Alouette3

Some solid features there for a home machine. PID and pressure gauge as standard, both feature would go well on a Silvia or Gaggia. Larger boiler too is good as well as a thermoblock for steam, which is where the Gaggia could perform better. Looks solid. Give it a go and let us know....

Or go for the Gaggia with a Rocky grinder. Fair number of similar combos on the second hand market

Sorry you had to go through this and loose your bike too. This is the exact hot spot that flares up every 2-3 years. Normally a couple incidences, then they increase patrols and security, that goes away, everyone forgets and goes back to normal, only for it to flare up again in the exact same spot. Unfortunately it's a blind corner, with short burst up hill, and an escape for the perps down to hospital bend

Pick'nPay sells their home brand Sunsure SPF50 I'm a ginger... this is the only thing I use. Whether I'm cycle or kite surfing, doesn't run into the eyes, isn't oily and I can spend 2 hrs plus on the water without reapplying. Bonus is it's cheaper then most others and even comes in a 450ml bottle 😂

Looks like cable actuated discs brakes as stock, and 3x8 which is pretty bomb proof. A good service should have you up and running again. If you want an upgrade after that, maybe look for some hydraulic disc brakes, even Shimano MT200 series and a 1x10 conversion. Shimano makes an affordable 11-46T cassette in 10 speed.

What year? Maybe post a couple pics

Lekker, drop me a Pm an we can make plans

Small frame road bike and fork, not sure on exactly how small, as nothing is marked on the frame. Collection in CT Southern Suburbs. Also have a vintage aluminium bonded Bridgestone frame in a medium size. Will take pics when the last of my bits are off. Just needs a helicoil for the hanger

As mentioned above. BB52 is designed for a completely different crank system. Different BB is not really an upgrade, so if your BB needs replacing, as the bearings do go, replace it with another square taper and reuse the cranks. If your bike has loose bearings for the BB, try find a cartridge style square taper to replace it with. Either way you will need a couple special tools to remove the cranks and another for the BB

Bezzera BZ99 Year later and finally got the time to get her running! Bought as a non runner in pieces! I'll eventually get the pile of parts that was once an Oscar and donor running too. Bezzera HX steams like a dragon compared to my Gaggia classic. Need to relearn my technique, milk gets hot before a good foams has built up, even with 2 of the steam holes plugged.

Southern Suburbs side of the mountain is ok too do solo.

Tokai is right there, otherwise the Constantia Greenbelts to the top of Southern Cross Drive, linking up to Constantia Nek into Kirstenbosch upper contour and across to Newlands Forest. Fairly well sign posted once you are on the trails. From there you can even carry on to Rhodes Memorial

Is it possible on the messenger to have "Enter" add a new line below in text rather then it activating the "Send" button? I inevitably land up sending 3 different messages in the PM instead of one, every time I hit enter key.

Looking for a Boost spacing, front disc hub, 32 hole,15mm TA....

Just ordered one of these. Very interestes to see quality etc. Got a good selection of all the right sizes. I work on a lot of Reverbs and then do my own shocks and forks where I can. Only have a 10mm clamp, so this will let me work with C1 Reverbs 7.5mm or the 9 and 9.5mm on Fox Shocks
