Is that the track round the back of buccletivemor ?

Nope - its up into Glen Ure. According to map it peters out after about 6 miles - but you know wot my maps are like. Like. Ken.

Picked up my ebay purchases from my folks tonight. A spiffy 1" Mavic headset and a middling 1" Controltech stem with desirable removable faceplate. Get home. Check sizes.

1 1/8". Both of them.

I am so fecking scunnered with eBay right now.

Bummer ZZ :evil:

Need to find a frame to hang it on now. Got a 1 inch headset you can have mate nowt special but was on the wicked.

 

[RobMac]

ZZ whats the stem going on? And is it a quill fitting? And is the removable face plate important?

.

 

[clockworkgazz]

On the fat?

 

[zigzag]

Aye, it was for the FAT, and aye it's a quill. Wanted something with a removable face plate so I could put risers on http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT. Missing the bung too

Mavic seller has already refunded, they're both off in the post tomorrow. Think I'll avoid ebay for a while.

Cheers for the headset offer Gazz, but I'll fall back on plan B and just get a new roady one.

 

[clockworkgazz]

You need a Zooka stem ZZ but they are not cheap- look great on a fat to IMHO.

OK another organisational question here.

Why is one of our moderators a non MacRetro, is he here to keep the Mac Mods in line

Give him a Tartan banner I say otherwise it feels like we're being ruled over by the colonial powers
