Cool I might come around tonight and check it out... depends if i can get out of work in time.
I'll Pm you in a second.

I'm interested... how rusty is rusty? Thinking of getting a respray. Where abouts are you based, it would be good to come and have a look :)

yeah i took a few bikes for test rides when i was looking for an OTP, i think i preferred the Campy hoods.

Thanks so much for all your suggestions guys, i've tried campag hoods and did find them comfy, as well as ultegra. The only one i haven't tried is SRAM...

The frame isn''t going to arrive for a little while so i've got a few days to mull it over

thanks again,

Robin

Hi guys,

I've decided to build a road bike from parts rather than buying an OTP

1. I was thinking about getting a campy Athena groupset... but i was wondering if it was easy to source parts when things need fixing/replacing, i don't know why but i have a feeling that it might be a pain in the arse and probably easier to get ultegra. Am i wrong?

2. I've only built up a track bike before, can anyone recommend a good person i can pay in cash/biscuits/sexual favours to help set it all up for me. I heard there's a guy called Chris (?) who has a shop around brick lane who will build it with you so you can learn.

Thanks for your time.

Also interested in the H+ son rear, 3rd dibs?

I got the headset fitted on my PX track a couple of weeks ago,

used it a couple of times and seemed fine.

When i went to change my stem today the metal bung wouldn't tighten back up properly, it's not gripping the inside of the steering tube anymore. The bolt does up tight but the whole bung can still lift right out.

Any ideas why this might be? There was a red gritty type paste on it which may have rubbed off a little?

Thanks for your help,

Robin

Ed you have a pm

Hi Guys

looking for a plain black oversize stem to go on my track bike, the Cinelli pista i bought is waaay to savage a drop .

1 1/8"

90- 100 mm and around a 7 degree angle would be ideal.

Thanks, Robin

Sorted now...

Just got a PX track frame, i've put it together but i'm afraid of over tightening.

Planning to be at Herne Hill on Saturday (weather permitting) Maybe someone could lend one to me for a minute then?

Thanks very much, Robin

p.s seatpost is 5nm, stem is 7nm, crank bolts are around 30-50nm, not sure about axle nuts?

Does anyone have a torque wrench i could borrow please?

Just put together my planet x track and a little scared of over tightening things.

I'm going to be at Herne Hill on Sat if that makes things easy for meeting up.

Thanks, Robyn

Its called Kanphopo by The Very Best (album's called Warm heart of Africa).

I hate it when I just want to watch a video and hear the sound, but the sound was terrible so I had an excuse! Glad you liked it

Nice one, have it on spotify now.

Cheers, Robin

Hi Guys,

Just need to get some pedals/cages for my track build,

i think i'll probably move to clipless pedals at some point but until i finaly make up my mind.

Double straps, preferably black please.

Thanks, Robin

As long as it's 144 bcd and 1/8th.

Bit blurry but that looks like an njs stamp in the big pic?

you have a pm.

thanks, Robyn

I certainly paid more than that, but it was the 7710's with a matching BB

Hello people,

recently bought some dura ace cranks, now i need a ring to go with it.

144bcd, njs stamped if possible, 48-52 teeth.

Thanks, Robin

Hello

I was thinking about getting some new mavic ellipses...

but thought i'd see if anyone out there has something better for a similar price (around £320)

preferably black but open to suggestions.

thanks, Robyn

Hello,

do you have any picks showing the scratch?

Thanks, Robin

Dibs on the saddle please.

PM coming your way.

Dibs on the chainring, ebenzo you have a pm.

Thanks for all the replies guys.

It looks like I'm going for a Planet X then.

Hi guys,

I'm thinking of getting a planet X track frame, but as far as I'm aware they only go up to a 58?

I'm 6'3 and a smidge with an inside leg of 33ish inches

Is it a no go or are there ways around these things like seat height/stem length.

Cheers, Robyn
