Re: I had thought that, but didn't the Multicross have a fatter downtube? The closest I can find online is the City Cross, which seems to only exist on one Bikeradar review. It's got the right fork... Literally the only picture I can find online of this one is (worryingly) one where...

Just bought this. What is it?

Re: Where are you based?

Re: I could certainly be tempted for Mrs Optix. What's the free tablet? Are you sure you didn't find it in a skip...?

Forks look bent/crashed though.

Just been to Cash Converters in Southmead and there's a Trek 830 Antelope for 24 pounds. Looks like it has an Exage 500 groupset, Tioga bar ends. It's undeniably tatty, but probably worth it for the parts?

Re: Think I've worked it out, if it's the 5th generation (A1408) I'll take it please :) PM me your PayPal details.

Re: My other options, I suppose, are... * buy a decent turntable which will take the SME arm and junk the BD1 * use the PDX as a base to make a turntable, which would be more robust and newer than the BD1, but I think I'd have to modify the platter to get rid of resonance and I don't know if...

Build your own turntable? This seems as good a place as any to ask this question... I've just picked up what I think is a bit of a bargain, an SME Improved tonearm (I think it isn't quite as good as the Unimproved one but still very good). It's in good nick and came with the cabling, weight...

Re: Splendid! :)
