    Who's the goto frame painter these days?

    They do come up fairly regularly (and I’m not even looking for one). If you trying to keep it cheaper. I’d go for a powder , add decals yourself , and then bribe a local car painter to flick some lacquer over it.

    Who's the goto frame painter these days?

    You’ll struggle to find anyone to lacquer over powder unless it’s a clear powder but then that creates issues with decals and heat. Are you using water slide or vinyl decals? Or do what I did on my Dekerf and go painted decals? Any wet painter is going to be closer to £300. I still think...

    Who's the goto frame painter these days?

    Powder is usually sub £100 and has come on massively. Are you wanting powder or wet paint? Issue is likely that you will be able to buy a nice condition Kula frame for half what a paint job costs so unless your emotionally attached ……

    Who's the goto frame painter these days?

    I’ve found that all the main painters are all the same money thereabouts. What sort of money are you wanting to spend ?

    ebay found a new way to screw with buyers

    I’ve also got a separate bank account for eBay purely because I didn’t want the details leaked and have the hassle of trying to recover a larger sum. However at least a bank account is easy to cancel and set up. Your NI is unique and the gateway for an easy scam. Makes you wonder why they...

    ebay found a new way to screw with buyers

    I haven’t decided yet if I’m playing their game yet. I’ve got a separate business account anyway. This is just personal crap. It’s also confusing as they report for calendar years but HMRC work on tax years.

    ebay found a new way to screw with buyers

    Yeh I’ve pulled the last few items off now. Only had a few old childhood toys listed so makes little difference. No point selling if they will restrict payouts (I guess this will be the tactic) It’s suggested online that not providing the NI will shoot you to the most wanted list for not...

    ebay found a new way to screw with buyers

    EBay now asking for my NI number for my personal account. Aside from the fact I’m not confident that EBay isn’t gonna have a massive data breach at some point for this info , it annoys me slightly that it puts you on the radar for HMRC no doubt ( which nobody wants) and likely another column /...

    1992 GT Psyclone frame 18" on eBay

    Limited numbers sold. Even rarer to find for sale. If it was in decent condition (not mint) his price would be correct at £600-800. Basically same as a Xizang

    M569 / M739 outer chainring problem

    I usually put the tool in the vice and then turn the crank. As they tend to be tight.

    1992 GT Psyclone frame 18" on eBay

    On the flip side. At least it’s had a life , that’s well used rather than hung on a wall. If it was reasonably priced and more local I’d take a look. It would be a great project but it’s triple what I think it’s worth.

    1992 GT Psyclone frame 18" on eBay

    If it was correctly priced it would have easily sold since they come up so rarely. So many questions ….. BB stuck….. Seat tube cracked or just paint …… mech hanger bolt …… At minimum it needs a repaint. Max is that it’s almost scrap.

    M569 / M739 outer chainring problem

    Do you mean for the spider castle nut? If so I’ve got one I can picture later or you are welcome to come borrow if around my way (Assuming it’s same as XTR / XT ones which I’m sure it is)

    Innovations that are no more but maybe still should be

    Personally I think square tapers were a terrible idea. Yes the BB on modern outboard don’t last so long but they are cheap. Internal routing isn’t bad as long as you are are running electric gears. Looks much cleaner and once done , you don’t need to remove that often as brakes can be bled...
