Alouette3

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

Bike addict has CSixx Cinch 32T chainrings for R790, for RaceFace cranks. But yes the shimano crank should work as a straight fit

I'd avoid the aluminium ones with pressed fittings. https://share.temu.com/x0EZnhtDy9A I bought this one and the quality is really, really good. Solid, welded and no slop at all.

Get the bike shop to put a tool on it, quick and accuarate. Some brands don't straighten well and snap instead. But most bike shops should have a replacement available or will be able to source one. Take the old one along and they can match it.

That's a serious lot of bike for the money! Otherwise look around for a Giant Trance second hand. Some good deals around and a great allrounder

Hasn't had much use with my contact work schedule, but mostly used it as a driver so far, which is does an amazing job, both with large fasteners into timber and just making melamine boxes. As a wrench, experience is limited, though I couldn't help myself when removing the wheel nuts on my last car job. Will admit I used a breaker bar to crack the nuts and do final torque but did a quick job of popping the nuts off and on.

Some good options there @RobertWhitehead if you want to go all in with something full suspension from the start or @Jensie is also a nice simple hardtail, with half decent brakes and good looking general condition if you want to try things out. Will hold the value and could always sell it for the same if you decide to go all in with the sport / hobby @RobertWhitehead I managed to get a good deal on a well specced Silverback which I did a nice rebuild upgrade on
