^ Way Cool! ^

My first bike looked like that

I'd love to spend an afternoon in his shed

I've never liked the idea of 'hitting' a hardened steel, bearing component into place. They can (and will) crack, or chip if you get it wrong.
They should be an interference fit, so the size...

It doesn't matter where I rode today.

All that matters is that I had an awesome time doing it :)

Beer Spider!

........Makes ya Spew!

Just played two games of Soccer, back to back.

Am now destroyed..........

Wow!!

Yeah, I was surprised that this was the cause, but logical when you think about it. It is also a cheapie light. Does anyone with a quality, big money light sets, experience these problems??

I...

This!

Yeah, there were a lot of roadies - Particularly in the same catagory as my Paino, Hence, I didnt have a chance of a prize there. But there were only 3 bikes in the Track catagory, and I...

Did some pedestrian dodging around the bay cyclepath, at Balmain.

Nutcases!!

I went out early this morning, and as the sun hadnt come up yet, I put on one of my 900 lumen lights.

Once on the road, I noticed that the comupter (Cateye Strada) wasnt registering any speed....

This is the GT frame, back from Mr Kleen, all "Mother of Pearl" -y. They did a spectacular job really. The...

These were my two entries - I didnt take home any prizes, but it was nice to watch people look at the bikes with interest....

Spin me up a Margarita, Captain!

......extra Lime, thanks :)

So this was sarcasm then?

Was hoping for some 'in depth' news.

I have sent in two forms.

1 for my Blue Paino in the "1960 - 1985 Road bike" catagory.

1 for my 1949 Corsair (Les O'Mara) Track bike re-build in the "Competition track bike" catagory.

I...

Gee! I hope the bike is ok :p

Mend quickly & mend well.

Looks like a red cross

30mm!! Wow!! If I set up a 80ton, 20 meter long printing press and got the alignment out by 30mm, I would be strung up! How does a 1 meter long bike frame get that far out? (and remain rideable??)
...

No need to be sorry, U.G. This has been a good little project - a bit of a brain teaser too.

It is nice to be able to get your feedback and experience.

If nothing else than for the exersize, I...

You are definately on the right track U.G.

Unfortunately I only saw your last post, after I had fiddled with the rim position (dishing).

While it now looks a lot better, on closer inspection,...

Thanks T.D.

Ok - I have finally had 30 mins to look properly at this thing in the workshop (without the Missus glareing at me while looking periodically at ther watch and tapping her feet on the...

Yes. On my check list for this evening. - Thanks for all the info on checking this. Probably a little simpler than what I would have tried.
Honestly, if the frame had a replaceable rear hanger, I...

Thanks U.G.

The rim is correct then. The wheel is set a little too close to the drive side. This either due to the way the wheel is dished or may be something else I noticed last night with a...

A friend of mine dropped her bike around, for me to check over prior to us heading out for a ride next weekend.

The bike has Dura Ace WH-7801 SL wheels on it (Nice wheel set!!) with an asymetrical...
