Re: I now find that the bb cups are also 26 tpi thread. None of the lbs's have anything.

Has any one got a head set 26tpi I am struggling to find one.

Re: Cheers guys. Very helpful. i have gone for a cream colour.

Re: The frame and forks are now being powder coated. New head bearings sourced. Just looking at stripping the rear wheel and freewheel to find that someone has had a go at undoing the freewheel with a hammer and brick. Time for a bit of grinding and off to purchase the proper tool.

Re: Thank you all. I shall keep the nuts on and use my big drift to keep away from the frame and crank. I have also been chatting to our local platers today, not as straight forward as I first thought. After being dipped the frame needs prepping. I told them that I would do that. Any body...

Re: How do I remove cotter pins?

Re: I bought a chain stay protection decal from therealjaxon for my GT RTS2. It looks great, thank you for the quick delivery.

I stripped the simplex down at work today and found that a jockey wheel had been damaged. Luckily I live 5mins away from Mercian's shop.

The picture I posted fisrt was one that I found online. I couldn't retrieve the one from ebay. yes someone has had to much fun with a paint can.

Re: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gmq1iirapbazu ... 130031.jpg here is the stripped frame and forks. I think someone has tried to do a paint job on her.

Re: The steering was very notchy. So I have stripped it down and the bearings look fine. the cups do look at first glance to be worn. I have bought the simplechromed work so that I can give it a bath in our chem cleaner, and i am going to find out about getting the frame dipped and re chromed

Re: Picked up the cobra today a little more scruffy than the picture shows. The frame number is 7022975. Where can I get head bearing cups from? Would it be wrong to turn it in to a 10 speed.
