jota – interesting, what sizes would you suggest? Are you saying that due to risk of the brick/block not being strong enough to take the anchors?

er… it’s an external cavity wall… is that enough?! Hopefully nobody will ever sit on it…

I You want one of those spaceship-esque pizza cooker things that someone off here’s brother makes… Can’t remember the name, just know they look amaze.

Personally I’d go with all black finishing kit, Ultegra to match the frame and I would get tape and seat to match the colour of one of the stripes on the frame as far as possible. I realise that is controversial, but I like a bit of colour and it would all coordinate beautifully. :)

hora – 25mm on top of stem

mf – slam it

hora – 15mm

That kid in the 2nd vid above is quality – he’s definitely got the right idea, get two and ride them at the same time :lol:

Here you go – my seat of choice, Charge Knife, in a fetching brown with ti rails at a truly bargain price… http://www.rutlandcycling.com/280813/products/charge-knife-saddle.aspx

Loads of Flyxii stuff is on Amazon, so in theory you would get UK consumer protection via Amazon as the retailer I assume (though wouldn’t surprise me if they’ve got some sort of grey area technicality to get round that).

Mine’s a Pompetamine for all the uses you specify including childseat, so I’d say that… except they don’t seem to exist anymore…

I noticed the Verenti Transmission on Wiggle the other day, looks interesting…

Just buy KPHC’s frame from the classifieds and get it over with, then you can move on with your life.

bb, I may well now swing by just for a look at that!

Funny because I was only talking to Julian at Condor yesterday and mentioned this thread to him.

Excellent, tell him I’m just down the road and I’ll pop in to pick up my Super Acciaio at lunchtime. :)

Maybe we should just phone condor and point them at this thread and see if they’ll do an STW group discount.

That’s not a bad idea all round – I’m in. :)

Some lessons I’ve taken from this thread:

1. There are a lot of bespoke builders out there making very nice work, many of whom I’d never previously heard of; and

2. Almost without exception those same builders have terrible websites.

hora, I’m doing a 60 mile spin from North London first thing Sunday morning if you fancy it – you can take the carbon one or the aluminium one and see which you prefer if you like :)

I can understand why I’m comfortable in powder. Why do i feel uncomfortable on-piste?

Primarily because snowboarding is much easier in powder than on an icy piste.

Fairdale Parser – good bike, good spec, looks good and good price. Although technically it’s not fixed and has a choice of two gears…

this is what happens if you clip in… beware!

Still holding the bars – I reckon he styles it out and lands it…

What about a willson

You could ask for a discount if they dont use a named sticker on every tube

Not enough stickers to get the name right, though!

Bridge Street bag [/url]of appropriate size – I got one from the Kickstart campaign and it’s excellent.

I may have a few games you can have as well if you’re interested – I was sorting them out last night and they’re probably old enough that they’ll get nothing on ebay. I’ll list them later on, don’t worry if you don’t want them!

I’m done on this thread, i just want to see the final bike shot now.

hora ? final bike…

Anyone know if it takes guards? A colleague may be interested if so…

Excellent, thanks for the input – it’s really helpful.

Or Shhhh …photo shopped…

I think I’d be more impressed if it is photoshopped – depth of field and all the out-of-focus foreground bits in front of the plane all look flawless.

sands – excellent work. :)

Not in an Einherjar?

Reading your post it definitely sounds as though you’ve been done

, to be fair to the mob. AFAIK there haven’t yet been any stonings…

I am north, yep – N8 like you used to be, right? Bad timing!

Thanks for the info about the door, though – that’s encouraging at least. She’ll definitely want to find and try one I imagine – if anyone can help out it would be appreciated. :)

Well we’re pretty sure that the dimensions are ok for the wheelchair, but my wife particularly is nervous about just ordering one without knowing how easy it will be to actually operate the doors and move the chair in and out of the unit. We’re a bit tight for space where it would go, so the end-opening single bike unit looks like a good option provided it is actually usable for her.

Ta – I did ask their online assistant person, and she said they only have them to look at at their Bradford factory… if anyone knows any London-area stockists that would also be useful.

A lot of the places on a Monopoly board are definitely not worth a visit!

I’ve got these on both my road bikes, very nice. For alternative colours, I got mine from Triton Cycles – not £25 but the best price I found when I was looking around for them. Looks like they may have gone up a bit, mind – I think I paid £35 for mine.

I was looking at some stuff online earlier and was reminded of this thread – Flyxii stuff is on Amazon, loads of it on there and you’re going through a UK retailer so presumably get UK Sale of Goods Act protection…

Amazon – Flyxii

Apart from the mildly tricky tapping, all you’re doing is undoing a nut, cutting something and tightening the nut back up. It’s no harder than shortening a gear cable.

It is really incredibly simple. One of the highest differences between expected complication and actual ease of any bike job there is. The hardest part is tapping in the new insert into the cut hose. I grip the hose with pliers and tap it in with a hammer, probably not textbook but I haven’t died yet!

Has anybody seen the Ride 100 facebook page?
I am trying my best not to troll them but it is hard…

Do it – report back :twisted:

It is, congratulations. :D

You may be rethinking your perspective at points over the next few months, probably at around 3 in the morning, but you are definitely right. :)

Our 2nd is due in a month 8O
