Speaking of steel, are there any decent modern road frames you guys would suggest? I realized that I've probably got enough parts to build up another bike.
some fine British stove pipe,
1967 Raleigh Sports
Sturmey Archer geared Three Speed
the Raleigh Factory made most of the bike and they had their own standards for headsets and bottom brackets (i.e. 26tpi instead of 24tpi) so these parts couldn't be interchanged with the higher quality Japanese (J.I.S.) parts that were compatible with the most other British Company's (B.S.I.) standards.
Other countries eventually fell in line with the J.I.S. standards. Italy used 26tpi but had a different screw pitch diameter. French made the most sense because it was all metric. Swiss was like French except the BB fixed cup threads were reversed.
TL;DR - summary - if you're buying a used bike frame, either get something from the 1980s or later because it will be compatible with the most commonly available parts

My fave bike posted up on here was a 90's trek, i think a 720, that had been totally re-done with drops, some nice racks and fenders, different group etc - sadly the guy had it stolen recently.
People shit on these bikes as they're seen as just commuters - the geometry is often good for other stuff too though with plenty of clearance for fat ass tires, the steel is usually pretty decent, and having cantis is a bonus also.

>>958993
Pinkbike guy here.
For starters, those are mini-V brakes, which are designed to work with road levers, instead of modern mountain bike levers. Mine are Paul Components, but TRP and Tektro both make nice ones.
They're really nice. Less finger effort, better modulation, and more stopping power than canti brakes. Downsides: they require setting the pads closer to the rim, so they're less forgiving of out-of-true rims, or mud buildup. The transverse cable ends up quite low over the tire, which means you can't easily use fenders.
Second, those aren't SIS levers. They're standard Tektro drop bar levers with bar end shifter mounted on them. Neat little product from Gevenalle. Much more robust that brifters, abet a little less convenient - you can only really shift from the hoods.
I'm not sure what >>958866 is doing, because those look like normal mountain V-brakes.

>>959112
>dat saddle
The LHT is such a good bike, too. Why did you have to ruin it with that piece of fucking shit saddle?
>>959114
cause I can sit on it for more than 20 miles without feeling like my ass was beat in with a sledge hammer.
>>959115
You can do that on a non-shit saddle to. Learn to fucking put your saddle at the correct height and angle.
>>959117
the tires in the picture are some very old vittoria randoneers. I just put some standard schwalbe marathons on though. so far its been a good touring setup, but I haven't done too much stuff yet.
>>959119
>implying that everyone has the same body shape and seat preferences.
How exactly do I put the seat at the "correct" angle and "correct" height?
>>959125
>>implying that everyone has the same body shape and seat preferences.
Except I didn't imply that.
>How exactly do I put the seat at the "correct" angle and "correct" height?
If you can't figure that out yourself, go to the LBS and ask for a bike fitting.
>>959129
Isn't the reason those things are adjustable is because people have different body shapes? Therefore, wouldn't it be fair to assume that the position is correct if it fits me. Wouldn't the "correct" angle and "correct" height be the height and angle I find most comfortable yet efficient? The picture I posted is exactly that, so is therefore correct. Quit your trollin.
>>959132
>Isn't the reason those things are adjustable is because people have different body shapes?
Yes.
>Therefore, wouldn't it be fair to assume that the position is correct if it fits me.
If it fits you well, yes.
>Wouldn't the "correct" angle and "correct" height be the height and angle I find most comfortable yet efficient?
Yes.
>The picture I posted is exactly that, so is therefore correct.
If, with a better saddle than that piece of shit, you feel like your 'ass was beat in with a sledge hammer', then no, the picture you posted is not exactly that. You should be able to do 100+ miles on a good saddle (as in, not a Brooks; Brooks are pure fucking shit), fuck, even 200 if your legs can handle it, without your ass hurting if your bike is adjusted correctly.
>>959137
After I switched to the brooks saddle, my buttocks felt fine after long rides. It was pre-brooks that my buttocks did not feel fine. Brooks musta really burned you for you to have this sort of animosity. Did the brooks dude fuck your sister or mom or something? did the leather snap and castrate you? Whats wrong with a brooks saddle? for $40, it seems like a solid purchase on my end.
>>959142
You're like those faggots that ride on the cushy saddles and ride beach cruiser "comfort" bikes, because those things are more comfortable WHEN AND ONLY WHEN the superior alternatives are not set up correctly, not sized correctly, not fitted correctly, etc.
>>959145
Come on guy, lets hear a real argument against brooks saddles. I wanna know why my choice was shit, not how I'm just a beach cruiser loser. Do they break? Do they lose comfort? are they one gram to heavy? Not aerodynamic enough? Whats wrong with the brooks?
>>959149
Nothing. The 'problem' is that a lot of retarded hipsters go for them for incredibly stupid reasons.
I personally never found them to be particularly bad/good saddles, outside of leather being a fucking terrible material to use with the climate in my area.
>>958898
brilliant. This is an understated work of staggering bicycle genius.
>>958895
Double trouble brilliant. The utility is debatable, but it is objectively awesome. Where did you find a long enough brake cable for your rear brake?
>>959000
You have a Breezer as your commuter? Fancy. I like the build. Fender line needs work tho. Maybe a rear brake too?
>>959056
Nice build. I am bummed that Pake discontinued this frame, and that Pake might as well not exist anymore.

