Re: Fancy a course on building your own frame in the North W I'm not sure about frequency to be honest, it may just be once a year - you'd need to call for more info. There are only 8 places on the course though. It's certainly a lot cheaper than courses I've seen with commercial frame builders.

Re: Fancy a course on building your own frame in the North W Apologies - now corrected.

For anyone who may be interested, Salford City College are running a 9 week evening course on bike frame building for beginners commencing Thurs 23rd Jan for 9 weeks. It was scheduled to start this evening but having spoken to the guy who's running it, due to some 'no shows' it has now been...

Want to buy or build a beach cruiser so looking of a relatively inexpensive base to start - Schwinn / Huffy style. Depending on what I find I may also need springer forks, mudguards, springer leather saddle & fat 26" tyres. Whaddya got?

As title. Need some forks to raise my girlfriends bike at the front. Looking for 100-120mm, V brake with a minimum of 200mm steerer tube. Currently have a pair of Marzocchi Mars fitted which I'd be happy to trade for good forks such as SIDs (built it as a bit of a weight weenies project)...

Just wondered if anyone going to this at the Lass O'Gowrie pub (nr BBc Oxford Rd) this eve? Only found out about it last night: http://greatnorthernrollers.org/2010/07 ... -july-7pm/

Seat tube measures 57cm (centre to centre) or 61cm (centre to top). Top tube length measures 57cm centre to centre and the handlebar stem is 120cm. I am 6'2" tall with a 33.5" inseam. I would say the frame size is ideal for a rider between 6'0" & 6'3'' tall. The bike is a similar spec to a...

Anybody here riding this 88k Sportive on 5th Oct? In the meantime, could anybody recommend any good road routes for training around the S.Manchester/Altrincham area?

Yes they are around 7mm I'm afraid - very frustrating when you think how many must be languishing at the bottom of toolkits accross th UK!

Does anybody have a pair of V brake bosses for a set of c2002 Manitou Mars forks I have? They seem to be a bit smaller (around 7mm ish) than the normal screw in bosses on most forks. I've tried loads of bike shops but the importers have stopped carrying spares for forks made before 2005...

Tyres Hi Jez Are those a pair of light grey Tioga 1.95 tyres I see? If so and if they are in good condition would you take say £5 each? Thanks Paul
