You're right, but in fairness, they've done a good job with the paint job.

For the week that's in it. Would love to know more about it, shame to see it like it is.

Finnrocco · 19-05-2017 11:03AM

that's belong to Morana

Plastik · 19-05-2017 11:13AM

Jeez that didn't take long. 2 minutes and we have the owner tracked down. Morana ... pull the finger out!

I feel dirty just looking at that. I'd almost walk down and clean it if I new where it was

Interested to know the association with the R?s though.

Looks like York Street ...will stroll down at lunch and see if I'm right (and maybe give it a scrub!)

Nay, secure off street location, you won't happen across this on regular travels.

Finally managed to find the bar tape I needed to finish my new build. Hasn't been made in almost 20 years and couldn't find a roll of it anywhere. In the end I managed to locate two boxes of it - enough for twenty bikes! Reckon it must have been from the carrera cycling team.

you really are doing your username justice so.

Yours? Niiiiiiiiiiiiice.

Would look the best with the stem up and tanwall tyres.

Plastik · 06-07-2017 08:23AM

Unfortunately not. The SuperSix & CAAD10/12 is such a classic simple frame design though. Less can be infinitely more.

Remember Trigger's broom from Only Fools and Horses? Well, here's Trigger's bike!

The only thing left from the original bike is the 6 year old frame. Even the fork is changed (under warrenty from Canyon). Bought the shifters, rear mech, and cassette to upgrade to 11 speed. Previous replacement bits and pieces carried over to this. Ideally, I'd upgrade the Tiagra 10 speed cranks but they work fine and anything newer would only be a small weight saving. I have lighter Ksyriums but the Ultegra wheels pictured are plenty good enough. Will do for another 6 years...

Ship of Theseus. Only Fools and Horses is quite high brow in it's philosophical references.

This is my crashed Reynolds 725 frame. Can anyone suggest whether there's anything I can now do with this, other than scrap? I'm going to give it away on Gumtree unless this is somehow salvageable.

tonytiger81 · 10-07-2017 09:21PM

toilet roll holder. i'm working on one at the moment.

tonytiger81 · 10-07-2017 09:23PM

Eamonnator · 10-07-2017 09:30PM

Brendan will do a job on this. He can replace the top and down tube.

Don't give that away without a fight to put it right!! It's surely a thing of rare beauty!!

As above....., but if you are I'll happily take it off your hands.

Eamonnator · 11-07-2017 06:51AM

2nd in line, if you're giving it away.

beans · 11-07-2017 07:17AM

Mercian quoted me 700£ for the replacement, interestingly enough.

Maybe I'll see if there's someone local (London) who wants the job. If it comes down to it and I'm looking to offload the frame, I'll pop back here