For the tandem, the Xtracycle is really nice when heading to the beach. It's very practical. It can easily haul more than what two people need for an afternoon. Regarding the brake cable (and the rear shifter cable for the internal hub), you can buy them on ebay all day long for under $10. Off the top of my head, the brake cable is 3500mm and the shifter cable is 4000mm.
I scored the pantographed chain ring on eBay. The listing had a slight error when the Italian guy translated into English so I was the only bidder.
My Paramount is a really nice ride. I have come to really enjoy the straight front fork and how precise the bike is.
How afraid of rust should i be if i own a cromo steel bike?
>>959163
Yes, those are the VO Dajia Far bars. The OEM is Satori,it's their "Boondocks" bar. Origin 8 also re-sells them as a "Gary Ergo Sweep" bar, but they're all the same Satori Boondocks bar.
I like it a lot. It's a wee bit tricky to set up such that the drops at a comfortably horizontal angle while the hoods/ramps are still usable, but it's doable (Unlike, say, the Salsa Woodchipper). Up in the hooks is super stable for descending, even on rough and rooted trails.
1974 Italvega Super Record. Precurser to Univega before Ben Lawree moved production to Japan. Hand built in Italy, Columbus SL tubing throughout, campy fork ends and drop outs. Will be restored to campagnolo NR everything. The original paint isn't in bad shape but thinking about a different color. Should I repaint?
>>959195
Either repaint, get new handlebar tape or get a white seat for a tricolour scheme.
The red and blue don't really go together that well unless there's white included.

>>959149
They tend to crack if you live in a humid area (I live near the beach) the warranty is basically useless
And they're expensive for a saddle that cracks so quickly and gets stained by just the moisture present in the air
>>959142
Brooks saddles cost about 4 times the figure you had quoted as well. Roughly $160 saddles after tax
There are much more effective saddles for much cheaper
>>958976
Nice poverty mode material
>>959340
160 bucks is nothing though since they're so fucking comfy
also, my last b17 was less than a hundred new from ebay
>>959340
Yeah I don't think I would have paid that for one, but I found it on a sale rack for about a 1/3 of the going price and decided to get it. So far so good with it as well, it works great. What saddles are you referring to that are more effective and cheaper? When my brooks dies I don't think I want to spend 120 replacing it.

>>959357
probably. take it to your nearest LBS and ask them, or if you have any 700c wheels kicking around try to put them in the dropouts.
depending on the brakes you have and who makes your frame you might also have to replace or seriously adjust your brakes.

For the price I would recommend, at the price point I was able to buy all the bags and camping stuff under budget. Only two complaints is one, there is no 3rd bottle mount. Is the the gap on the chainstays and the tire is somewhat tight so you have to be pretty careful when putting the rear tire in or it will rub hardcore. Also the rear eyelets are reversed from standard and that can also cause rubbing. Other than that I've put about 500ish miles on it so far. Just got it a few months ago, doing mostly weekend trips nothing major. It's pretty great and personally I love the classic touring look.

What seatpost is that?
>>959080
Thank you for the response. Those Gevenalle levers are trick. The sis comment was mainly for the other guy but I ^also interested in your v brakes
>>959357
Yes. 700c wheels are 622 mm in diameter at the point where the bead seats onto the rim (this is the ISO designation commonly called the bead seat diameter or BSD). 27" wheels have a BSD of 630 mm.
Simple maths show that you would only need to move your brake pads down 4 mm to accommodate the new wheels (8 mm difference in diameter means that there is a 4 mm difference in radius). You might have to purchase new brakes if you cannot move the pads down far enough.
From your photo, it looks like you might have enough adjustment in the front and rear to make it work with your current brakes.
If your current brakes can't reach, consult your LBS or bike co-op on what to buy. I personally am a fan of Tektro's brake calipers for this kind of job, since they make them in a large range of reaches for both recessed and hex bolt mounting.

