Sorry guys I've just got my email address working again, after a glitch in November last year, & just discovered the email from RB today! Well, I just try to 'upload' a 475KB photo as an attachment... I tried the link from this RB thread above & it works for me...

Got this rare-ish frame/forks earlier this year & have built it up with Campag Veloce/Chorus components. Has a Columbus Genius frame which is quite light & impressive: ) Would have added an image, but I've given up after many fruitless attempts. First my pic was too big. Then, when I reduce...

Dave Marsh bikes are always cool IMHO. Look after it: ) I got a 1988ish DM TT bike which I treasure. Pics here on my website, http://bicyclz.com/dave-marsh/ because Photobucket is causing problems worldwide currently.

It's not about PPs commissions for me, but the connections & rights they have to your bank account when you sign up!! The dodgy ebay sellers are a minor issue in comparison. Caveat emptor as always.

Well, I appreciate what you say both, thanks for your warnings, but every transaction on ebay exchanges personal details. Do we use it or not? I'm not the biggest fan of ebay, but it has its advantages, being a virtual world wide monopoly. In my opinion Paypal is much more scary than ebay...

I just made an offer of 99p; ) Its just a laugh innit?

Viscount here! @Bikey Andy. Haven't looked at the thread for ages. Sorry: ) I always keep good photographic records of all my bikes & if I have the SNs, whatever, I'll look & see what I have... I know a good bit of history about mine. I just looked & Serial No. 4791 on BB, repeated on...

Thanks for comments. Well I do like the Panaracers, but tyres are easily changed, & I could also modify the colour. It'll likely get a cotterless BB in order to use an alloy chain-wheel & a lighter saddle It's weighing in at 28lbs currently! I'm building it for a family member who wants a...

Just prepping my 1955 RE Superlight before it gets a repaint. Winter project & I'm looking for opinions/suggestions before I go ahead. Frame was originally a pale flamboyant green in roughish condition, but I painted it (rattlecan) black to see how it would look. Just built it up with...

Couple of items I listed yesterday, which may be of interest here. The stem is a Noname, but came from an interesting early/mid fifties Rory O'Brien road bike. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122078042559? ... 1555.l2649 The Track forks are Italian built, with Campag Ends + Cinelli crown. Great, if...

I think all RE m/c owners should have a Royal Enfield bicycle: ) Very nice Interceptor!

Buy one & see: ) Seriously, they are not to be compared with your average 20" wheeler. Do not compare them with Raleigh 20s, Dawes Kingpins, etc. The Ebay Rev at Grantham is too far for me in Gloucester, but I'd be on its case if I were closer. They are rare as dentures in hens.... Forget the...

Now reverted to 700s, with guards that fit properly. More pics soonish!

Re: Re: 27" tyres are a PITA when it comes to choices IMHO. I'm reverting to 700s soon for that reason. (+ more guard clearances) I was just experimenting with the possibilities above: ) A tourer needs more than smooth skinnies for practical use as a distance load carrier.

I'm quite happy DMs are not 'known'. Much cheaper to buy that way, for the cognoscenti; ) A bit like Viscounts with their "Death Fork Syndrome". Puts lots of people off, & keeps prices low when you buy.... Maybe we should have a dedicated Dave Marsh thread here on RB to showcase them a...

All my bikes are ridden regularly, & isn't it cool to experiment? I've just 'finished' fitting some mudguards to it after several days butchering, but have yet to try it in anger.... Almost impossible clearances at the front!! Photos anon... I don't know much about Brian Rourke but have a...

Oi! Please excuse my lack of knowledge of our Londinium province. I'm one of the unclean provincials.... I'm not apologising, just explaining: ) But I do appreciate the village/town/city social layers.... Good bikes are still cool, wherever they come from I say! My F E Dunning is a proud...

Re: Re: Just up the road, from Gloucester?? I assume you mean from Willesden? There are people in the Willesden CC who know all about FE Dunning. You just need to ask one of them: ) I checked with the club secretary & she told me all I know. A lovely, helpful crew there: )

Yes! Why not experiment? That's how we progress. Isn't it?

Well, I don't disagree actually: ) But I do like to experiment, & after all, don't we all upgrade our bikes as & when we can? Whether it's 1955 or 2005? It can go back to 'original' any time, but it rides much better with alloys, whatever size, than it ever did with steel rims. Choice of tyres...
