For some reason I've a small itch for a traditional English sit up and beg roadster but know practically no details about them other than most seem to be 28" wheel. I know some people on here have them, so any info would be appreciated. What era tended to produce the best quality ones (if they...
My brother is looking for a nice, large (to me!) steel frameset. Not so nice it's £1k+ but nice enough and preferably not in desperate need of repainting (although that might not be a dealbreaker) and includes rigid forks. Dainty rather than chunky. Non-rusty!
I don't know a whole lot about...
The bike was shown at Eurobike 2019, I don’t know if it was built as a show bike or it was a customer’s being shown off either way the cabling was a bit messy (that’s being polite). There are pics out there if you want a laugh :)
It is a fillet brazed Columbus frame with a 3T full carbon fork...
Just for something a little different to do. First one done. Slightly awkward depending on the jersey design with the body shape. Thought I'd do top trump style cards too but might change the design of those. Created in Affinity Designer.
Looking for a quality flat(ish) ti handlebar (not Thomson's though) with 9 degree or more of sweep, 31.8mm clamp and 600mm plus width (other than Luv Handles).
Thanks.
They used to be easy to find but the only ones I've found are from the States with a silly amount of shipping. Anyone know of somewhere closer to home (UK)? Thanks.
A 2002 650c Cannondale CAAD 4 R500, upgraded a bit by the previous owner with 160mm Sugino XD2R cranks and Stronglight rings, 46/36, 105 mech (the rest Tiarga) and nicer saddle, looking at the catalog the original was horrible. Photo as it came including the back to front seatpost clamp. 38cm...
I know the Alter's were for 1" steerer but have read that there was what someone called an inverse shim so it would fit 1 1/8". I don't understand how that would work, making a hole larger, any ideas or is it nonsense?
The original one. I think the small frame size was a 19. I don't want to respray so nice condition paint. Green would be good but red would be OK. If it has the original guards that would be good too.
I've seen some older Holdsworth 26'ers that would be very suitable too but don't know much...
I've not come across any quality 44/46cm non-custom frames, did anyone do or currently do them? Nothing too ancient. Most seem to have gone/go down to 48 or 49cm at most but not small enough. I don't trust the modern tig welded stuff after reading about some bad failures (although they were far...
I never got around to finishing it and now never will so £950, Pickup only from Kent. All or nothing, I won't be splitting.
