Nice one guys, just never heard of them and wanted an opinion. I woulda powder coated my pug but its a shit old carbolite frame with French threading so wanted to get something British so it's easier to get parts for it. Cheers.

Hi I've got a old pug fixed gear but want to build a much nicer singlespeed and been looking at the foffa prima frameset. I wanna do it in dark green and as they already come in that colour thought it might be a good frame to build on? Anyone have any experience with them? Do you think I could get a better frame and have it powder coated for less than £239 they charge?

Very interested if I can get some
More pics, I'll pm you my email if that's ok?

Sorry mate didnt see you said attaches to seatpost, I'll check that out.

That's what I've done, I got the White plastic one in the photo but the length of it is so short it stops about 4 inches short of my seat stay where I would have to connect it unfortunately. Anyone had much luck with wrapping the chain in split wire loom?

Cheers for the replys guys. The problem is the length of the guard and how steep the curve is where it bends around the chainring. It finishes about 4 inches away from my seatstay which means I'd have very long cable ties holding it.

Bought that guard and doesn't bloody fit! Getting irritated now, any help guys? Don't really wanna get a whole new frame just so I can have a chainguard.

Anyone think this could be modified to fit?

Ok so I've got an old Peugeot which has French threading, want a full chainguard or at least a hockey style one but unfortunately I've got a 52t chainring and can't find anywhere that does them for chainrings that big.

Was gonna just get a smaller chainring but have a 122bcd I believe which can't really find a smaller chainring for. Any of you guys had any luck with modifying guards? Nice ones At velo orange but only up to 48t.

Yeah checked that post out earlier, just wanted to see if any amateurs without woodwork experiece had any input
On it.

Yeah bamboo may be a good idea, it's purely atheistic but love the look of straight wood bars, what about a wood pole cut down into the right length?

Just wondering if any of you are using wooden bars on your bikes? Saw a bike with what looked like a thick wood dowel as a handlebar the other day and it looked great so thinking of using it for my next build. Could you just use a wooden pole and cut to the right length and sand/stain/weatherproof? I've looked at some online but there £200+ which to me seems insane for a straight piece of wood!

Hi there, my old peurgot frame has just rode it's last day so looking for a new frame. Nothing too expensive but something suitable for a 6 foot guy that I can swap some of my parts onto. If headset/bb are included that would be a plus. Looking to spend around £150 max really. Anyone got any frames laying around that need shifting?? Can pickup from anywhere London.

I've got a black 2008 58cm bike, would be willing to sell if your not set on the later model.

ok my first post here and i'll start by saying i have searched and i've seen all the combo's people are running but my question is as follows.

have an old Peugeot frame with a wrecked bb so bought a new one and the axle length is 113mm, figured i'd get rid or the cottered cranks since i have to remove them anyway and invest in some new ones but been looking around at cranks and closest fit i found were the stronglight on http://www.velosolo.co.uk/shopcrank.html but says should be used with 115mm...will they be ok with them or does 2mm make a pretty big difference?

thats what they were saying last september when we were there. maybe they just prolonged it another year. got a couples mates going there next week. hope it doesnt close down.

what do you guys make of this? my bottom bracket on my pugs ruined so looking for a new frame...a bit small for me but may buy it anyway.

went for a weekend there last year and spent about 18 hours in bar 25....the most amazing place on earth at the time, were supposed to close it down i think but it's still kicking.

had something similar last week, ended up being lose chainring bolts. sure you've already checked everythings tight though.

anything that will cover the holes works
