How much to post wheel, if reasonable I'll have it

Are these wolber rims clincher or tubs

Chater Lee pedals they were very good

Shame, but consider what the corrosion is like inside the tubes, I would suggest scrap for safety

Really nice job

Peter V mentions that if you are over 60 entry is OK at all time, I am 65 and I was told it was full, unless you know better, how can I enter????

Has anyone got a 2013 entry which they can not use, I want one, anyone.

Anyone with a 2013 leroica entry unable to make it, I want one, anyone??

Quick heads up regarding corrosion
This afternoon while walking, pushing my bike, on a side road along side the A69 dual carriageway at Hexham, Northumberland I saw a cyclist lying at the side of the eastbound carriageway, I immediately thought he was dead as he was not moving, I dumped my bike and climbed over the fence and went to him, he was unconcious, with severe facial injuries, bleeding from his mouth. he was breathing OK, ambulance phoned for, then a couple of other people turned up, including this old fellas son. I saw his bike lying also at the side of road was an old Pinarello and the forks had snapped at the steerer join area, I had a good look at the break and there was not a lot of metal where it had snapped, very little bright area where a break would have been as if corrosion had been in there for a while. --- So the point of this post is to make people aware that there is not a lot of metal in the steerer and if its corroded its strength is seriously compromised, its your face on the tarmac, so I urge you to check your steerer for rust in older bikes. ---- Oh by the way as an after thought the traffic flow on the road at the time was brisk and no bugger stopped for someone unconcious on the carriageway.

who did the re paint of the frame

Drill off just the bolt heads remove cleat then use mole grips on the stumps, not pliers, also release oil.

It will probably weigh about a pound I do not have any scales, if you put a load over the front forks it does affect the feel of the bike, all old porteur photos I have seen the forks were well raked forward which I would imagine slows down the steering. I never had the rack with a heavy load on it, well never more than about 3 or 4 kilos.

These racks I made for my previous bikes, all are about 11" x 12" they do not fit my new Bianchi cyclo cross bike, all black hammerited. £30 each posted. Buyer to ensure they are fitted securely and safely to their bikes.

I think if you value your safety, bin them if you shot blasted these forks they would resemble lace, it does not matter what you do to them braze/weld to what? they are not SAFE! -- Queue big face plant

How much is slightly used, if there is appreciable wear on the teeth of the cogs the chain will not seat into the teeth but sit on the tops as the wear rate will probably be greater than the half inch span of the new chain.

Also bear in mind you will have about 100 psi in the tyre this is also trying to blow the rim out, safety first

Thats Marie, Isobel, Sonja, and Keith in that ebay picture, - I know my onions.

Any inner gear cable fits, Stainless inner cable £2 including cable end cap from my local bike shop

You must check the wheel is correctly in the dropouts, if it is, your wheel needs dishing this would bring the rim to the centre of the chainstays and seatstays and directly under the centre bolt of the brake, if this is done the brake will probably work correctly, I cannot see how all of a sudden yesterday the brake packed up, with the wheel so far out of alignment which as you say has been like this for a long time.

How its 2 fellas ? - unlesssssssssss££££££!

My bike on the top of the Pennines a couple of years back

bike in the snow

Bright idea, seeing as you have flooded some of the metal with braze it would look good if it was all done with braze. it would also be rustproof on the outside - yes I like the idea of a brass coloured frame.

Definately not standard and a bit has snapped off the rear tang

no one's mentioned this fella
