    Helicopter tape?

    Or similar product. Does anyone have any experience with this stuff or what do you use? Is it soft and easily pliable around curves and bumps or quite stiff? Ive seen the price of the 3M tape which seems pretty bloney expensive. There must be a non brand named version which will do a similar...

    Furthest distance you would travel ...

    Ive done a stupid diversion to collect a single rim (wheel, but only wanted the rim), which the seller wasn't willing to post. Was supposed to be driving from Crawley to Portsmouth, ended up going via Oxford. An extra 110 miles and 2 hours driving to collect a £45 rim. Ended up sleeping in the...

    8 speed, to fit on a shimano spline, but looking for anything other than steel. Trying not to be fussy about brand.

    Period correct rims

    Thanks for all the suggestions, have plenty of options to look at. I did have a look to see what the original spec would have been, but was only available as a bare frame and forks, so I can choose anything.

    Period correct rims

    Yeah, American, not feeling the love for this build. Bit of a detour from my normal type of build. It might grow on me. Previous builds have all been for riding, but this one might stay in the shed. Are the matrix rims 32 hole? Hopefully you’ve still got a couple of bits aside for me.

    Period correct rims

    What would be a period correct rim to use with Deore DX hubs on an American bike? I seem to be stuck in a rut of just using Mavic 217's on everything. Not wanting to chase rare exotic rims for this build

    So......... I have this itch......

    My fetish has traditionally been a mix of aluminium or carbon bikes from small scale manufacturers, but i have really been getting the hankering for a good ol' bit of British steel recently. Im thinking that an Orange prestige / Clokwork would be the obvious choice and always admired them...

    Scanning and 3D printing impossible to find vintage parts

    The best bet would be to use an intact hood to create a mold rather than scan it. Then use the mold to cast a silicone or rubber part. There is someone on here that is doing this for Onza porcipaw grips and other plastic parts, but i can remember their name.

    Bolt for bb cable guide?

    Gwr fasteners on eBay. Coloured alloy or coloured stainless steel. Probably button head Allen will be fine. Massive choice of sizes and will ship tiny orders of single bolts (or maybe 5 packs depending on bolts)
