That looks mega. Good luck with the sale.

When I build with alloy nipples I always put a drop of wax lube under the shoulder of the nipple which I feed through the inside (closest to hub) edge of the rim eylet once there is a little bit of tension in the spokes.This minimises the friction between the spoke and rim but unlike lubricating...

The coda 900 mtb hub is a hugi (dt 240) in disguise so well worth buying them all at that price!.

Im afraid I need an absolute beast of a steerer as it is for a 22" frame. Thanks for the reply though. I suspect the request may be a bit of a tall order but my fingers are crossed.

Im itching to get my hands on a pair of the elusive 1" pepperoni forks or something similar. I need roughly an 8 1/2" threaded steerer. Any colour is fine, as are chips scrapes and scratches as it will probably be getting a respray anyway. Thanks

Its colne anodising ltd. I dont know if they are game to do small stuff but im told they do frames etc so its worth a call. Chap I spoke to who had his frame done said they were dead nice chaps.

Hi Please can you confirm for me if this is a standard 1" 22.2mm stem or that funny french size of 22mm. Many thanks.

If all else fails pop down to your local bike shop and see if they have any bits of cut down steerer tube from an 1.5" fork in their scrap bin. It fits perfectly.

Is the klein up for sale too ????

He has a pair of syncros forks ending in a couple of days.

Oh dear, I really didnt need to see that frame today. I fear it could plunge me into further financial ruin!
