The building of my second CCCF (FM 015)

[gb155]

The offer's still there to take the ugly bike off your hands, Gaz. Just let me know and I'll do what I can to assist you.

Let me finish building the BSO first eh :-)

Good for you mate I admire your determination hugely and trust me three years after beating the demon is nothing. Baby steps and all that Look at it this way you are in effect teaching your body to need and enjoy food something that usually only happens as a baby when brain development is very different indeed.

Kudos to you. You know you need to eat far more though right?

Baby steps indeed

It's just like a child learning to walk or talk , they need advice at every turn , mine is something that 99% of adults know everything about and that's why people like Zoiders seems To think I know all about food but I'm "playing up" looks for encouragement etc, truth of the matter is , I simply dong have a clue , but people have a hard time understanding how you can get to 30 years old like that , I'm not even sure myself

But with the help of the pro's I will get there !!!!

iTypo

Anyway im not sure who ever suggested it was a BSO just because its a chink special - many others and this has been dicussed in chat are or would consider one (and carbonzone wheels), I would get the TT frame if it wasn't so ugly on the steerer tube and I have no need for a new carbon road frame yet - I think my current can live it out a bit longer (wheels first tbqh).

A chink special?

A Chinese unbranded carbon frame. I really hope we arent going to play the racist card!

Agreed - maybe I need to ask the mods to remove this thread and I'll start it again

What colour is the racist card?

gaz, you go ahead and make as many bikes as you like with whatever frame you like and stick whatever wheels on them you like.

please yourself and enjoy

PS: how can a stem be on the wrong way up ??? they are reversible

This is true, my comment was in jest, I'm sure Gaz "got it". But just to respond, it is sort of counter-intuitive to invest in a frame with aggresive racing geometry only to put the stem "sit up and beg" way round.

Yeah I got it

Ohhh, that reminds me, I need to see if I have a couple-o-spacers and then get the steerer cutand the stem flipped before I tackle the rest of the build this weekend

What tool do I need to tighten this ?

 

[Angelfishsolo]

Either buy a BB Tool with the tensioner attatchment or ure a 20p coin and pliers.

+1, and it only needs to be nipped up Gaz, you don't need to go overboard tightening it.

Ahhh right ok - assumed it needed to be " bastard " tight
