Thanks mate.
Aw I'm sorry to hear about your loss. My condolences, and then to have a lot of unexpected difficulties alongside, just salt in the wound. Hope you're in a more stable, relaxed setting now!Bump:
Up for sale again.
Boxed, ready to post to anyone who might be interested in this fine frame.
Apologies for abandoning previous thread (almost exactly a year ago!). Parent's death, holiday cut-short, house sale, relocation, care home, house sale again... an unexpected busy year.
Now I've cleared/moved two houses/garage/sheds, it's really time for me to downsize my bikes - I can't see my garage floor for all the wheels and clutter.
No, it'd be nice to see a bicycle get built and used. No matter the direction. I run nexus 8 and alfine 8 on my two main bikes. Off and on road.Hmmm, would it be sacriledge if I bought this and put a nexus 8 in it and used it as a commuter?
I could also sell you an Afline11 hand-built wheel and Afline fittings-kit to suit if you're tempted?Hmmm, would it be sacriledge if I bought this and put a nexus 8 in it and used it as a commuter?
It took a very sober night of drinking my own tears to refuse this offer. I commend you for reaching a similar mature viewpoint, though I doubt it'll last.. for either of us. A nexus 8 build on this would be brilliant. What a2c does a frame like this take? I'm sure it'd be rather easy to source... (this isn't peer pressure)Thank you for the offer. I do actually have a full nexus 8 setup looking for the right frame and this probably would be ideal but, much like lmlach, as much as I want it I don't really need it. I'm struggling to justify it since I'd need to get a rigid fork as well. Or are you going to tell me you have a lovely Salsa Cromoto fork lying around to match
