Sturmey X-RF5 hubs are usually 36h or 28h for folders, so depends on your rim if you can reuse it or not.
Respacing is usually ok but can give problems with gearchanging if it's overdone.
http://oldbiketrader.co.uk/display_Sturmey_Archer.php?options=newhubspost has the hubs for sale at £75 + del.
He knows a ton about sturmey hubs, and is very helpful, you can call him on 020 8306 0060.
I've no connection at all with the above business.

I ocassionally use a fixed S3X 3-speed hub with a WI freewheel if I feel like lazy riding on the local hills. This hub takes a standard Shimano cassette cog(use Surly cogs, they fit better) for fixed, or a standard threaded freewheel.

Ok, I'll take the Dyna-Tech if it's still available.

Dibs on the Carlton Courette Mixte please, PM on its way

I've got some Belleville bars almost unused, just fitted, tried and removed, going for £17 posted. I had the opposite problem, they swept back a bit too far on a smallish frame. Nice bars though.

Hi, could be interested in the 26" wheel, what's the condition?

cheers,

Alan

Got Stronglight ST-1000 165mm cranks fitted with 3/32 Zicral 44t 130BCD. Almost unused, and would probably fit your budget.

Got a silver 3/32 130bcd Stronglight ring in silver. It was tried for about 10 miles then removed. I can post.

catsnapper - can i snaffle that off you if alasdair doesn't want it?

Sure. pm'd.

To get a good flavour of cycling in Am'dam have a look at http://amsterdamize.com/
It's run by a Dutch media guy that lives, works and cycles there.

If you like the trad Dutch workbikes or need any bike repairs this place is run by an expat American guy, and is very helpful: http://www.workcycles.com/workbike/

A Brit that lives in Assen, makes baskets for bikes, runs tours, and very clued up on cycling around the Assen region: http://hembrow.blogspot.com/

If you haven't cycled in Holland before you'll wish you had, but then you'll wonder why you came back here...:-)

I've got a slightly used 15t 3/32 On-One Sprocket and locking ring, plus some unused tracknuts in the spares box somewhere. Can post them, I'm over by the mudflats of Essex.

Lots of ways of getting to Amsterdam/Netherlands by train and quite cheap if you book in advance...pick out the bits from this guys site.
If you're into the alternative delights of the Amsterdam cafe scene, remember some of them including the most famous ones are scheduled to get closed down by new regulations, so get there soon....

The region round Assen is one of the best in Holland for cycle routes and bike friendliness. There's a Brit in Assen called David Hembrow that runs/organises bike tours...Dutch style - upright and freewheeling...

Traffic penalties are supposedly based on income over here in the UK - except fixed penalties of course!

It got a good review from Mikael Colville-Andersen over on his Copehagenize site, where he promotes the idea of making the world like Copenhagen - about bikes....:-)

After riding both fixed and free regularly for waaaay too many years it's always the free that feels odd and clunky, the fixed just feels more natural.......

I'm 62 and skinnyish, but living at the top of a short, steep hill 46-19 has been an ok compromise. That means I spin out on the way down, and struggle on the way up..:-)

Hi Roberto - have you still got the truing stand?

Has anybody gone ahead with a conversion on a Swift folder? I've seen a couple of fixed conversions featured, and a barebones frame available in the US. Wondered if it was worth the shipping costs rather than converting a fully built one.
