I like it! Any issues getting the cantis lined up to work on 650b?

Still common on BMX bikes though. The thing I've found with U's and cant'is is that set-up is key if you want decent performance. The main benefit of V-brakes is that they are much easier to set-up and still perform well.

Reminds me a bit of the (much newer) Velo Orange Neutrino. Very cool indeed!

Whatever it is I like it. :cool:

No. There are other forums for that.

Oh dear! Going by her user name I'd have thought someone who rides a Ragley would at least have a bit of a clue! Apparently not!! :LOL:

It's often said there are two types of thieves. Those who know what they are doing and are equipped to do it, and the opportunists. A decent D lock with a cable lock to secure wheels/saddle, and locking it in a busy place will deter the opportunists. Not much will stop the first kind if they...

I always thought this was primarily a mountain bike forum. The road bike section is just a sop to those who ride both!

What a collection! Pretty much every bike entered would be a worthy winner. 🥳

Nice! One of my personal faves as well! Look forward to seeing it come together!

Been watching Paris - Nice on ITV4 and I see Roglic is in the lead. What's folks thoughts on him? His utter domination in last years tour and other races until the massive slump in the TT makes me a bit suspicious! The day he left Bernal for dead and didn't even look like he was trying at all...

Say nothing and delete this thread ASAP so you can deny you ever noticed!

Re: Re: Do you work in conflict resolution and diplomacy? :lol:

If my best friend bought one for me I'd be wondering exactly what it was he was trying to say! :lol: So no, I wouldn't buy one for a friend as I think it would be an insult. Apologies for being silent of late Woz. :oops: I was doing 2 things. I was leaving some space to see if vcballbat...

The bottle's wrong for the TdF bike. Should be a Coke one! :facepalm:

Re: boy"O"boy's 1990 Specialized Stumpjumper Comp. Why would anyone paint an '89 Stumpy to look like a '90 Stumpy? Far more likely is someone has painted a '90 HardRock or Rockhopper to look like a '90 Stumpy. Have you looked at those bikes for something similar? Also just to add...

Just wondering if you have some 'skin in the game' Mr Ballbat?

Frame looks great. How's the fork looking? Wondered if it was a bit far gone for oily rag with the chrome flaking? Looking forward to seeing it come together. 8)

The fact it wasn't made in Britain is probably the least disappointing aspect of the whole story. The Taiwan bike industry can produce anything you want at whatever quality level you are prepared to pay for. I suspect the reason this bike has cheap dropouts, bumpy welds/brazing and out of spec...
