Re: Day Four. Not a great day. I phoned in, reluctantly, apologising because I was really not feeling very well. I went back to bed feeling poorly and also feeling like I was missing out and had things to do. I took a few things to try and sort out my malade, tried to get some sleep and finally...

Re: Day two consisted of more filing and brazing. Its fair to say it was a pretty uneventful day, albeit I really enjoyed just carrying on creating a frame. At the end of day two, the front triangle was in place and the bottom bracket tacked to all the tubes (BB would be brazed last) and I'd...

After seeing the framebuilding thread (and really nice frame) by makster (here: viewtopic.php?f=41&t=297169) It reminded me that yet again, I had promised myself to build my own bike, but hadn't done anything about it. So seeing Maksters thread, obviously, I forgot about that (again) and went on...

Re: Re: Indeed cos I'd have fought you to the death for them wheels ;)

Re: Can't go anywhere it seems.... Walked into Velo cafe determined to only spend money on coffee and within 2 minutes had some m900 / Mavic D231 wheels magneted to my hands. Bloke walked up to me, handed them to me and said 'You'll want these'. I guess he was right. :facepalm:

Re: Can I just dibs on it now please... you know, just in case... ;) Yes more pics please. looks lovely.

Re: Another one tomorrow at Velo Cafe. Will probably go and have a look but not selling anything this time - but I do need to sell some stuff (probably december) as I have an impending frame delivery. :facepalm:

Re: Re: Hi, Thanks, sent you a PM :)

Re: *ahem*

I don't think its much different to the last one, I think that was rated at 1100m I think its a category thing so might not be precise. Or, you are concerned as you are planning on a lot of pie consumption?

Re: Good luck and enjoy it :)

Hi All, On our last Audax Jaunt, we were advised this event would be worth looking out for: http://www.aukweb.net/events/detail/14-186/ Apparently, the event is held on a loop around Petworth and has a village hall with plenty of food available - certainly if the last event was anything to go...

Re: It sounds like its booking up quickly, so if interested, get signed up!

Re: WTD: Orange Bars, seatpost, Silver rims on 8sp hubs? Sounds great, thanks, as stated I will probably convert to single speed hence it seems easier to get converters for 8/9 spd freehubs

Re: Typically the differences are small but things like: Short as possible wheelbase: back and front wheels tucked into frame as far as possible - 'track like' fork rake, vertical rear dropouts or track dropouts as you are not really going to be adjusting wheel fit as your bestest tyres are...

Re: BUMP, still after wheels, seatpost, thanks :)

Re: It sounds great, I'm guessing you were in the 200+ miles per day range for that? What sort of time did you sleep for? Doing it again / others? (sorry for all the Q's) :)

http://www.velo-cafe.co.uk/location/ Its about 1/2 mile inland from the Pier / seafront. Depends on what biking you want really? there are a few bike shops nearby. If you are riding, there is Stanmer Park 4 miles away (Where they run the Brighton BigDog MTB race) or a few road loops around...

Re: A seriously nice bunch down there, which reminds me, I think I owe them for a cake from this morning! Matt has also been really good sorting some of my bikes for me. Long may it last!

Re: Re: its only 5 quid when you go and ask for the second slice...
