105 complete grouppo avaliable now!!! ebay if no one is interested....

Cash shortage and incoming child (= wife not working = future cash shortage) are preventing me from taking you up on your generous offer.

Still looking for unwanted road bike parts...

[chappers]

im trying to think of other bits that i have begging.
a stem for sure, 100mm for over sized bars.

ill have a look mate.

the 105 groupset: (this has just been removed from my road bike - its in great condition, loads and loads of life left in it).
sti levers.
brakes.
front and rear gear.
12-25 sprockets.
compact 50/34 chainset (wear from my heals rubbing on them)
english BB.
chain with KMC link (plus one spare link for your saddle pack).
all cables and casings replaced recently but the buyer would maybe want to get a new set as the have been cut to fit my frame...

so pretty much the whole thing!

LagerBike MK1 had it's first outing yesterday. At the moment it is a rude concoction of bits dragged out of skips and a front wheel from my Uraguyan Neighbour. The rear tyre held air for about 2 miles (that's 2 miles at a cost of FUCK ALL per mile which equals next to nothing). The difference in speed/efficiency between a skinny wheeled road thing and my fat tyred mountain monster was a joy to experience. Today I spent actual money on an inner tube.

I am reluctant to fit any of the junk I have salvaged on to the lovely frame from Big Dom until I am sure it will not cause a nasty crash.

I have recreated a traditional 10 speed set up with friction shifters and drop bars with those touring type brakes (levers on flat and drop). Front tyre is a teeny weeny 20C, Rear is 32C. Seat and stem are off a mountain bike. It doesn't look like the type of bike that anyone would want to steal.

Front tyre is a teeny weeny 20C, Rear is 32C.

sweeeet.

That's pretty much spot on, but my push bike has a bigger engine and I haven't got disc brakes.

So more like this?



or this:

somewhere in between the two, but with a big fat bald man on top - like those comedy fat blokes on little mopeds you see in France
