  1. As many of you hopefully remember a few years back, I posted a topic up or rather Robin (RobinJI) did about the restoration of my vintage classic car. Well I can now say it is running and now back on the road, heres the original topic http://www.trials-fo...-jowett-long-7/ Now this year I entered classic of the year 2012, and have amazingly somehow have gotten voted in by the judges down to the final 20, and now its up to public vote for the decider on who is awarded the classic car of the year 2012 title. So I was wondering if anyone would be up for voting? the link http://ccoty.co.uk/classic_car_voting.php#votec Heres a photo of how she currently looks now
  2. Some of the locations in that were sidmouth, do you ride there often or anywhere else along the coast? sidmouth, lyme regis, westbay?

    Yeah it has vertical drop outs, and I'm also running a simple sprung chain tensioner,This one but I still need to use the half link, I was wondering if I used another tensioner maybe a two jockey wheeled one or a different set up of gearing to make the chain a suitable length without resorting to a half link.

    Xr 26

    Hello, I'm currently riding an Ozonys Xr26. The gearing I'm running it on is currently 18/15. Now I find this gearing fine, but with the chain I have to use a half link, which I have a tendency of snapping often. Could anyone recommend a different maybe ratio, or any chain tensioners setups which would be able to allow me to not use a half link... Any help greatly appreciated, fed up with snapping half links, would prefer to run a complete link.
  7. Both avid and xtr are pretty good arms, can't really go wrong with either I don't think. I've run avids before and haven't had a problem with them, also get a slick cable, and fairly decent lever like an avid sd7
  8. Currently using the Sd7 for the rear and the fr5(silver one) for the front. And been running them for years there both pretty good levers in my opinion and fully serviceable. You say about your blade wobbling, thats because the two top hat bushes are prone to breaking, but still you can just strip it down and get replacements then back to good again.
  9. Yeah, I like that a lot! Glad you put my old frame to good use, how does it ride?

    Onza zoot forks, seemed pretty good for the money as its a pretty budget build. Think of going for a higher stem or bar, but for the moment it rides fairly well with its current setup

    Some more updated photos with new forks and pedals, riding pretty well now, the Vees are perfect on it....
  12. Pretty nice build, what does the bike handle like with the NS bars thinking about investing in a set?
