It's definitely best to measure things yourself rather than rely on other people having done it properly or that things haven't changed since they did but the Leonard spoke calc reckons the mavic is 541mm and SJS say the Andra 40 is 541mm too so spokes should be the same as you say.

Why not use a rocker?

Interested to hear that you prefer Montana to spray.bike. I use Montana and you have to use it a bit different to cheap rattle can, spraying closer to the frame so that it lands wet. I always presumed the negative reviews of spray.bike were because people didn’t know to spray from closer but...

Think it must have been early 2019 that I got my oxy propane kit and built my first frame, the Giraffe is no14. I'd done some small modifications with mapp prior to getting the oxy propane kit and now I've chopped and reworked more than I've built.

Thanks! Yeah, I couldn't remember it feeling overly weakened when I cold set it after doing the modification and just to be sure I gave it a little squeeze and pull just by hand this morning and I honestly cant say that the deflection was anything out of the ordinary. I might braze in some...

I am The Vandal Metalworks.

Woo I made it to the thread!

Looking for a fork crown that either takes, or comes with a 1" steerer. It needs to be one with removable legs and my preference would be for a steel steerer as I can extend that. Rockshox Mag would work, Indy will not as fork legs aren't removable. Think there's some Quadras with removable...

Hi all, I'm looking for a front hub with wingnuts for a project I'm doing. I haven't bought the rim yet so 32 or 36h would work. Cheers, Ande.

Need to figure out what’s bent first, could be the legs or equally could be the steerer.

Fair comments. I always tend to use Jagwire compression stuff so yeah, barely perceptible I’d say.

Possibly more likely to get £40 for a frame that you can post than a low spec bike with knackered fork that you want someone to collect.

Not a very faithful homage…there’s no cracks in it!

Why not just run a full length outer for the brake?

Yeah, to be fair since posting that I’ve picked up a few bargains. Rock Shox Yari Fork £138 POC helmet £28 Shimano 3speed disc hub £22

It’s too cold to ride today (and my legs are done after yesterday) so finished this up instead.

Took my wee Raleigh on a big adventure yesterday.

Nah, I have a little snowflake laced coaster brake wheel that’ll go on the rear. I’ve brazed a tab on for the torque arm.

Got some work done on my other mini velo today, just cleaning up the rust from the flux soak, excess silver and brass and then lacquering. Build coming soon, I think I have all I need for it.

Don’t bother with fancy after market ones, the Brommy plastic one outperforms them. Except the Eerder Metaal one.
