    is this is a scam?

    Definitely a scam I've seen this before - I saw this exact question, about a virtually identical response to an ad on a guitar forum a while ago. A Google search for 'marine engineer scam' shows it's being used quite a bit.

    Daft PACE question of the day

    Right, this is my best educated guess (I studied Mechanical Engineering at one of the 'Great Universities' mentioned in Blackadder IV, but it didn't begin with an 'O' or a 'C'). On a beam being bent, the stresses are concentrated on the outer surfaces of the beam in the plane of being bent...

    Carbon V Aluminium Rigid Forks

    Masked up, goggled up, taped up and getting shinier. Cheers for the tips guys. Next up though, I too have a new set of alloy forks. They're painted black and, obviously, the frame is going to be polished alloy - to strip or not? They're Kinesis MTB forks, with a disc brake tab which will be...

    GPS/Map Apps for phones

    Carbon V Aluminium Rigid Forks

    Bought one of those kits myself after seeing these results. Definitely worth it, but if you're anything like me you'll end up looking like you've spent a shift down a mine after a couple of hours. And it's a bugger to clean up your eyes - I still looked like I was wearing mascara even after a...

    Altus A10 rear mech

    There's one just gone on UK eBay that looks to be NOS, if not I've got one available for the cost of postage. Came on a project bike, so I can't vouch for how well it works but it's complete.

    Hi, looking for a titanium stem between 120mm and 140mm, 1 1/8 A head for a standard size 25.4mm handlebar. Anyone got anything for under £50? Looking to get titanium handlebars & stem (got some bar ends) on my build at the moment, but nothing seems to be cropping up here or on eBay so thought...
