Bike thief stopped!

Yeah i remembered it, still logged a fair few miles, i didnt get on the bike that much which was a shame but i contributed honestly.

Sold pending payment ect.

£100 more buys you this?! http://www.lfgss.com/thread69298.html /shameless plug

They are nice to ride for sure, cheers man.

How did that slip my mind! Size added.

Id rather not split right now, as ill more than likely end up with more parts to store when i leave on the 1st. Just offering this for sale to help relieve the pain of the cost of travelling these days, so if i do split, you'll have a pm. Cheers.

Im leaving for the US in 42 days, and im not sure when ill be back, or even if ill be back.

I do have a load of parts stored that i can probably keep, but i also have a fair few bikes, the cheapers ones ill be giving to friends.

Anyway, just thought its worth a shot to see if anyone fancies this tarck beater.

It was made in 1987, in ukraine.

Bought the frame from a seller called foma who is by the way, a dick. Got stung by customs and to be honest made what was a bargain into less of one but shit happens.

The frame is solid, and from what id read they're tough as nails, though i havent given it a very hard time as ive only had it throughout summer, but its pretty stiff and doesent weigh a great deal.

Its a completely undrilled f&f so you'll need a clamp on brake unless you want to ride it brakeless which ive been doing.

Here are some points about these frames you should know, as i dont want someone buying it and not knowing a few things specific to some of these old ussr frames.

Fork and headset are russian threaded, so they basicaly work with eachother, but if you want a new headset you'll have to chase the fork threads, or have a new steerer put on. The headset is original and works well enough for its age.

Seatpost is 25mm, i have a 26mm kalloy team issue on there thats been taken down to 25mm.

Everything else is normal, british BB threads and 120mm rear spacing ect.

Now onto specs.

Wheels were bought from Lae at a bargain price of £60.

Orig. thread here.

they are Mavic open sports, s/s DB spokes onto zenith sealed hubs, both 3cross.

Tough wheels and theyre smooth and true.

Ive put my fav drivetrain combo for under £100 on there, which is a stronglight track 2000 chainset, with a stronglight jp400 alloy cup BB. A seriously good combo and ive put that on two separate bikes now as its stiff and the cnc rings are really really good.

chain is kmc z510, which i think is the best cheapish chain you can buy.

tyres are nearly new folding michelin speedium 2's, which are nice for the money, and pretty light.

tubes are cheap butyl but work.

seat is a nos velo thing i had lying around, which killed me the first ride but since is really comfy, equally comfy to my charge spoon, but the spoon took longer to break in.

Stem and bars are british made GB i believe and were parts i had laying around, as i usualy ride modern bikes, i didnt have many threaded spares so to speak, they work well for this build.

Gearing is pretty heavy @49x15 but i use this bike for non serious TTs locally so its a nice gear, also i guess if you skid, which i dont , on purpose anyway, you have 15 or 30 skid patches which means you wont tear through tyres as often.

No pedals unforch, as they will be stored with my shoes as theyre a good team.

Anyway TLDR; Buy my tarck bike, its tough, lugged and fast but doesent cost a shit ton!

And the frame before it was built http://i55.tinypic.com/2mg6mw8.jpg

Im in southend, essex, but usually end up splitting a train ticket with buyers.

£350 ono.

NIce one everyone who joined in, shame they made you have a password with a capital and a number as i kept forgetting mine especially after long rides, so not everything was logged, but you all did good.

Yeah i mean whats worse is, they're all taking turns spamming it around like there will be someone remotely impressed that they smoke shit weed.
Actually whats worse is their student loans pay for that shit.

Sad fucks from facebook, possibly even more sad is i have them added.

Yeah you can definitely still find her in 3 clicks.

Christ, the wrong people could win this.

Its peng! Ive not laced a snowflake pattern before, are they difficult to maintain?

^ I have to wonder if people build bikes like that to troll people like us.

^^^^ Done that in front of a loaded bus, it was mortifying.

punkbuster is whack, people still hax0r regardless.

Just bought an Xbox 360 to play the promo copy of Alice Madness Returns I was sent. Seems a bit overkill, but most games shipped out to press these days seem to be xbox. I've not worked out why though, Duke Nukem Forever is apparently better on the PC yet they shipped the xbox copies ...

Everything is better on a good pc, consoles are like OTP bikes, good but build it yourself and it will always be better, unless youre thick as fuck..

I have it, that's why I'm not impressed.

Aww come on, be in my squad for a squad deathmatch sometime then and dominate some kids.

"one of the most deadliest players..."
imbeciles.

Oh look, he shot 2 people who were crouched in the same corner then died. Oh look, he jumped while spraying full auto and killed someone.
Crap.

Okay, but play the game before you think that. Its nothing like CS, theres bullet drop, and damage drop off with range ect, try it out.

just added you

Sweet, did you have to add lurch3389?

Still cant add you spotter.. got spenceey.

Thing is, hardcore fps games take loads of practice, i like playing them, but i havent got 40 hours a week to play them, so we'll always get our asses handed to us by guys like them^
