that could be an option- how are you with radial laced spokes?

never done them before , but don't let that put you off......

mind am a mechanic and a welder/fabricator to trade so it'll maybe take an extra half hour to figure it out

let me see what the chap says, he has a wheel builder buddy he wants to consult.

Any plans fellow haggis toastie munchers?

Anyone got a black ahead stem 1 1/8th that they want to offload swapsies or cash waiting?

I got either a black TT stem or pricier a Raceface that you might like Gaz.
What sort of reach /elevation you after ?

As for biking, no a lot on due to needing to get scooter tyre mended so cant go anywhere but as I say lots of local trail for practice.

Been hacking around the woods on the Hardrock this afternoon, I really love this old bike, its probably going to NWA meet

 

[big.eck]

the Geo on these old spesh bikes is pretty much spot on, look foreward to seeing it velo. Not really sure on the stem parameters suppose I want the same look as the stem on the vega at the mo. See my sig below, will measure up later after I have done going round my neighbours begging for sweets and monkey nuts!

 

[big.eck]

is it a 1" stem you'll be looking for gazz ? i think i have a cheepo one that looks like the one on your vega :?

it'll need painted i think

Not got a stem like that Gaz but i can go rake bikestation the morn, maybe they might have something.

Thanks for the tyre heads up Eck, very interesting and close to me
