Have just sold the frame so needed to do a quick build for my IG page.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SELLE-ITALIA-FLITE-1990-SADDLE-NUBUCK-BROWN-/224808579844?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 I got one here and it’s really really nice.

Defo needs a set of Maguras on it. Stem and bars look a little too high. I’ve got a set of Azonic OCR and bars that would work. Glad your fitting a proper seat, a nice Tan Flite would look perfect. Very nicely done though

Oddly I did a post today in my IG page about selling the collection.

No way, he keeping well? The MX24 is pretty. I have one more T1 in the garage

Built this the salvo with little one. Need to get some better pads sorted asap.

So I’ve come down with something. 99% sure it’s a stinking cold but got rushed to doctors last night struggling to breath. Been diagnosed with asthma, they say a chest infection and this morning I had to go do a PCR as LFT is clear. So I’ve inhaler, monitors and antibiotics. Great!!

Slaughter To Prevail Some nice Russian metal core. Going down well smashing down walls

Wow that’s clean.

Very very nice. Polishing before anodising is a must unless you want a rough finish. Impressive work done so far.

Ah yeah that makes sense with the fork and the geo. I replaced a few of the BB’s. It was lock tight, circlip and interference fit. I can’t recall if you had to pay him or not.

Very nice. So what the difference between this and the Leeson? I like it in the finish it is.

Could well of been this https://www.theregister.com/2022/02/09/starlink_satellites_burned_by_geomagnetic_storm/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook&fbclid=IwAR1xrscB2oBiJnvjh-a0Q5mhdahvgMjla51ZnqjsSaWaKARm-79g2bAWmz0

Too scary to ride some of them that hard!!!

I’m a frame builder by trade dude. I use to work at Argos Racing Cycles in Bristol and also Bike Workshop frame building before going on my own. Fillet brazing is just an art and flare, showing off. A brazed joint is fine. Look at Chris and Leeson for example. The mount is unsupported and has very small surface contact for support. It’ll flex and twist off very quickly.

That disc mount won’t last! Fillet brazing is an art. Making it nice and smooth like that isn’t always best. Any more info on it.

Is it really worth this much of a wait.

So many people panic selling. Loving the dips.

Strip It off, clean it all, thread lock and then the above. How and what I’ve done/do and never had an issue.

Haven’t touched it in ages after they forked and stopped ASICS mining it. I got some tucked away

Dodge has jumped 14% as Tesla now accepting it. So if you haven’t and fancy it sink what you can afford to lose as it might be very rewarding
