there are 2 sections of the outer plate - the inner section (the bent in part on the front half of the lower edge) needs to be parrallel with the chainrings, not the flat outer section.
I have no idea if anyone here may be interested in these?
Morel Virtus 602 6.5" speakers, crossovers and tweeters. In great condition.
Basically half of what you'd pay new; £250.
Thanks all. Picked up a bunch of insulin & monitors etc this morning.
Greencat, you have my sympathy - Crohn's is an awful condition, and totally invisible to the world too.
Thanks Greencat.
The collectomy was due to ulcerative colitis as a teenager - lots of steroids and other nasty drugs for years. It's an autoimmune disease, as is diabetes, so I'm almost not surprised!
Well, That escalated quickly.
B12 and D3 levels are now 'normal'...
Buuuut... I wasn't feeling much better, and I've lost a load of weight since christmas. So I saw the doctor yesterday. And then again today., and had a phone call this afternoon; They think I've spontaneously developed Type 1...
Not mine, but looks really good for the money.

Sweet frame.
Set a target weight that you want and are happy with and go for it :) I found that EVERYTHING had to be taken into consideration, and took a fair amount of time and £££, but I overshot somewhat (front Sus & maguras) :)
WOOOOoooooo... Weightweenie!
Everything. Just obsess about everything.
BB and cranks = hunk of weight.
Seatpost & Stem.
What shifters/brakes.
FYI, Shimano is rarely the lightest.
Also had fun on these 15 yrs ago. There was a hill in surrey that we used to go to, as well as being nearly killed a number of times under traction kites.
No brakes, so practice powerslides early! Lower tyre pressures = slower.
If it's the one I'm thinking of, I had one, it was made by Alan. unless you have any specific concerns, there are plenty of us riding bonded frames from the 90s.
Any cracks/squeaks/creaks? if not, and it's in generally good condition, go for it.
Thanks Velofrog.
I Kinda don't sell them; That's an 80th birthday present (1944). Taking payment for a hobby makes it work :) I may have to sell off a few in the future, as I have a few stacking up.
