Work bike got nicked so emptied the parts bin to make something unnickable

Thanks for all the messages! Everything now sorted for a new build apart from a bottom bracket, if anyone has any cheap square taper English thread bottom brackets for sale please let us know!

Anyone in here ever used barelli track cranks and know what size bottom bracket I’d need with them?

Also forgot to mention above looking for a front brake calliper, any old thing will do

Hey all, my bike got nicked last night and as I cycle for work I need a bike ASAP! I’ve looked in the parts bin and there’s most of the stuff in there to build a bike, but I need a 54-55 frame to stick it all on, as well as some 144bcd crank arms and a front wheel.
Would preferably like a steel track frame with a 1inch headset as I’ve got a quill stem in the spares box but show us what you’ve got anyway! Cheers!

Yo I know this probably isn’t the right place to post but I’m sure a few of you have seen my bike around, my pink pre cursas just been robbed in new cross, if anyone could keep an eye out/put a lock on if they see it !

Such sick frames, wish this was bigger would love another one!

If anyone wants these they’re both still in my garden, condition probably worse cause of being stored outside

^^^

Have a look on Facebook marketplace, have seen a fair few fixed/single speed wheel sets pop up there recently

Also after a few other bits, a front road wheel, a 144bcd crankset (preferably 165mm, don’t need chainring), a front brake caliper, and a 25.4 quill stem. Beater condition welcome for all

Realised the spare parts bin has about enough in it to build a full bike so why not, looking for something steel and as cheap as possible. Will be fixed gear so road frames with horizontal dropouts or track frames, not picky at all. Preferably 27.2 seatpost but not a dealbreaker if not!

Maybe not the best place to ask but I have these on both my bikes so I’m probably gonna die soon anyway. What’s the right bottom bracket length to use with these? Some sites say to use a 110mm and some say to use a 107mm. I’m guessing that the length has changed over the years as on my bike with the older (safer?) primatos I’ve got a 110mm campag bottom bracket and the chain lines bang on. I’m looking to put a new bb in on my other bike with the newer black primatos on as there’s a creaking noise seemingly coming from the bb that came with the cranks (second hand, can’t see marking on the shell to denote size) and the chain line on this frame seems a little off. If the creaking persists with a new bb I’m just gonna assume death is knocking on the door and my cranks are about to give way.

Dunno if it's ratty enough but it's my current work bike so it probably will be soon hahaha

Is it too late to join in on this? Me and a friend would love to get on this!

That'd be great yeah that sounds super cheap!

Ah brill cheers! Yeah they’re both MasterCard so should be good

Thankyou! Bunch of good advice in here! Sounds like dutch bikes are the way to go, will definitely try to ride out to some tulips too that sounds great. Neither of us have credit cards but have monzo, reckon thats good or should we take out a travel credit card?

cheers @nefarious @graunch @t.b. for the advice I'll check out all the places and figure out where we wanna go!

My girlfriend and I are planning a trip to Amsterdam in the new year, would love to hear of any recommendations of stuff to do in the city! We’re both skateboarders as well so any cool skate related stuff. Also wondering if anyone has any experience hiring bikes in Amsterdam, where’s best and what kinda bikes you get. Ideally renting fixed gears would be fun given how flat the city is so any recommendations on that front welcome! Cheers!

Hey man sorry! I’ve only just seen this, I’m sorted now thanks to @matteroftaste , Stuart bag is doing the job well! I think deliveroo were doing free gear but they’re no longer taking on cyclists, and Uber eats still charge for their bags. Cheers though much appreciated!

Made mine feel tiny

Will take if not gone already!

Been parked up next to this bike (the feather) twice in the last week or so in completely different bits of London. Presume you’re on here, hi!
