Four finger lever will be sourced tomorrow, something like a Lee Chi as seen on my Hardrock

I will check my spares box over the weekend but I'm sure I have some 70's Dia Compe four finger levers- the same as on my Schwinn.

Deffo up for using mine at Inners- wheels need a rebuild though, a little wobbly, stripped threads on front axle and bearings are growling a little too.

I love you boys retro bikers thru and thru however if it all goes a bit pete tong, can I have your fat si and your orange jimi, I will look after them.

velo, if you get this before your visit to the bike thang, I have aquired some brake levers handlebars and seatpost so scratch these from the list mate.

List readjusted Gaz

kaiser- you got any interesting canti brakes you want shot of?

 

[kaiser]

Kaiser, are you looking for a 1" Judy DH??? Well, I have a 1" DH but want a 1 1/8", so if you find one I will swap the steerer/crown with you.

Yes I'm on for Inners Gazz if I could only sort out a suitable bike. Both bouncer bikes are in bits.

Si, I'm trying to source 1" judy forks. I have a couple of 1 1/8" steerers I was also trying to trade for 1", kinda 2 pronged attack.

nah, I have them earmarked for projects.

No worries what would you use for a to on black lx seems wrong, got some nice ultimate levers but not sure- are you sure v's are not allowed :twisted:

I found zilch that anyone wanted at the bike station except for 29.4mm seatposts x3 which Gaz said he no longer needed, so didn't get them. Next time we should try to outfox the gods of fate and tell me what you really don't want, chances are there would be a surplus in every colour available :roll:

I got a set of Suntour XC race brake levers with built in friction thumb shifters, real cool

Cannot decide if I should get some road miles out to West Linton/Romano Bridge/Peebles in tomorrow or get up the Pentlands on the Spesh :?
Could combine both as there is a nice old drovers track from West Linton to Carlops via the Pentlands lower slopes, nice Pub in Carlops too

Hope your all enjoying the weekend
