Bump

I'm sure it's a bargain but what is it?

Takes a 27.2 standard seat post. Will probably come with a clamp (every frame I've got from them has had one). They are great frames and the geometry is perfect IMHO.

Before Isla Rowntree formed Islabikes she worked for Carrera and designed bikes for them, Carrera Subways were her dwsign.

Dawes Century SE, 54cm. Steel 520 frame with Ambrosia Carbon forks (original forks had too short a steerer). Hertfordshire £90 collected. Reason for sale is that the frame was always a bit small for me and I've replaced it with a Spa Audax. Includes mudguards and wiring for rear dynamo light, headse...

I thought about this and whether it'd be better than my current home brew stand

My steel tourer has failed on the downtube joint with the bottom bracket.



I've got a replacement frame on the way. Anyone got any suggestions for uses for a frame where the rear triangle is ok?

Or is it just fit for scrap?

you can't just flip the rim and solve it. If the rim handedness is different in the new rim your choices are a) having the valve in the wrong place b) drilling another valve hole in the rim c) Ignoring the stagger in the rim drilling d) relacing one side of the wheel so that the spokes are in diffe...

Assuming you find time with similar erd re-riminng does not need the wheel to be dismantled. Tape the new rim in line with the old one (noting spoke hole direction and valve hole), As well as ERD, there's rim handedness to consider. Most rims have the spoke holes slightly offset, so that spokes to ...

All depends on the rim erd. Plenty of on line calculators and sources of rim erd (not always consistent). Assuming you find time with similar erd re-riminng does not need the wheel to be dismantled. Tape the new rim in line with the old one (noting spoke hole direction and valve hole), loosen the sp...

I have both and prefer the Ortlieb one. Sjscycles do the cables if that's all you need

I've got Marathon Pluses on mine and don't experience what you describe. I chose them as I feel that fixing the actions of the fairy aren't practically reparable by the roadside. They don't feel any different from the original Raleigh's that were fitted when I got the bike (it's an old one). Are you...

76 degrees is ridiculous IMHO! A 21" frame is not that small so don't understand this at all. I went down the Spa route for my Audax bike as I wanted a shallow seat angle.

I wish you luck in your negotiations.

Unfashionable I know but I like Tektro Oryx. CR720s are very wide and not very powerful.

If your bike is flat bar then the V-brake option is a good one but will need new levers

I have had a similar situation but I managed to get it tight enough. I suspect that you have a seat post on the small side and a seat tube on the large side (all within tolerance). It might be worth trying a different seat post?
