I've got one of these exact frame sets except for the size and my forks aren't drilled for a brake (and the rust).

Have a bump.

Excellent, thanks.

As my wife is a bit crafty, and into bikes, she's decided to make some bunting to celebrate the 100th Tour de France. It's rather nice and she's asked me to post on here in case anyone would like some made.

Pictures can be found here https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.200730656745200.1073741827.125174644300802&type=1

It comes in lengths of 4.5 metres and is priced at:
£10 for single sided (12 flags)
£20 for double sided (12 flags)

I'm sure she can do custom lengths though if you'd like.

Thanks.

PM'd about the tag-along.

I was looking for one of these a while back. I asked around at a Herne Hill jumble where one of the regular stall holder chaps happened to have one in a box of bits - he gave it to me for nothing.
No idea when the next jumble is but might be worth a try?

^ that's a much nicer way of saying what I was about to say.

Andyp, obviously robadob is first in line here but I'm also looking for a 58 ctc track frameset, so if it doesn't work out I'd be interested.

Thanks for the update.

I've was looking at primitive robot's bj this morning (and yeah it does look sweat) but decided that as it's not quite a 58ctc and I'm hoping to get something with tighter fork clearance (and no brake holes) I'd let it go.
I've just been looking at your vivalo too and trying to convince myself that at 186cm it wouldn't be too small for me - it's got the tight clearances and lack of brake drillings I'm after.

Nothing out there?

Unfortunately I've just broken my frame so I'm in the market for a replacement.
This (http://www.lfgss.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=56590&stc=1&d=1343769171) is the one that broke so something like it would be ideal.
I'm looking for lugged steel of decent quality, a 58 - 59cm ctc seat tube, tight clearances, and no brake drillings.

Thanks,
tony

PM'd re: Russian track frame.

How many holes in those hubs too please?
It's hurting my eyes trying to count them.

PM sent.

mmmm nice!
dibs front wheel if/when you split.

I have some that might tick all the boxes but need to check the steerer length when I get home.
Will PM you when I know later tonight...

Pics?

Favourite ride of the year - in!

20c on an outdoor track isnt so great at the bends, more rubber would be better. Im not sure what HH surface is like, in Dublin the track is fine but sometimes kids throw glass on, I know a few use conti gp supersonic, what are they like for punctures? Theres no puncture protection layer but I presume they are alot more resitant than a conti tempo

Maybe I'll just put a 20c on the front and see how it goes - less weight on that wheel so perhaps it won't be an issue.

Can't really tell from the pics - have either rims had a brake used on them?

Cool, thanks - 20s it will be.

The concern was that if the fork flexes too much on the bank or a bulge develops with the tyre it could cause it to jam and end with me flying over the bars.

Being the (much) less experienced party I didn't want to argue about it with the instructor.

I was wondering whether there's any reason why 20c tyres would be a bad idea at HH? They're mentioned once or twice but I could find a definitive answer.

I did the induction and first basic training session yesterday but had to borrow a front wheel because one of the instructors thought the tyre/fork clearance was too tight to be safe - it's probably only about 1mm with a 700 x 23c Vittoria Rubino.
Therefore, I'm thinking of getting a set of Vittoria Diamante Pro Tyre 700 x 20c for track use only. I've never ridden on 20c's before so no idea what the difference would be.
I weight about 90kg if that makes any difference.

Thanks.

I'm interested in the bars and stem if you split - are the bars steel or alloy?

Dibs saddle, PM sent.

Thanks for the mileage report Radius, nice meeting up with you at the C&H to kick things off. Bummer about your crash, good to hear your not too damaged.

Another nice day in the sun and thanks Graham for organising - looking forward to next years already...
