Hi again, just a little Sunday bump :-)

You jammy git!

I have a PM dibs, so I'll let you know what happens there. Going to check postage costs on Monday so will update. Cheers guys

Last bump before the bin :-) 5 quid plus postage.

Hi I've posted the same question to the BMX lot too, but as I'm usually loitering on the road bike area and having been surprised by the depth of knowledge on here I thought I'd ask you lot too! I am building the bits for my Dawes Kingpin have a question to do with some Alienation Ankle biter...

Hi I'm usually loitering on the road bike area but have a question to do with some Alienation Ankle biter, 20x 1 1/8" 451 rims I've bought. I'm building a folding bike for commuting and light road touring. The Alienation rims apparently have a max rider weight of about 50kgs, as it is designed...

There are two large looking Raleigh 531 bikes on ebay at the moment. The guy selling them is in Derby. This one looks like a big ass 'Royal': http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OLD-CLASSIC-B ... 1099861629

www.campyoldy.co.uk is selling a 14-28 one mate.

Stripped the bike tonight. Wheels are knackered but the SA rear hub is a pretty nice one with nice sounding pawls. The only challenge I can see is that some muppet has tightened the seat post with the post only partly inserted and dented the top of the tube and bnt the QD clamp out of true...

Cheers Meejoir! These Dawes have Standard threads on BB and Headset so upgrading should be easier than a 'Twenty'. TT handlebars and a slightly longer steerer might be in order cos I'm a big bugger :-)

Hi folks Just got back from a jaunt up to Cheshire to pick up a Dawes Kingpin. Been looking for a cheapy one to do up. With the fuel it owes me very little. The wheels are rusty, and I may look to a re-chrome if this is possible. Getting replacement alloys might be tricky, and look wrong in...

Thank you very much guys. The bike build was posted here: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=263574 It's a decent frame with a pants fork :-). Will look about for a proper bike guru considering Shaun's comments. Jon

Good plan! Would you suggest having the old steerer removed and placed on the new forks, or an extention added to the new fork steerer? If a new fork, is the steerer welded or brazed? Cheers for replying! Jon

Ask here: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=46710&start=960 It's what it is there for.

Cheers Steve. The fork I'd like to stick on is a really light (Columbus maybe) and would go a treat on the bike. A new 1" threaded fork with a huge steerer is proving trick to find. The bike is a beast!

Hi folks My Raleigh 3 speed commuter has a fork made out of lead-filled girders I think and transfers vibration up in to my hands like a good'un! I have a lovely Bianchi steel fork but the steerer is too short to just swap over. Is any one on here an engineer/bike mechanic capable of getting...

Bump, and reduced to a tenner plus postage.

You have a PM Adam!

Re: Shimano 11-34 Megarange 7SP FREEWHEEL Yeah, I saw Sunrace, but I'm hankering after the good old stuff. I'm so lazy that the sound of the freewheel is vitally important :-)

Re: Shimano 11-34 Megarange 7SP FREEWHEEL Gutted! :-D
