Nice! With that FW I'd be tempted to build a half step & granny with that T.A. crankset.

So...going total native muppet here -FW box?

Think I half understood that

-FW box?

There's a box of fairly random old freewheels in that part of the shop's basement storage area we call "Muggers' Alley"

 

[Jez Nemeth]

Oh righty. Sounds totally delightful.



Brilliant -I think I can almost see your place from this side of the Severn...obviously not now, cos its dark. But work in the same place I wrekkon...

Still laughing about 'Muggers Alley' 10 mins later -got me that one!

I'm back on my native hillside in Wales now, but the fw box is still underground by St Michael's Without.
I didn't dig in it too deeply as I found what I waslooking for, and most of the quality fws are 14,15,16,17,18 because almost nobody was "person" enough to wear those guys out, especially in the mendips.

You lot are making me feel shamed into doing something with my Bates frame

 

[Jez Nemeth]

Yeah had a set that came with a bike i bought from Oz reeeellly cheap -think over the 9 spd varies from 13 up in 1 size increments ...hills were like Cryptonite to that gearset, have to admit defeated me too. ;(

Mind you -used to ride single speed everywhere...couldn't do it now...my legs would fall apart at the knees...
