    Confused over M739 Front Derailleur

    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.

    Chronic Fatigue - Taking bets!

    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.

    Chronic Fatigue - Taking bets!

    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!

    Chronic Fatigue - Taking bets!

    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...

    1996 Gary Fisher Procaliber

    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) :)

    Khs Lightweight on a budget

    WOOOOoooooo... Weightweenie! Everything. Just obsess about everything. BB and cranks = hunk of weight. Seatpost & Stem. What shifters/brakes. FYI, Shimano is rarely the lightest.

    MBS mountain board.

    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.

    British Eagle Pro Carbon

    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.
