Drop bars you say? Thread 'the unofficially cool MTB drop bar thread' https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/the-unofficially-cool-mtb-drop-bar-thread.94356/

That that after I replied.

Mounts are the same regardless of brake type, only U brakes are different.

So the big box of joy arrived at work yesterday, managed a bit of time to sift through yesterday evening. I'm going to be adding bits this weekend and getting it shifted on - who's going to be next? Oh, I'll sort a pic when it's light.

Send it back to me - just picked up a van load of lovely bits from @neuroportal bound to be parts in there to pass on!

Queensferry? Pick up Sat afternoon maybe? Send me a PM. 👍

Understated, simple and clean... love it. ❤️

@carlsoundwave I'll have a look for a suitable box.

I'll take a look, grab a pic. Might get chance tomorrow afternoon 🤞

Maybe, but it's a faff, I don't live/work anywhere near a bike shop and I don't have a lot of opportunities to get to a parcel drop off place. Excuses, excuses... How much is postage do ya think?

Show us some more of those Oranges! 🍊

Sounds like you need a vapour barrier between your interior skin and the frame/insulation - bit like a campervan. You'll also need some sort of ventilation then, like breather bricks in modern build houses, or a roof vent to let out the hot damp air.

Nothing beats sitting up the garden, in the evening sunshine, building wheels IMO. Add some chilled tunes and a Thatchers Hazey - sorted.
