  1. New ss project...
  2. I wish... Here is far more ups than downs- but I hear you....
  3. About 17 kg...
  4. I rode the exact same one as this to school, no gears. Black was the standard colour, some were done in an ugly green, and a few in red.
  5. Hope this belongs here...
  6. I definitely don't want to change anything more (already had to re-paint due to a proper horrible home paint job on it), but I also want to ride it and not die doing the mountains around here, + it weighs what feels like a half-ton. Just wondered what is a "standard" ratio on SS.
  7. Please help this stupid... I'm re-doing that 1950's Raleigh roadster. I want to keep the front cog- standard with the Raleigh heron and 48 teeth. The back cog is 18, which is a ratio of 1:2.6. Is that more or less standard for SS? Thanks
  8. Brilliant! Where did you get that chain?
  9. M2CW. I'm very new here. Member on few other forums too, bit what really caught me here is the shere nastiness, ugliness and downgrading nature of some of the comments on some forums- and those mostly come from "senior" hubbers- guys with plenty posts... I normally check the forum once daily, and past few days I wondered couple times do I want to be here- yeah I know I'm only one ole, and new, and you don't really need me, but it's lekker to be between people with the same interests and passions as me- that's why we join forums after all. But it's not lekker to have to sift through some seriously obnoxious, downgrading, and completely unnecessary comments that adds absolutely zero to the anything to try to get to the bottom of a thread. My late father used to say "if you don't have anything constructive to say in a conversation, silence means a lot more than any words".
  10. No. I wish... hopefully one day...
  11. Knives are like t-shirts or bikes: a man can never have enough.... Some of mine- these are all hand-made.
  12. My better-half got me this for Christmas...
