And today I did......

[perry]

considering starting to look out stuff to sell, though I have a big bottle of beer in front of me

You crazy scots aren't using the stuff as currency are you ( or "legal tender " as someone always says when we get one of your iffy foreign notes in our great land )

Si , would your guy be able to knock up some alloy bottom bracket cups that aren't a normal size ? I could send the original cup for sizing and another to get an idea of what I'm after . I suppose I could find someone local but I'd rather it was a guy who knew bikes a bit so it was less likely to get lost or not done quite right .

Who'd have thought a bike made in the 20s would have an unusual size part

Any chance of some pre prep/paint pics , there's a beauty in a shell in such a stage of its life .

[kaiser]

commuted to work and fell on my backside twice :twisted: total pea soup fog had iced up a back road. Ice and fixed wheel don't mix. Thinking its 05:30 I'm lying on the road, its cold foggy and icey WTF am I doing :roll: This also had the knock on effect of taking out my two rear lights. Oh and snapped my mudgaurd.

 

[velomaniac]

Ice and any bike dont mix but fixed usually slightly better as you have traction control. You need a normal hours job Kaiser, the times you mention are as far as I'm concerned mere myths and fantasy

Hope your OK

 

[kaiser]

The problem with fixed is when you start to go you can't use your legs very well to get your balance back. I had a whiplashy feeling which developed into a sore head. Almost gone now :roll: I'm hoping its thawed for the road home, it was just that wee icy sheen to the road, hardly noticable till you on yer bum :twisted:
