I only realised recently that the Emmelle name came from the M and L in Moore & Large. Genius. I am a bit slow on the uptake.

Owned two pairs of those red cranks. Reckon AC could better stand for "are cheese".

Having a big clear out. Seem to have about 40 Kinlin TB20 tubular rim brake rims lurking in the following drillings: 20h x 8 24h x 21 28h x 6 32h x 5 They are polished black with a machined sidewall and weigh around 430g. Nice stiff rims made with Kinlin's proprietary, very durable alloy...

Beautiful work there - I like your fusion of design ideas and the execution looks top notch. I ran my own furniture making business for fifteen years. It's hard work. I gave up to become a wheel builder - much less chance of planing your hand off! Here is my latest woodwork creation. Very much...

USE Evo posts are lighter (sub 160g) and plenty strong for my heft on my gravel bike. I used to work at a place where the owner was obsessed with producing really light bikes for customers - many of parts came back cracked (Scmolke, Extralite etc).

Thank you. The yellow really pops in real life. I know it was quite a tricky fade to get right because it was powder coated rather than sprayed. I think realistically a few weeks, but Jon works on his own and has caring duties so be willing to be flexible and patient. He's added braze-ons to...

Thank you. I don't know what it is about my body shape but I often struggle to get the bar as low as I want. I find many modern bikes have too tall a front end for my liking. So I prefer a short head tube and then add a spacer or tinker with the stem if I need to. It also gives me more top tube...

Got some NOS 28h here at work. We might have 32h as well. Will take a look later. £250 posted. Thanks Rich

One bike to do everything. You'll see a long and low theme developing here. Called it the CXR - Chickens Cross Road.

Thank you. The powder is tough as old boots. Jon's made a couple of frames for me and they're both great. He's meticulous, skilled, thoughtful and helpful. Treat him with respect and you'll get a super frame. He built a cross frame for me recently. Lots of nice touches such as hidden mudguard...

Been enjoying mine a lot recently. It's a great ride. I think I'm sort of in between sizes though. This has a 55cm top tube and I wish it was just a touch shorter.

Lovely. I bet that's a beautiful ride.

Storage rack made from ply, straight pull spokes and old Yeti grips.

Orbea Arama Travel. The alloy frame, which is the only original bit left, is about 20 years old. It's quite a heavy bike but is surprisingly fast. I've got 7kg race bikes that feel sluggish in comparison. Maybe it's just familiarity.

If it was Al Pace-ino it would have cracked by now.

I don't like wet weather. I don't want to be eaten by a bear. I don't like my wheels to leave the ground. I can't in any seriousness use words such as stoked or gnar. What does PNW mean to me? Probably Not Worth (it). Have a nice day everyone, whatever you do with your bicycle.

Maybe it's the Rishi effect that has made them a bargain. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/politics/2024/apr/10/im-a-longtime-devotee-rishi-sunak-apologises-for-wearing-adidas-samba-trainers

Good to know they saved money by downgrading the materials they use, rather than skimping on labour standards in authoritarian countries.

Sorry, only just seen your reply. The big stickers are not outline - they have white centres. Drop me a message if you'd like some or all of them. Thanks Rich

Lovely details on that frame. Looking much better with the flat bar.
