In Finland we have this thing called skeneketju, referring to the KMC z510 HX. Tried and tested. Price is around £15. Only downside is that its so extra wide that it wont fit a mini park tool chain brute tool...

Also used NJS track chains are mostly good deals, they are mostly in like new condition. I wonnder why the Izumi is twice the price to Daido and HKK at NJS-export?

For riding purposes i cannot understand getting a £70 chain

also around 2003 helmets became mandatory in big races (?) and made racers look a bit less rad hehheh!

Ha! Timing for this thread is spot on, ive been looking at a used principia rex e pro 2003 that is for sale for a very reasonable price. Now i might have to take it if i still can!

trying to build something like this out of it

ultralite ultrastiff aluminium and non-sloping frame. aahh

I truly hope so, as im riding one as well!

a drunken whipskid on that might lead to a bent chainstay though :/

Frejus looks soo coool but after reading the story...

bikes that break and are badly maintained are just wrong. crank that keeps falling off? unglued (cx)tubular?? my inner bike mechanic says NO

Has anyone else found the lowest position of the bontragers to be quite short and without a nice flat section? At least my smallish hands just dont seem to fit in there, leaving a gap in the middle of the palm and thus leading to uneven pressure. An extra bulge of handlebar tape in the right spot might help but...

I've always thought that a rat IS the mainbike and other bikes are for special purposes like sunday coffee shop rides

the cheaper models do look very differently shaped from the "real" ones. the cut-out is much larger in most of the nicer models

i've had a stratos for 2-3? years now. i like it. it looks like its from space (bonus)

My ebay hunting for the perfect stem is getting out of hand so I thought i'd try here too. Looking for a nice quality stem, my steerer is 1" carbon so shimming to 1&1/8" is Ok but 1-bolt tightening mechanism is not (which is sad because i love ringle zookas). Handlebar is also carbon so 2- or 4-bolt clamp there too. OH and no more than 6-degree rise please.

I'm very tempted to use a onebolt clamping (at least for handlebar) even on the carbon because of retro looks and even sent Syntace a question about it but i doubt they'll be very approving if/when they answer.

If someone is specialist in this carbon clamping forces business you can also give your opinion. The bar is Syntace Duraflite so its titanium meshed on the clamp area and DH-approved so it COULD be OK...

Ou and I live in Finland so postage is a must. Willling to pay good price for nice things

thank you for your time

I'll occupy this thread as I'm also looking for such a seatpost

something else than noname/kalloy. maybe campag or USE alien etc

o yea and im located in Finland

I'm guessing 700c/29er in a path racer frame that was meant to have large clearances with 27" wheels.

It is not mine but it runs 700c

rims are sun ringle mtx-33 29er and tires 700x35c racing ralph

would really like to know about the original use of the frame! path racer is very likely. or maybe they just made track training frames with the same mold as touring&basic frames

cool name at least! keep it g

^ Is that pic in Oslo?

pretty close, Helsinki =)

And I think the rims have been sprayed black by somebody. R.I.P.

nope.. they are on my bike =) i think there was another set of sparkle rims somewhere here that got sprayed tho

ohhh that cbt frankenbike is so nice! one of the coolest bikes i've seen for a while!

2 huge pictures added to first post

im feeling like giving this up again... so if anybody is interested drop a PM. looking for a size 54-56 track frame. can consider pretty much anything from vintage steel to carbon. except mass produced cheapo frames

also whole bikes considered.

oh yeah and the paint has suffered quite a bit from daily abuse, so you will get ++++ street cred

the curve on the seat tube for the rear wheel looks a bit off, any chance this is meant for 650c wheels?

ohhhhhhhh sooo nice........ if it was my size i wouldnt think for a second

c'moon now i know you got something hidden in your stashes!
