Fork-it

So much knowledge and skill to be shared here - thank you. I am getting really excited about this.

Is it not you guys that are on the wrong side....?

That looks very nice! Where did the wheels come from? I think I will go for the flat/riser bars instead of the racer bars.

The Rook's are pretty neat yes, that is basically what I am aiming for. Re the build - a frame with horizontal dropouts is a good start yes. Then the research and sourcing will start. Wheels - would I be able to convert a set of road wheels? BB and cranks...

Not sure if I am ready for that yet, but sure seems very cool!

I would love to see that. What type of frame was it originally?

I had a look at those but I am looking for that clean simplistic look of a road SS. Just like the Rook's and many others. In my mind the tensioner route, is acceptable on a MTB, but not for the ride I have in mind.

Revisiting an old thread.. I am itching to get myself a road single speed or single speed project. Has anyone done a recent successful build? Basically what I want to establish is whether it is worthwhile searching for a frame that can be converted, and then sourcing the parts etc. etc.? Or going the route of looking for a bargain SS as a start? Has anyone attempted to convert the rear dropouts on a road bike to horizontal dropouts? I suppose that will be the biggest issue?

I did not know this! Also - thank you for all the other Aeropress replies. Another question - When making a single espresso, how far do you pull the plunger back? Just up to the (1) mark or further?

On the topic of Aeropress. I received one recently as a gift an I quite like the idea of the simplicity of it. However, there are an abundance of methods to be found online. Does anyone have a tried and tested method they are willing to share?

Let me try that again. Not for sensitive viewers..

Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement 10 cup glass jug for a Russell Hobbs filter coffee machine. My search so far has been fruitless.

Great initiative, good way to get fit again and learn some stuff along the way. Centurion here so Red Barn may be an option. Also looking for a slow & unfit road group on this side.

Some creative posts on here! I am starting a project of building a fairly large farm-style dining room type table using an old reclaimed solid wood garage door as top. I am considering thick turned legs. Does anyone know of someone in Centurion or greater Pretoria area that can turn or sell wooden legs?

Thank you for sharing... your information is not helping my decision making one one bit!

True, but it must be noted that trade marks is class specific and obviously should not be descriptive. So, hypothetically speaking, one would not be able to obtain a trade mark registration for 'Apple' for your fruit shop (its descriptive) but for your computer shop it's a different story (not descriptive of your goods)

Also valid :-) I do however not know why wait so long. There may be endless reasons. Foreign IP law is somewhat different, I am still looking for a more detailed article on this. Anyone?

Valid, but the date of registration of the various trade marks also plays a role

Would the average consumer know the difference in meaning. I didn't. In their normal use (ALLEZ vs ALIZE) can an argument not be made that there are visual similarities. Risk of confusion?

Complicated concept, but it boils down to trade mark rights being a territorial concept and not a worldwide right

This is interesting. Just to be sure is it ALLEZ vs ALIZE ?
