Could not bother finishing the frame, tubes come kind of black colour..would look like shit, never get nicked, last forever, V.nice frame incognito?

Not a chance of that, this will be a 'best' bike if there is ever such a thing.. my best bike is the one I always want to ride!

kind a like the triple panel on your bike marie, the internal TT rear brake looks clean too.

When I went up to Leeds they had loads of brazed bikes too both looked very good, wanted to buy the lot!

Also nice seeing the colors on a bike not a small square sample. Thanks guys, any more ideas gratefully received:)

Nice to see so many bobs out there. Mine wont be lugged though...possable regret???? it will be 953 so supper light! so for the classic look I was thought square panel on the head tube

Yep that was more what I was thinking.....like the colour coded nipples I going for that on a Dave Davey track/path I'm building now.

Wow, it that flat black with metallic black lettering? looks goood. Though I was thinking on more of a classic look. Two blue bikes in the garage and already building up a another blue bike! I've got to brake the mold with this one though. Colour is one thing, though what about the designs, they will do everything from flames (not a chance) barbers pole and even that candle smoke effect(not really classic)

Hi Guys,
I've got a Bob Jackson custom in build, having left it months to confirm the paint it's come to d day. Struggling to make up my mind too much choice included in the price is any color any design! Looking for the classic look with chrome stays anyone got any inspiration for me? I'm struggling :(

Thanks for the post Max is Now!....... much appreciated!

Some one had time on their hands....Imagine trying this in for a repaint!

Why should teegan not just get a new rim? I know there is not much choice for both rim and tires but it has to be the easiest and quickest option to get the bike on the road.

I thought allot of older frames were built to allow mudguards to be fitted for road training, also may of the old 'tracks' were not paved tight tire clearance would have been a disadvantage, they are going to be gappy.

I use deep drop brakes on my winter bike...it stops OK never noticed judder.

Every thing the handy man needs!

Two guys near where live were whacked in the head by a chap in a white van, one of them one was riding in a club TT! no one got numberplate's C**TS

I do allot of riding along the lea tow path in north London at night, don't half put the shits up you some times though never had any problems apart from glass. I half expect piano wire to be strung across my path.....maby a little too paranoid!

Rather than trying to catch the end of the pin.....by some new ones for pence...They go threw much easer and don't risk bending out the other side. Could even get a split link.

Working on this one... frame didn't come with forks, looks like its taken a front impact and quite a few dinks, not bad price though. Will possibly need to put some work in on the frame....or not get too anal over it... not sure about the forks though.

Thought I would post see what you guys think.

Try and ignore the wheels! Building some new ones up.

The copper plating looks sweeeeet........

Hope he likes the green once it oxidizes in a year or two!

The park at Saff is the DB though the big bowl is BIG. It's not even that busy any more.

I think they are getting money for more of a street section.

Nice to see some one getting it right for a change

Thank god I was not riding fixed would probable taken my whole calf off!
