Those inline things that allowed you to run as triple chainring and front mech with a double STI

Specialized Tricross single speed. XS frame 49cm. Meant for a smaller rider but fine for me atabout 5’7”. Mostly standard but cross top brake levers are long gone. 170mmcranks. Front rim was replaced with a nice Mavic Open Pro which with a week Ihad marked with a toe strap on a car rack. A used bike so some scratches andpaint chips plus a few where a rack and guards were fitted. C+S recent butused. Can come with a 165mm chainset to suit the shorter rider. In FoD andwould very much prefer cash on collection. £300. ONO

I have a 49cm(xs) Specialized ricross single speed. Its in Gloucestershire though. It can go with knobblies or 28mm road tyres

Front mech wanted.
Musts include 28.6, non Japanese, silver, good quality. Open to offers.

Can anyone point me to a supplier of cheap and nasty fixed sprockets. just want 1 or 2 to play with before deciding on the gera. maybe even good 2nd hand. say 18 to 20 t

And i was at Cribbs today for my 10 yearly trip. Could have deliverd from across the bridge. Got 8 speed, Sachs badged Ergos. Decals say Carbon BB and Mercian tell me they would be Record. Not sure what they are worth as i sue them but really want to get some lower spec 9 speeders. Would swap . Offers?

Buy my Kaffenback? Various spec choice

If it helps (or not!)120mm is 5 speed spacing or some ultra 6.I have managed to get a 7 speed block in my Singlecross which has 120mm ends but its tight and needed some re dishing. Try Sheldon more more info

I just use cheapo double sided mtb SPD's like the ones above,Been using them for 15 years I reckon. Still on the same cleats and no issues. got a very duff knee so the float on them suits nicely. Cheap and robust. Work well

got lost reading all the thread but where are you? I have a Raleigh mtb frame . 501 tubing so fair quality. Purple. I think its a Mirage. F&F plus head set all there. could easily bung on a pair of cheap wheels witha threaded back . all you need is fixed cog for the wheels. Other bits maybe possible especially if you want cheap stuff. Can post it all via courier for about 9 quid. Actual cost according to how much you have.

26 quid for the MKS!!!!! take the 2 off and its expensive!

you could of course stop properly:)
Must admit never to bothering with chain whip. Hand tight then ride it and mine are always a complete bugger to remove. Never had one undo let alone with a lock ring

bugger . this is the 2nd forum the link hasn't worked on.
that's it though, well done.

Cyclocross or touring bike with canti bosses wanted. 19-20" ish. Nice old steel would be great but not fussy. Cheap is good. Anything???

Dawes, pre war? About 21" . enough paint to see decals, 531 stickers etc. Fork has lost all chrome. clip style HS, Resilions cantis, Cottered chainset. Make a good fixed project or SS. £50 posted or swap for cyclocross/ touring F&F with canti bosses. email please to

Got a 48 cm Quintana Roo. this was built for 650c wheels but was most recently run on narrow 26" mountain bike wheels. At this size it is the only way to get decent ie not slack , angles and minimal toe overlap. In gloucestershire , just west of old Severn Bridge. Will post for 50 quid. Cheap Campag BB fitted. email me on
mattsccm at fsmail.net
no at or gaps of course.

Lenton sold.
Pics of Dawes of Dawes on flickr link above. Its tatty and missing the chrome on forks but very original!!!

Not 100% sure on Roo steel type. Managed to email the company a few years ago and they said it was a good Chro-moly probably Tange but couldn't say which. structurally no probs. Some stone chips showing white under coat thro' red top coat

**More info
**Had a look at the Carlton in the sun today.There are 3 top tube mounted cable guides which are all in effect a 5mm tube which are then split by the factory creating two parallel rings from a single braze on. One half of the middle one has been damaged and removed leaving only a single ring. could be tidied up more to be only noticeable if looked for. Also took off all the manky reflective tap which has been there since at least 95. Paint underneath is scabby or has come off with stickers so it does need a respray unless the grot bike is your look.
BB fitting is modern shimano compatible if you are interested.
All pm's and emails so far sent reply saying the same.

my ad below might have something. Lenton wants paint unless you want scruffy original but some decals there. Carlton maybe too big. Not converted inches to cm

pics at http://www.flickr.com/photos/mattsccm/ Ignore the Raleigh Triathlin, its sold!

Must admit I have tried these with V's and they were fairly useless. mini v's with road levers tend to be toss as well. why not try some nice wide cantis. Easy to adjust and more classy looking. No doubt the next person along will think just the opposite though!!

Probably shouldn't say this but when I have got enough posts I have some frame that I will stick in the classifieds that will make good fixeds. Great only 1 post to go

Cheap copy motorcycle brake/clutch levers have split clamps and work just like a mtb lever.

130 is modern road spacings. Older free wheel stuff was mostly 126 so an old threaded hub wheel will go in. Either use a longer axles if needed and a washer or just push the frame together a bit. No problems and it was common on steel frames even at pr level. Using old wheels is cheap, seen a stack on the classifieds and allows you to use some nice old classic hubs
