Hi MS They can go on either front or rear - I used (or tried to use) them both as rears - the 2.2's were too wide hence me getting the 1.85's. They look the same so you could use them as a front and rear set but as I recall the tyres did not get decent reviews for use in front. L

Thanks for everybody involved in arranging the outing. It was a great day out, and nice to meet you guys. I would have loved to stay for the BBQ but I just couldn't keep up the macho image - I had to get to the car to break down and cry. Ouch - downhill with a rigid frame & fork... I...

Paid for a stem and received, in a very short spaced of time, a stem as described! :o :D Effortless transaction and friendly - thanks!

Aaargh - I do apologise for any hurt feelings! It was not the intention! Bullpup - I asked my wife to measure my inside leg but she just gave me the suspicious eye and a snort. Can't help you there in terms of comparison. But like the other people on the forum said - you'll probably be...

Hmmm - thats good to know... Maybe I should just trust the Orange a bit more! The 130mm stem was bought yesterday! Hope that the 10mm extra will make all the diffs!

Bullpup I'm 17st and your length. I've got a 21" Clockwork Orange and while the height is perfect the reach is just, just too short. I just feel that bit too cramped on the bike. The Orange is amazingly light and really such a nice bike but I'm scared that I'm too heavy for it (I'm not doing...

Confirmed - I've got a day pass from the missus!! The Bro-in-law would be coming along - not on a retro bike but a steel frame... Where/when will the final arrangements be made? Times, cost, etc?

After the 21" Specialized Hardrock... PM'ed manitou916 and nevadasmith...

Ohhhhhhh - drool. And a free bump.

Re: Garage cleaning...nice stuff Interested if they are 8 speed...

Karma (modern - Sorry) frames Karma frames I've got a modern (2006'ish) 21" Giant Boulder frame and also a (2006'ish) 20" Raleigh hardtail frame available. Neither of the frames did more than 100 km's. Headset and bouncy forks included with both frames (cheap - don't get your hopes up!)...

That puts it nicely in perspective, and seeing that I qualify too I'll pencil the date in. I might even be able to convince the 3rd Reich (aka missus) that I need to buy a bouncy fork and new tyres for this competitive event. The Fat Man will ride again. How far is Borders Hospital...

Hi All, Desperate for a 1" Impact (threaded) headset - if it's only the top part then it's also ok... Actually looking for 2 of them so don't be shy! :D :D Pictures preferred. A fistful of crisp notes waiting for the right candidates...

Fast postage and the items arrived as advertised - well packaged. Thanks!

Stupid, impatient me. Thought that I was good enough to do a rattle can job. Came out ok until I've decided that the paint is dry enough... The paint was NOT dry. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Robmac - thanks for the info. I'll contact the guys as soon as I feel like looking at the frame...

Does anybody know a powder coater who will do a bike frame in the Fife area? I need to get a Stumpy (steel frame) painted - unfortunately my girl ordered a blue and green colour scheme!!! Such a custom job will probably cost an arm and a leg. I've also contemplated a rattle can job but...

Hmm, sure that this was picked up by others already but here are some new postings... http://edinburgh.gumtree.com/edinburgh/24/62677924.html - not retro... http://edinburgh.gumtree.com/edinburgh/33/62673133.html I'm hoping the Marin is still available - I've texted the person selling...

Pm'ed re the shifters and rear mech

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: It's a town with good people, like most Fifers. Luckily I'm such an odd one oot I'm classed as an alien, unlike the unloved foreigners from Dunfermline and, God forbid, Edinburgh. :D :D :D Thanks for the welcome! L
