What is the crank on the black Rossin? I have one, is it any good?

i just used a black marker pen on mine, t cut didnt work. marker looks ok but needs touched up all the time.

does anyone have a set of their bullhorns? it doesn't say how wide they are anywhere. only $16!

also, did they ship to the UK without any issues? thanks.

shipped to n.ireland no probs. was with fedx and took less than a week.

I've had the frame/forks OTR for a few months and so far it has been fine. Its heavy, but for the price I have no complaints. Also the service from Eighthinch was excellent.

I'll soon be selling my old French bike. Thought I'd mention it here. I'll put up spec later.

Cool Alex, I've been a.w.o.l recently workin crazy hours and got the man flu. Will def be at Critical Mass tho. How could i miss that.. lol :)

Aid looks great Alex. Did the skid comp not make the cut ...lol ;)

Yea, it was a great turn out, and the route we took was really good. Roll on next week and critical mask.

cool, i'll def be there. got a new bike so i'm itching to get out for a spin :)

Anybody headin out tonight. I'm not workin for a change :)

That bike is perfect as a road bike, in fact, sell it to me instead of turning it into a fixie skidder!

seriously mate, best to keep that as a road bike and turn another bike into a fixed wheel one, a geared road bicycle can only be properly appreciated after learning and riding a fixed wheel bicycles.

I have a lovely (cheap component thought) road bike that I converted it to a fixed wheel bicycles, now I wish I hasn't because it's only recently I started enjoyed geared bicycles even more.

+1. Riding fixed got me into cycling, but now i really like riding geared too and would kill for a bike like that. Way too nice to convert.

cool, when you get it up and running, we go out on a wed night for a spin. sayin that i havnt been in a few weeks but the new bike should get the motivation levels up again. :)

i looked round a few places - ended up getting it done at universal industrial spraying - kilwee industrial estate dunmurry (BT17 0HD).

you can have any colour as long as it's grey - seriously limited colour pallete but cheap at 40 quid and a really good job.

the other alternative was i c powdercoating near donaghadee - looks like they would provide a better range of colours.

hopefully will have my bike finished next week - will post a pic in the 'anyone from belfast' thread - keep an eye out

Cheers, I have just got a new bike and i'm thinking of using my old lugged frame to build a nice singlespeed for longer rides. Hopefully they do can do white. Is this your first fg bike?

i'm also from belfast, where did you get the powdercoating done and was it expensive?

cheers

I'm up and down Botanic all the time, just give me a shout if you see me. What bike you gettin?

Critical mass tonight, 6:30, Custom House SQ.

I will be goin for a ride along the tow path prob to Lisburn and back. Leaving from cutters wharf (outside the bar) at 3 tomorrow. Anybody who is interested is more than welcome to come along. (will be a pretty sedate pace as my gf will be comming too).
