henningvr Posted August 14, 2017 Share Technically a no speed at the moment, but she'll be a SS within the coming days... Here she is at the moment:IMG-20170811-WA0026.jpgIMG-20170811-WA0028.jpgIMG-20170811-WA0029.jpg Couch photo will be loaded once the initial build is complete.That frame looks strangely familiar! Nice boet, keep going. Letum911 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bebop Posted August 15, 2017 Share My first SS and first build must say it was great fun riding, I did look for gears the first couple of km's. Letum911, King_Crispy, Gandalf and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I FLY Posted August 17, 2017 Share My Lynskey started creaking and I thought the BB needed servicing. To my horror the BB was fine but there are cracks in the frame where the top tube and seat post meet. The local Lynskey agent has someone who does these kind of repairs. I hope my frame can be saved.

I FLY Posted August 17, 2017 Share My Gary Fischer built with parts from my parts bin at home. Loving it This bike did some travelling. I bought it in Dec 2010 and shipped it to Jhb to use as my commuting bike. In Feb 2011 my daughter went to Stellenbosch so we shipped it back to Stellenbosch for her to use as she had no transport In Feb 2012 my daughter got a car so we moved this bike to Cape Town for my wife to use when she went there on business In Jan 2013 we shipped it back to JHB and gave it to my son-in- law to use while we found him a bike. Then a few months later a hubber was looking for a bike for his gardener so I donated this one. Kalahari Vegmot and Letum911 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I FLY Posted August 17, 2017 Share Ouch!! Hope she can be saved! Out of interest, how far was your seatpost into the frame? I will have to check. It is a standard Lynskey seatpost into a medium frame and at 173cm I am on thebottom end of the frame size so this should not have been the cause of the cracks.

danthunders Posted September 14, 2017 Share So I had a custom fork made for my Ragley TD-1 by Shaun Weber from Storm cycles in cape town. Shaun used True Temper tubing and paragon DT Swiss thru axle drop outs. I also got a new front wheel built up with a Paul thru axle hub by the guys at Sprocket and Jack. I still need to save up for some Thomson bars to finish it off bike once and for all.... (hopefully)....
