BB, headset, seatpost, 26" front wheel&tubbie and will include a 27" fork if you plan to race it on the track

You're about to downgrade mate

SO we've discussed at length the correct method of measuring chain wear to ensure more happy miles than what a commercial chain measuring tool allow us. <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> The next step is to ensure cassettes and chainrings are still in good nick so as not to chow up our chains. Besides using the blue Park tool chain measuring tool's rounded end, what is the other way of checking wear of cassettes and blades?

Where can I find an old school Campag "aero" 27.2x 200 seatpost at a reasonable price (or maybe one of one guys got one lying around not being used). ebay is m@#r expensive

Any paintjob is better than the 2009 sliver/ black rubbish they tried

Why redo that nice look'n frame? I assume it's alu What do you mean by "polishing" (i.e. how) the rattle can paint job?

Tibia is lower leg frontal bone (shin bone)

correct

geotrails, what time you guys leave in the morning and eveings, and what's that bike track like?

Jeewizz, where did you get time or energy to ride a bike while on honeymoon

What do you guys do with work clothing, keep sets at work when driving in on Mondays/ Fridays or use a back pack?

Unfortunetly you ride back in the avie - it'll be one tough course with the SW'er blowing. (I work at the new harbour) hence I've stayed off the N2 during working hours

The market is really Guys are even struggling to sell great bargains right now The Trek, maybe R5k, but prob more like 4.5k right now (a fear price is R6k)

So ANdre' date=' are these babies for sale?[img']https://assets.bikehub.co.za/legacy_images/smilies/smiley4.gif[/img] Let me think about that for a second. Um..... No. Is that YES???

shot brussel, thought I had my facts straight (almost) but never knew who the dude was

I didn't know Chuck Norris rode MTB!!!

I heard a rumour a few years ago of a guy who got involved in a argument about climbing Everest. So much so that he climbed on his MTB rode across 1 or 2 countries up to base camp, climbed Everest unaided and without oxygen and rode back home just to prove his point. slowtwitch2009-08-25 05:21:10

SHIMANO!!! (but I have a soft spot for LOOK) Investigated Speedplay, but couldn't find a good enough reason to change

I have two Shimano Biopace groupsets - one in not so good condition which I'm willing to let go if someone is keen (the one is going back on my '87 Cannondale Crit)

I doubt that bike was so light. Look at the frame weights: it's not lighter than the Giants, cervelo's ect, and with training wheels and 105????? Sorry I don't believe the 7.6kg's for a complete setup with pedals and all.

Some more useless trivia. The Italian carbon company' date=' ATR, that supplies most Italian bike and car companies(including F1) with their raw materials has gone under. Looks like all tubing will be sourced from China in the near future. I think Time is the only company that actually weaves their own carbon tubes. [/quote'] As far as I know from various articles, LOOK and GIANT is the only 2 manufacturers who weaves their own carbon

onetime, this was a bold move by you, well done!
