Hey, not yet, but only because i haven't built the bike up yet! I've had a few financial crises so the build has taken a back seat. I also have my Toxsin to ride so there's less urgency. I just bought a vernier caliper from eBay yesterday for £2.99 inc postage so I'll see how good that is (can't be that good for £3!). That will allow me to measure the seat tube and therefore buy a seat, seatpost and seatclamp, and then after I've got some new bars and a Truvativ BB tool/ got a shop to fit the BB when they do the headset, I can put it all together! I'll post in here when it happens. Cheers, Duggy

Hey, thank you for the comprehensive reply! I'll give the wheelbase/ BB measuring a go when I finish putting the bike together. the method seems pretty straightforward. I think I've tried the wheelbase one before, and found it was hard to measure accurately around the cranks and so on. Then again, the measuring is only for my interest so that's fine. I've not tried the BB so that will be good. I'm using a metal ruler to measure the seat tube, and as you suggest, it seems rather inaccurate. I did think it might be 31mm, but it just doesn't seem that big whichever way I measure it. Maybe my ruler is a bit shoddy. unfortunately I have neither a vernier caliper, nor access to one, so that's out unless I can find one awfully cheap on the internets. But then I suppose it is likely to so inaccurate as to be useless! I might have to see if I can get to the bike shop at the weekend and put some seat posts in it/ seat clamps on it, to see what fits. Thanks again, much appreciated. Duggy

hi guys, I have just acquired an Onza Woodstock frame which I'm building up by breaking my old Toxsin down, and I know pretty much nothing about it! I know its an ally frame, and that it has a 73mm bb, and takes an internal headset. but other than that I'm a bit stuck for info. What I'm really after is a list of parts that fit it, mainly the seatpost and clamp. I'm just not sure which ones to buy as I measured the seat tube and it seems to be about 30mm (internal diameter), but then I've talked to one bloke who said he had a 31mm post in it, and I'm just not sure if that would fit? My local bike shop is very small, and only open on Saturdays, so it's hard to get to to test it out. Any other info about the frame like ideal wheelbase, suggested forks, (I have some Echo ones to put on it), chainstay length, bb height would all be great for interests sake. oops, written a bit much there! Thanks in advance for any replies. Duggy

Sorry boys I'm bailing, i got trashed last night, and it's all wet and stuff anyway. next time I'm there! Have a good one, catch you all laters

Hey guys! I will try and come along, I should be back up here by then, if so, I'm there! Yeah! Hehe, Merry Christmas everyone! Laters

Cheers for the heads up Having a lazy day though! Maybe do something next week guys? Glad you got your freewheel Ollie! What did you go for in the end?

Do you wanna make it Sunday John? Foot might be a little better by then? Sunday's better for me.... Anywho, looks like it'll be a small crowd whatever happens! hehe Anyone else up for rides?! Adam, where do you live? Lancashire's pretty big...

Nice, I'm going on the 21st, so would be up for a ride the previous weekend i think. Anyway, that's for another thread

No can do I'm in London all over christmas seeing my folks. Maybe just after new years though? WOuld be up for some riding then, try and work off the christmas dinner!

What's going on guys?! Let's do something! I don't mind where, and can do either day. Shall we go and see JoHnY in maghull? Is your foot better mate?! Laters!

No worries Jonny, hope it gets better soon dude! Cutting an artery's pretty hardcore! I dunno, putting blood on my tyre too. tut tut. Haha! you got a lift home then? didn't have to hobble to the station? Yeah I'm up for Maghull next weekend if you'll be about? Is there some small stuff for me to ride? i'm not very special on my bike to be honest. I'm not sure about a week night ride Ollie, Mark said maybe tuesday, but i thnk my hands might be hurting then still, they're pretty raw at the moment! might feel better by then though. Did you get a new freewheel?
