Nice work!

I have this handbuilt custom Guyzer that I'm thinking of parting with. Pretty interesting little steel frame, Columbus Nemo tubing, made by a small UK builder in the 90s I believe.

haha, if it was bigger it wouldn't be leaving me!

I'm pretty sure this is going to be too small for me, so I'm unfortunately going to have to put it tentatively up for sale,. Any ideas what this is worth or is anyone interested in it before I do a full for sale advert?

You can gently tap a Stanley knife blade in between the crown race and the fork to open up a gap to enable you to something more substantial in there. Its not a nice way to do it, but its one way of doing it if you don't have the correct tools

Thank you for the reply! Ping me a private message, let’s talk if you want them!

Just wondering what these are worth, I've looked around at previous for sale threads and prices vary massively. I need to put them up for sale, but don't want to price them wrongly. These seem to work well, they don't leak air, unfortunately they have been robbed of their titanium brake posts...

I'm sorry you've had issues, but as previously mentioned, from my own personal experience, I have no problem recommending him.

Really? I've been using Steve for years and never had anything other than great work with a super quick turnaround.

Nope, we only use Steve at Acorn, always a fantastic service!

Bad luck there, although easily repairable, hopefully you can find someone local to do the repair, if you can't we could easily turn it around in the same day for you, although you would have to ship the bike to us here in Norfolk. Fingers crossed you can find somebody closer but we are here if...

I always used an old 2p to put in the slot. There isn’t much cash around these days, not sure if a bitcoin would do the trick?

I’m sure that if you’d have asked for 27.5” they’d have known. I guess they know of it as a new size developed especially for mountain bikes.

Yes, I haven’t tried a wheel and tyre in it yet, so I’m unsure of what size rubber will comfortably fit

Yeah, I’ll have to have a look to see if they are stock from the nemo tube set or if they were shaped by the builder. They look cool, but they neck down where the tyre will be so actually reduce clearance!
