Lots of heavy metal coming at you!

And thats just the shades

Just bid and bought a set of pepperami's on the off chance they would be 1", wee bit of research would have told me that year all were 1 1/4". More pointless ebayin :x

 

[clockworkgazz]

bugger- turn them round and maybe turn a profit?

Think I am a SS convert- didn't even think gears when I thought how the stumpy might come together :roll:

AwayCaboose I blame and thank you in equel measure

Anyone got any flat bars? Black would be cool?

 

[kaiser]

SS with Sus?

 

[clockworkgazz]

think it is 1 inch and prob only work with 60 mm so not sure I would have that much options? Might just go rigid for the time being? Thought I was making my life less complex by selling but can't get out of the buy buy buy mentality- was very tempted by the buck shaver......ha ha. What were the pepperami's for, the dale getting some love?

 

[kaiser]

Yeah, I've been keeping my eye out for some 1" pepperoni's and took a punt on these ones. The dale is going to be a long resto anyway.

 

[velomaniac]

Gaz, I got some alloy black specialized flat bars in keeping with the stumpy if I can find them.

Latest project is coming up with a cyclo cross steed for the winter now that Kaiser has sown the seed. I think my 50's rudge frame with 700c wheels, cottered chainset and SS hub. Will not be light but will be rugged and very retro :roll:

Cannot believe I'm thinking about winter and yet I still have not done summer, madness

 

[clockworkgazz]

I have some very nice bonty drop bars and crane creek brake levers- which were on the Gary fisher if you are interested velo?

 

[clockworkgazz]

Spesh bars would be cooltastic velo if you can find them.
