"Sturmey 4-speed" "Working properly"🤔

My rule of thumb is you spend 3x what the frameset cost total, to get a bike built up to a certain quality point So if frame only is 650, 150 fork if you're not choosy, £2400 suggested total build price. I don't think most people would describe that as in the "affordable" bracket, or as a...

Imagine riding the tour de France in 1965 without toeclips

It's great to see riders get the parts of this unloved bike out onto the trails again.😃 I'm hoping to start work on the frame soon🤞

Looks like the article has moved here: https://dirtmountainbike.com/bike-reviews/handlebars-saddles/the-15-worst-mountain-bike-products-ever To read each section, i had to cut and paste the text into a notepad. It comes across as the smug matey blather of the...

Ah the crud claw We all had one. Hard to believe it actually did sweet FA. But it did exactly that. Legendarily😂 Grab one now while stocks last!

Cash converters asks for ID, so if the seller doesn't care... Vendor shows passport. Under occupation: "Thief"

Tina and I riding in spring woodland near home, felt like we used to do in Normandy and Brittany before the kids came along. We are in Pen-y-Fan, Remembering La Suisse Normande La Foret de Broceliande

Front loading is popular in flat countries, rear loading in hilly ones. Bicycle geometry has an effect too.

Interestingly, rust seems attracted to a single weak point - my petrol tank had several rust holes, but once id cut it open to look, the rest of the interior was almost perfect. Consequently you could drill the hole back to good metal, probably just a few mm, braze in a tiny patch, treat...

You need to ask the PO directly. Handling stolen goods is a crime. If it's stolen, there are a variety of ways forward that means the thief will lose out and maybe even get busted.

I'll have a word with them. They should have refused😉

Centre of gravity also affects balance. Traditional tourers would put heavy items at the bottom of the panniers and mount the panniers low on the bike.

You can buy it anyway, then arrange the 10 days time - if he's got the money, it's usually ok. I'd guess it's a 'Dale. Got an Argos repaint sticker, so they could identify it. Foul colour scheme, or is that just me?

Tektro or shimano. 47-57mm should do it on a kinesis - you could measure the drop -centre of brake bolt to centre of rim Tektro offer a couple of qualities and colours, shimano its the R451. We keep those in stock it's such a common requirement, and an excellent brake. I'm not sure black is...

Almost all frames were lugged before Welded Frame Construction mass-production in the 80s-90s. Any non-lugged frame much earlier than that in the uk would probably be something special.

And the glued in sleeve ends up flush with where the top of the frame used to be, so it looks natural👍

Planet x were prone to double-entendre, or just rude names From their own brand On One: The Pompino for example. Far from the first to do it, as we have seen, But it all looks a bit "muddy fox girls" to me, makes the brand feel cheap and juvenile.

Nearly always inch equivalents. Of course the epoxy has fantastic gap-filling properties, so it can be smaller. Nearly 30mm you could use 1&1/8"od, 1"id, with 28.6 seat collar👍
