What's wrong the the "ghost" saddle in the picture. May not be he most comfortable but it certainly be a takling point.ldrcycles wrote:Been trying to register all day and it finally worked, yay! Looks like it will be a bit tight getting my bikes ready in time but it should happen.
Also, looking for feedback, do you reckon this would work as a 'tweed bike' with flipped north road bars and a Brooks B17? I'll probably also swap the not particularly attractive cranks for some older steel ones, maybe even cottered.

Woo hoo, a 21.1 steerer, perfect. If you are still keen to let me have it I'll grab it at the ride.ldrcycles wrote:There's a little bit of surface rust on them, but if you want them you can have them. My problem now is that the bullmoose stem is 21mm, so normal stems won't fit. The headtube doesn't look like an unusual size though so hopefully i will be able to fit a normal headset.

Important distinction cotterpin, i have plenty of 'retro' tin but nothing in the way of 'vintage' . About the oldest thing i've got is a mid 70s BSA, and that wouldn't be quite the trick to compliment my dashing old timer threads (i do have a 64 Raleigh Colt though, but that's a ladies bike). I'm thinking the Torago could make a passable Pashley Guvnor wannabe?
Will do singlespeedscott, and if i decide to change the headset i'll give you that too (not as though it would be of any use to me).
And speaking of dashing old timer threads....
Myself and my lovely lady .
This is just a 'rough draft', there are a few items which don't fit/are the wrong colour or are missing altogether but you can get the general idea.

Those are actually one of the temporary pieces, I don't think bright red really works haha. I'll be getting some brown ones from Lowes. The hat didn't fit either, but i've found a black 'train conductor' hat (that's what i call it, it's like a flat cap but taller if that makes sense), and stef will be wearing a beret (which looks FANTASTIC! ).singlespeedscott wrote:

EDIT: and i've been meaning to mention, the last sector of gravel is looking a bit off it's best at the moment, still smooth down the sides for most of it but some solid potholes through the centre, hopefully it doesn't deteriorate much further before the ride.
