Cottered cranks can be wonky on the spindle, sometimes caused by poor alignment or size/cut of the cotterpin. Take it all apart and reassemble it with new cotters. There are 3 sizes of pin, and the depth of cut can vary too. Google yourself up to speed or pay someone who's already there. But...

BotM! Not only is that blessed with a magnificent name, both Hubris and Double Entendre, but ... look at that groupset, and accessorisation, ye mighty, and despair! @sheppf1000 can you extend the gift of retrobike membership to this magnificent gentleman (it's not a ladies bike after all is...

The 440 is extremely capable🤠 20" bar normally, 30 if I'm in amongst the big boys, although that's pushing it in terms of power output and manageability. I'm not happy dealing with a trunk that's wider than my bar is long, so to speak. 🤔 Hence the large tool... I've got a ripping bar and...

My question was in all human history - bikes won the Times poll of 20thC.

Can't claim alcoholic beverages - wasps and many other animals have been getting pi55ed up for millions of years!

At least the large sprocket doesn't need replacing😃 Many owners mistake cut down teeth (for indexed shifting) for wear or damage.

😉

The road is lo-o-ooooong..... With many a winding turn That leads us who knows where...

Surely we all know the bicycle is an incredible thing. In the Sunday Times poll (for new year edition y2k) of the greatest inventions of the 20th century, the bike polled 30% of the vote - streets ahead of anything else. What else would you include? I'm not sure Antibiotics count as an...

If you want to invade in a "non-threatening" manner, this is the tank for you👍

Dawn Redwood - a deciduous conifer, first found in the fossil record, later rediscovered in remote China in the 20thC😃

An invitation to a stihl-waggling competition😃 My ms440, slightly more powerful than my 1st motorbike😍 Keeping a p7 company. I wouldn't wave it near roots though, I have already discovered how long it takes to resharpen a 30" chain after catching a stone or even grown-over fencing wire😭

Go too light with steel though and the ride gets noodly, unless you're a whippet.

I bet you are stoked with the hoops on your rig, dude😉

Sunset spin - minty's decals popping

Paint is middling at best Precisa fork could cost £200 - so frame in that condition 350-400? Most of that groupset you'd struggle to sell atm. Those bonded alloy Forks were quite common, not worth a lot. It looks a lot like a similar bike that would be worth £1200 plus - I think I spent a bit...

Cool name, cool looking bar, but I struggle to imagine they are suitable for anything other than a ride down the cafe chatting and laughing with friends. No use to me obvs😉

Those octalinks supported the fatter tyre at the expense of chainline. It seems worse if fitted on early mtbs - shorter chainstays increasing the angle perhaps? Often you have to fit all the spacers on the nds if using ht2 on 90s mtbs, and sometimes that's not enough.

Might need a longer bb to clear the stay and the tyre otherwise square taper is much more adaptable road/mtb than modern ht2 and similar

If that setup was working on one 68/135 bike (same 28.6 seattube?) Then it will work the same on the other... although... You might find that the drive side bb axle projection on the 107 and 113 are the same, so the only change would be crank/stay clearance on the NDS. Alloy frames have fatter...
