I could be interested, will send P.M.

Will be down at souths for my last time before I head off to Norway. Look forward to it.

6 stage wins!?

I was referring to his bike skills in the video, particularly when negotiating a turn in the tunnel.

He's clearly one of the best sprinters in the world and definitely the fastest.

just checked this out on the bbc site cav video

first, "sports personality" it a loose term when it come to cav unless its self personality (mind you, ryan giggs is also in the list).
second, in a tight squeeze his bike skills don't seem that great. Perhaps its off-season out of form and third, by far my favourite quote....

Ok, the Lycra man is freezing, let's stop there

A couple of peeps chatting outside the Hootananny in brixton this morning around 8:10. I was just coming onto effra road from brixton water lane. hey!

some nutter in brixton in shorts, t-shirt and trainers on a mountain bike. seriously that looked cold.

andynat - wjhat tyres are those?

Their Vittoria Rubino's. Perform pretty well and cheap.

I finally got this built (apart the front brake that needs a longer fastening bolt).

Handlebars and front badge

Nice lugs?

Took it to shepherds bush today for a happy ride in the sun.

I'll try and stop off for a pint as long as I've dried out from this morning.

pm'd on the Ambrosio rear brake.

cheers, i would use the transmission db and i've gone all over sheldons page. I get it all but my crank is not labelled with anything apart from Silstar.

I'll call up Brixton and see if they can help.

I've tracked down some calipers, I just need some levers now.

Anyone got any silver/chrome levers to fit a 25.4mm riser bar? Can pickup in london or brighton.

The problem I have is there is no bb currently in the frame otherwise I'd get a like for like replacement.

Is there not a way I can calculate what spindle length I need from taking a measurement from the crank, or is there a standard size for single-speed gearing ?

I can't seem to find any information that really makes sense to me.

I'm trying to get a bottom bracket for a build i'm putting together and need to get my head around what bb length I should go for.

From what I've read the length is set from the crank and should follow what that says. However, I can't see anything more on my crank than the name (Silstar ) and length of the arms (165mm).

Is there another way for me to get the measurement I need?

Cheers!

Hey all,

I need a set of brake calipers (front and rear) that have a reach of 65mm.

PM me if you can help.

Andy.

i can't find the thread from someone in kennington selling an abus chain lock. i'm interested if its still available, drop me a PM!

a nice looking red raleigh with drops sans-tape locked up outside an office i had a meeting in on paradise road, richmond.

Hey,

I'm after a 700c wheelset for a build i'm putting together. Would really prefer not to be fixed as its for a newbie to single speeds.

If anyone has anything please drop me a PM, getting a little desperate now!

Andy

A lovely black colnago locked up outside sainsbury's in east dulwich about 7ish this evening.

waited around for a little bit to say hi but gave up after a while.

the dell outlets pretty good for getting cheap laptops. had mine for a few years now and no real problems.

mac's are great if you sleep on a pile of cash. they're very shiny.

oh, if you want a decent operating system i can't recommend ubuntu enough. its geared for novices in unix and most of the drivers work straight away. you never need to buy software and can run windows programs on it too with a little bit of trickery. xp sucks.

second dibs on the red turbo, been after one of them for a while.

I don't mind second dibs on these if they become available again. can pick up from ele.

I am putting together a conversion and need some advice on wheels. I have an old 1950s frame with a front dropout width of 93mm and a rear width of 114mm.

I tried to put a set of 700 mavic's (shimano 105 hub & freewheel) but they didn't fit the spacers and axle so I know I need to make sure I get the right ones.

What specific points should I be looking for regarding hub width etc. and should I be looking at 26" wheels?

that does make sense but if i have a freewheel converter kit i can use spacers to adjust my chainline right?

I'll have a look to see how easy it is to remove the bottom bracket. I also don't know what threading takes and balancing this minefield off with using cottered cranks should be fun.

may be a job for brixton cycles.

is it wrong to want to high 5 people at bus stops?

I high 5'd a suit at a bus stop once. it was awesome, and made better by the fact he was really pissed off.

I recommend you high five anyone who is trying to flag a bus down.
