Rather than dither and wait for something lighter to come up I should probably just stop using the weight as a reason to procrastinate: buy the berthoud fenders… the bar, stem, grips I want… and man up for those hills.

Re: Anyone prepared to weigh thier large frame real life example? (preferably a few people)

I'd like to see some pics!

Having looked at some weights in marin/kona catalogues it looks like bikes lost 2kg from early to mid 90s. Since there seemes to be a large fan base for early muddy fox (and I like flouro green) I got a 1990 courier comp. 20" frame. I liked the fox until I decided to weigh it. I can't...

Hmmm... I'm not sure why I was thinking that Exage was the same level as Deore just an earlier name. That is disapointing. I'm glad I know. Need to check the components catalogues on here i guess. So i don't end up down cycling by accident. Local LBS has offered to have a look through thier...

Re: Festive Frolics 2014 - Sunday 28th December 11am Glentress I can't find Janets Brae on google maps. Could you post a marker? Took the Boys to GT the other week only to find that there was no access to the Buzzards nest car park... What frame size? What condition? and what is cheap?

Re: Thanks, for the info. Play is more like 5-8mm. A lot more than the lower pulley. Will some crappy sis do it? I dont want really want to canibalize a another decent working mech.

Re: Carlton bargain in Edinburgh Grrrrr. Tried to contact via gumtree. No reply. :( I bid the starting price lest i forget to set up the sniper… only to have my bid canceled. :evil: So i thought: sold it on gumtree… Now it's back as a buy it now for £250 :shock:

Re: Thanks

Sounds like a great trip! That gently sloping railway track section sounds Ideal for taking my Children. Would you be so kind and point out on google maps? Thanks

I need a new top jokey pully (excessive sideways play) and new spring adjusting B-tension (there is no effect when adjusting the screw). Anywhere I can get new old stock? Or which readily available spares for more modern mechs will do the trick.

Re: Sorry, I don't mean to patronise. Maybe you missunderstand what a snipe tool does? Or even Ebay? If the bid is at £30 it means that there is only 1 bid potentially higer than £30 at present. Not that the maximum amount anyone has bid is £30. If you bid regularly with your maximum or £46...

Start using a snipe tool! Most of them are free unless you do silly amounts of bidding! The bidding process (from a buyers perspective anywway) is flawed. Why is it that the fist bid ineveitably ends up atrracting more bids even if its something that has been relisted 3 times and nobody...

Carlton bargain in Edinburgh Quick someone snap this up. http://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/carlt ... 1089660288 I could kick myself i did not see this on Gumtree (I'm/was watching it on ebay with view to having a snipe if it does not go much above the £45 starting price) , been to Edinburgh...

Another conversion Another Islabike cnoc conversion http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthre ... p=72979256 Not mine, just one I came across when looking for information on the subject.

Very neat! I don't have a need for this at this time but I will probably do such a conversion for my daughter in a couple of years time. Out of interest what is the exact modle of the hub you used? As one of the main factors why people chose islabikes is weight: How much weight did this add...

Saw this yesterday, not time to post it or drive up to Edinburgh to have a look. Now of course already gone…
