    1994 Team Marin - sub 20lb :)

    Thought I'd share a few photos from a ride I took today on my 1994 Team Marin. It was just amazing to finally be able to ride this bike. Went for a bit of a ride through some fields, some dirt roads, some tow paths, and a few miles on road. Nice and varied (at least the type of stuff I...

    headtube cable routing issue

    I've been finishing up a 1994 Team Marin build and I'm so excited to almost be able to actually ride it! :) Unfortunately though I've run into another annoying bike problem and this time it's to do with cable routing. The 1994 Team Marin frame has the derailleur cable stops brazed onto the head...

    JIS Crank ISO Spindle. Recipe for disaster?

    Has anyone ever tried using a JIS taper crankset on an ISO tapered bottom bracket? From my research into the actual physical dimensions of ISO and JIS spindles, I think that the two should be pretty interchangeable. If you use a JIS crank on ISO spindle, you need a spindle size about 4-4.5mm...

    Rockbros Ti spindle pedals £13 170g, CNC seatpost £7 207g

    Just came across some titanium spindle pedals made by Rockbros, which are just insanely cheap (£13, normally £25+ on ebay). They are on aliexpress.com so this means they will take 3 weeks from China. I think the titanium spindle could even be removed to use on another pair of pedals. The pedals...

    Carrera Quatro Comp - Mostly XT components £50

    Just saw this. I think it's all original. Don't think they are particularly common and has XT everything apart from the crankset. Seatpost is stuck though. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231620547722? ... EBIDX%3AIT

    Anyone ever tried machining their own titanium parts?

    I've been looking for a really long titanium stem bolt for a quill stem (m6x150mm) and they are so expensive/hard to find. This got me thinking back to my school design+technology classes when we tapped threads onto a steel rod using a tap and dye set or a lathe. I found that you can buy a grade...
