Thanks. She does have a younger brother, but he's only 3 so still a little short for that one. If I wasn't so skint I would seriously be considering it as a future bike for him though.

Bit of a thread resurrection. But here is the (work in progress) finished article. Just a year late, and just about build in time for my daughter's 10th birthday. The "to do" list: Swap out the tyres, I fitted my slicks to get it finished. Keep an eye out for a nicer set of V's...

I thought it was at the same place every year :?: It's looking more and more likely I'll be needing an operation on my elbow, so it's very unlikely I'll be in a position to ride, but I always read the threads wishing I was there. If dates align etc I'd be happy to act as a...

Rubbish phone picture, but here you go.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it. I agree an ahead set up gives you more options, and you could carry the scheme over to the stem. I thought about doing something similar with the GT frame I got for my daughter. She wanted pink or purple and I planned on trying the...

:shock: Someone painted over the factory colour scheme. Were they blind? Looks like a ice challenge to have though.

How about using a syringe? One of those large ones like a disk brake bleed size. Fill with (may need thinning slightly) paint, and squirt from a distance whilst waggling it about. Just thinking out loud.

Hmm, you've got me thinking now.......... Bear in mind the bike will probably do 10 miles a year max and I will be keeping a close eye on it (let's face it, it's an excuse to spend time in the garage "inspecting" the bikes :lol: )

Thought as much :roll: I've seen the quill adapters, just thought as it needs a new headset anyway this would be a neater solution. ne'mind.

Silly question here, but I need a short stem for my daughter's bike. A thought I had was, that as it needs a new headset anyway, could I fit a low stack headset and use a short ahead type stem on the threaded section that would be showing?

SOLD I've received an offer from another RBer

Here is my D50 kit. I'm not using it, so selling to fund bikes :D Looking to get £150 but running with no reserve. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271094643843? ... 1558.l2649

Just coming back to this one for those interested. I used Ultimate Finish on the Westminster trading estate in Lincoln. £45 for frame and forks. The finish is pretty good, and certainly good enough for the vast majority of "not a full on to the final detail resto" bikes. Went for a...

Anyone had issues with their Sintered pads? I fitted some to my Elixir 3's and had really bad noise and vibration on the big long road descents on my C2C ride last week. I think maybe I should have decided on Kevlar's rather than the sintered.

Missed out to the tune of 15 likes in the end :( better luck next time ey.

Damn, 9 behind now with just 1 day to go. Any help appreciated :lol:

Yep, ahead by 1 vote currently with only 2 days to go...fingers crossed :D

Nice-one, cheers.

A quick bump for the last few days of July. We're second, but by a good 20+ votes, so any help will be appreciated. Cheers
