That's an incidental discussion about the overall layout.

I'm on about the weird chamfers.

i was being a cock. it was hard to find, in the wrong place, etc.

And E&C looks like a rear rack? :-P

Er, thanks. I did several searches and came up with nothing.

Spotted this illustration of the new southern junction at the Elephant & Castle, which is due to start happening next month

A couple more images in the TfL document.

What's with the chamfer/fillet on the nearside of the rear line?

I've never seen it before and it doesn't conform with the TSRGD 2002 design, with which we're all familiar.

[The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002: Schedule 6, Road Markings]

Any ideas? Is it even legal?

I have a 2009 M6R that I bought for my rail commute from Surrey into London Bridge. I have a couple of very steep hills on the way to my home railway station, so I do make use of all the gears. I hired an M3S for a couple of days to see how it worked for me, but I'm glad I chose the 6 speed. YMMV.

The interleaved gearing took a couple of weeks to get used to, but I barely think about it now. It's a bit like learning musical scales on a guitar and becomes second nature pretty quickly.

It certainly isn't as fast as my other road bikes, but it's a fun ride with good visibility in traffic. My first two 'proper' bikes when I was a nipper had 16" wheels, so there's a small element of kid-ness creeping in too :)

I'm 5'11" and I think the standard seatpost is just a teeny bit to short for me after living with it for a few months. I could do with an extra inch, but can't be bothered to change it . Maybe when I'm flush (if ever?) I'll replace it with an extended titanium one, though you lose a little bit of the compactness when folded.

One thing I've found invaluable with the 'R' version (with a rear rack) is that fitting the Ezy Wheels (larger diameter rollers with bearings) makes moving it around folded a doddle. No worries about how heavy it is (plus the contents of my bag which stays on the bike). I can nip through the regular barriers at London Bridge instead of having to go through the manned gates:

it also means I don't catch my ankles on them like standard small roller wheels they replaced, which project out sideways a bit more

[damn! I want one, though I suspect I'd more likely spring for a Bronica RF645 or a Mamiya 7]

Fair enough. No offence taken.

£25 posted and I'll take them off your hands :)

Out of interest, what's the rear spacing?

Assuming English threads on all of them?

May I have

EVEREST 6spd 14-24T Exc £9
SHIMANO INDEXED 7spd 14-28T NOS £10

Thanks

edit: I'll take the SUNTOUR ULTRA-7 7spd 12-28T Exc (fits in width of 6spd) £8 too.

If it's true, I wonder how they will get this past the EU Competition Commissioner?

Does anyone know the market share of both companies in Europe?

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but does anyone know if theres actually any difference between the regular Tange Levin and the NJS version? Is there an actual difference or is it just that one comes with an njs stamp and the other doesnt?

I just bought a Levin NJS Alloy Headset.

They are different from the regular CDS Levin in that they look like an early Campag Record headset. The CDS is much plainer and they're all slightly different sizes.

Regular steel CDS Levin: 33.3 mm Stack Height

Levin NJS Chromed Steel: 38.2mm Stack

Levin NJS Alloy: 37.5 mm stack height

To Lazarus this thread- for an early nineties Chorus road double am I correct in thinking that a current campag square taper 102mm bottom bracket would be fine?

A bit late, but I just saw this thread.

AFAIK, for 1987-1994 Chorus/Record, it's 109mm for road doubles. That's what I have on the 1993 set I have with a 68-SSA spindle.

Undibs for me too, I'm afraid.

Just a little more than I was hoping to spend at the minute.

Dibs on campy crank - price please!

If they're early 80s, 2nd dibs and the same question.

Do you still have the Weinmann 405s? I'm interested.

PM-ed

specs on the lens?

If it's the 18-50 f/2.8 EX, then it's an amazing bargain as that retails for about £300 on its own.

I suspect it's the f/3.5-5.6 DC, though.

FWIW, it's available as a standard finish on the Brompton folding bike - Raw Lacquer.

I have one and I rather like it (they also take a bit of extra care over the brazing and surface finish for the frames that are used for this as they aren't going to be covered up with paint)

[damn! I just came out as a Brompton owner on a fixed gear forum :-D]

I'll have the CAMPAGNOLO SUPER RECORD FRONT GEAR braze-on 1980s very nice £14, please.

PM to follow.

PS: if Skully's purchase of the Simplex levers falls through for any reason, I want them :)

BTW,

SHIMANO 600 ULTEGRA 8-spd gear shifters for braze-on mount

Are they Type-A (Shimano's own boss) or Type-B (Campag-style)?

If you can find a pic, I may be interested.
