If i had the cash to splash on a new groupset all well ands good...but i don't... Never mind

Hey all, not been on in a while but after finally getting some time to myself to fiddle with bikes i find myself with a bit of an issue. As usual i've been keeping an eye out for cheap bits and bobs popping up and one i got a few months back was an E13 42t extended range sprocket for my 2011...

Re: Re: Thanks mate! Its surely more of a bike than i am a rider so it'll do for a fat old bloke like me! :D

Hey all, not been on in a while but i thought i'd just update the progress on my Whyte T-120...so much for a cheap rebuild, i think i may have gone a bit ott!!! New parts now include: SRAM S-1400 crankset and new GXP BB SRAM X9 rear mech SRAM X9 front mech SRAM X9 shifters Alloy jockey wheels...

Re: Re: Cheers chap! Keep keeping an eye out myself but i'm worried the wife will murder me if i buy another!!! :)

Looking good! Loving the mix of old and new tech...and i bet the bike gives you a bigger smile than that TF? :D

Re: Got a B-17 frame and swingarm and a little pile of parts i keep on adding too here! :) In keeping with benandemu's build (which made me get a B-17! :D) i am hoping to get it running with modern-ish running gear so i've got some 2x10 XTR bits, a brand new Fox CTD rear shock i got off eBay...

Been looking at this one for a while, hanging on the wall of a lads garage where we take some of our MOT's too. This was after a quick wash to get the accumulated years of dust and crap off it! Needs some pivot bearings and a crankset...next task is to buy the PRST-1 that was hanging next to...

PM incoming mate... :)

Doesn't have to be anything fancy, Alivio etc will be fine. New pads would be ideal but not necessary. Having a swingarm converted to Post Mount so i need a caliper to send down with it along with the hub and disc i already have! Cheers, Jon. :)

Come across them on eBay of all places. Had a look at their site and the work seems good, and they are also quite bicycle orientated it seems with regards to refacing bb's etc when coated, just wondering if anyone on here has used them before i part with my hard earned? Cheers, Jon :)

Re: RT81 Ice-Tech CL Disc Rotor 203mm ** REDUCED ** Cheers chap, pm me with the details of how you want paying... :)

£20 with the cheapest possible post here? Can't offer any more sorry, the wife will kill me! :D

Sorry mate, not been about. Thats ideal...pm me how you want paying? :)

Doesn't need to be anything fancy. Converting my daughter in law to be's roadie to flat bars as she suffers with a bad back and thought having a shorter reach would help as she's only tiny! A bit of a rise on it might be a good thing as well, only real proviso is black or white in colour...

Re: Well fair does to them, ordered sunday, dispatched monday, delivered today (tuesday), not to shabby. Got all excited when i saw the label on the box was telling me i'd recieved a Planet X Pro Carbon cyclocross frame and fork but it wasn't to be, just my £99 frame. :D And yeah, seems okay...

Re: Re: As i say, at that price i really couldn't hold out any longer! :D What the hell, i hope to build that up over Christmas or so after i've finished (or even started :D) the old Marin that originally bought me here. I figure my eldest lad can have my current mtb, give his mum the bike he...

Re: Re: Cheers mate :) http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/FROOPK27/o ... -275-frame For an even cheaper than the last time i posted the link £99 in the sale i couldn't help myself. I now have about £2 in the bank to live on until payday but what the hell... :D
