1996 GT Team LTS - Update 02.02.11

The crack's not gone through has it?

Just use them, I had a set of cranks with a crack like that and they lasted for years with no further cracking until I replaced them...

Yep it has - had another look last night and one of the cracks has gone about 5mm into the taper. I'd rather not risk it.

On the plus side, I've just been offered the exact same non-drive side arm (and it's anodised red too so the logos will match once it's been stripped and polished), and it's not cracked. So I'm happy again :)
 
To those of you who may have seen the frame up for sale, I've now decided to keep it and get on with the build because I'd be gutted to see it go now it's so close to being complete!

Here are a few more pics. Forks arrived the other day and look lovely with the bike. Just need a few more bits now and she's done :)

I'm at the most frustrating part of the build now - I've got most of it together but don't have the money to get the little bits that I need!

I was going to try to build the wheels myself but I can't get the right spoke measurements to save my life. I think I'll leave it to the professionals or maybe I'll ask very nicely for someone on here to do it for me ;)
 
I know the feeling, I just need some pedals but i've spent my bike spends for this month now.

Got paid Monday :cry:

That sounds exactly like my situation! I can only afford to buy one or two little things on Payday, and that's it. After that I've got no hope and it's another month wait until I can spend again :( :(
