Nice! Bars and mudguard id`s?

Thanks! I reccon I might have to buy two full sets. And, VO are out of their 20”s.

Any leads on a nice mudguard that is matchy matchy for an Omnium with 20 inch front and 29 inch rear, to 55 mm wide tires?

Am I stuck with shiny bluemels or $$$ Honjos?

I want it, alas I am in Sweden. Care to ship?

What trouble did it give you? Did you install it with full casing?

Would it be possible to run a standard Nexus 3 speed IGH on a Pompino? Anyone tried it?

Best budget 700c/disc brake/11spd-wheels?

Shimano/SRAM or Campagnolo bodies are both an option. Been eyeing Mavics new Crossone: http://www.mavic.com/wheels-mountainbike-crossone?tablet=1#.Ushhviy9KSM

How can you tell it's not one of the edelux lights designed to be used upside down?

Even if, it dont matter as a large part of the light output will only illuminate the wheel and the guard.

When i stopped off in Germany i saw a few 20" wheel bikes which looked handy!

Yeah, the handymen of the hospital all ride these 20" wheel dual rack bike. I'll try and get a photo of them.

A lot of folks also use kick bikes. A 67 year old super serious surgeon on a bright red and blue kids kick bike is a wonderful sight. =)

just out of curiosity, which hospital is that?

Malmö, Sweden. Why?

The sign says "Emergency bikes" . It's from my hospital, doctors use them when they need to change building fast. They are ridden in underground tunnels that connect the buildings of the hospital.

Something which turned the polo bike into a tow-along would be safer?

It's very possible to do just that with just a rack and some clever knots!

Fork goes to rack, rear wheel to the road. Then the rope makes sure the fork stays on the rack and attaches the front wheel to the side of pulled bike.

There, an extra-wheel bike!

i would say £300. it is retro carbon. the frame is in good nick. the saddle matches perfectly sti a bonus. you might get lucky and get two collectors bidding . its deffinately a mark above the giant cadex even that was over £1000 in '94

You are talking about frameset+saddle here, right? Would fell kind of bad selling it with the crap, broken group it has on now.

Got an idea about the wheels?

Would this frame or these wheels be worth anything?

Gears (halfbroken), brakes, chainset and soforth I plan on keeping for a beater.

Frame is a Specialized Epic SE from 1994. Carbon tubes with aluminium lugs, which are in great condition.
There is no damage, besides some cosmetic, to it.

Wheels are Rigida 30 mm rims laced to Campagnolo something.

Done yet? : - )

Soul, could I ask you to measure the stack on your frame and tell us the manufacturers stated size?

I am just about to buy one, but the short headtube has me wondering if I will fit it. And flyxii does not publish stack.

Sweet sweet bike build there!

What rotors more specifically did you get? 160 mm's?

Prettiest bike I've seen for a long, long time, yetidamo.

Would you tell us about the paintjob and the colours/techniques used?

I measured the headset that used to be in (recently), it was 1 1/8 inch. Now there's a faulty 1 inch mounted.

Is there a third option for diameter? Could the 1 1/8 one also have been wrong size?

a frame of some value.
Not worth a lot imo.

Can I press you for a figure? Seller is asking €950 / £800, which I feel is very steep.

Are the seatstays hourglass shaped?

Nopes.

Is that stem ti?

Relevant question. I have no idea..

I'm no expert but this looks bit like an older Merlin Extralight CX frame, the welds at the dropouts, the rear brake brigde and the seatbolt. Google for images to compare.

I see what you mean and you might well be right. Shot an email of to Mr Kellog who would have been the designer if this is the case.

EDIT: Tom Kellog answered, not a Merlin.

I found a used titanium bike for sale, but I have only a vague of what a fair price is. Help appreciated!

Seller thinks the frame it is from 2001, unknown brand, "Litespeed" are just stickers. Welds seems good?

The rest of the components are mostly run down, so they should not be a very large factor. I realize geography will play a part, lets forget that for a moment, but bike is in Sweden.

Very versitile tyres that actually work both on and off road.

Small blocks, I love them. I have Michelin Country Rocks on my commuter-MTB. Just brilliant. And so cheap.