What's wrong with aluminium? Is it just the idea of somehow being more classic?
>>961326
Steel flexes. Aluminium either doesn't budge or bends permanently. There's a reason they don't make aluminium springs.
>>961413
>he actually believes this
>Tfw bent up rims and hubs and cranks and brakes and derailers and stems and bars
>>961417
I never said you can't permanently bend steel.
>>961413
So are you saying that flexible frames are a good thing? Even aluminium ones flex a minute amount (although less than steel) yet that doesn't cause them to snap.
I bet you think all carbon fibre is super fragile too.
>>961413
You retard. Aluminium springs don't work because of fatigue. Steel can flex without fatigue while aluminium pretty much can't. Plasticity is not the issue and aluminium does not behave the way you describe.
>>961421
How does it behave?
>>961422
Like I described. The fatigue threshold is so low is can't handle much deformation without weakening. This is unrelated to the plasticity threshold, and aluminium flexes back as long as the deformation does not pass this limit. The problem is it's likely to have weakened in the process while steel wouldn't.
>>961419
>So are you saying that flexible frames are a good thing?
Yes, some flex is preferable for cyclists that ride for enjoyment and don't race at a professional level (which happens to include 99.6% of /n/).
>>961424
>Steel can flex without fatigue while aluminium pretty much can't.
So it's behaving like I desctribed?
>>961428
No. You described plasticity. You fucking fail at backpedaling.
>>961429
I'm pretty sure we said basically the same thing and now you're pretending to sound smart when you made an idiot out of yourself.
>>961432
I'm pretty sure you're retarded and we said nothing even remotely similar. Yield, flex and fatigue. Look them up. You described immidiate yield and plastic deformation. This is wrong.
>dealwithit.gif
>>961429
The guy is a fucking moron, I gave him a test to do with a soda can before, and he refused because he was 100% sure he was correct.
>>961434
I don't give a shit about word definitions. We described the same thing.
You push on a steel rod, it flexes to a point then goes back to its original shape. You push on an aluminium rod, it doesn't until it does.
>>961437
>We described the same thing.
No we didn't.
>You push on an aluminium rod, it doesn't until it does.
No, it doesn't behave that way. That would be a yielding behaviour. Aluminium has an almost immidiate fatigue threshold, not an immidiate yield threshold. Fatigue means it weakens. Not that it deforms. That's yield.
>I don't give a shit about word definitions.
I can tell. It means you're completely unable to form any understanding of anything or participate in any meaningfull conversation, because you take pride in not knowing what the fuck you're talking about.
Pic related.
>>961437
Not true. All solid materials can flex to a certain extent without permanent plastic deformation, aluminium included. If that wasn't the case then aluminium frames would be stiffer than carbon fibre, infinitely so. They would not flex in the slightest and upon seeing forces that in real life causes them to flex they would instead shatter.
Why do people have such a hard time admitting they're wrong even though they're anonymous on the internet?

This would be funny if only it wasn't a plausible future reality...
>>961505
To be fair though, it would have a more positive impact than bicycle helmet laws so there's that.

>>961425
Hahaha! Are you SERIOUSLY posting a picture of an aluminum stem sliding off a steer tube to prove your "superior steel is reel" point!?!
Biggest boob of 2016 right here, everybody. I'm legit lmaoing at your life right now.

>I don't give a shit about word definitions.
So... You're retarded because you simply 'don't give a shit'...?
Impressive way to sound smart AND cool at the same time you fucking turbo pleb. Your fifth grade science professor is shaking his head & laughing right now.

I-I bet I'm faster than you, b-bitch!! :'(
>>961552
I wish. I only get to go fast in the flats where I'm at. But I'd be biku-twins with you, lil dude.
I passed some guy on an evo the other day and he complimented my bike, then tried to draft me but couldn't hang lel. I was fine with it, but I wasn't really looking to slow down my pace to drag him along. He didn't look like he rode too much anyways & I didn't recognize him from any local group rides. So idk how serious he is about gotta go fast anyways.

I'm loving that aero wing on the front of your car
>>961851
Thanks I've since sold it but Shawna was a real bad bitch. Rip in peace, lil girl.
Getting back to topic here's a steelieo frame I'm working on
>>961854

Here's biku:

Wow Florida must suck

Pic related, only one not to crack
>>958902
Seriously, man. Are you a smelly hobo? Fucking love that monster.
I love this thing so much.
>>961906
How did you get the bike to stand up vertical?
>>962007
hehe
>>962005
Is your bartape growing moss?
>>962007
I don't even know it's like magic
>>961906
Where the fuck did I say I lived in fucking Florida, you asshole?!
How do you like those giros, by the way? I was *this close* to getting them last year. They look fine, but I worry they're a little heavy and don't breathe as well as others.
How light is your cannonball? Mine clocks in at right about 17 lbs with the finishing kit.

>look ma, no hands!
>>962263
The giros are noice, only ones that fit me. Only like 60g I think heavier than the slx
>>962416
Very nice. They look classy af. I oughtta just get myself a pair anyways just cause they're so damn dapper...
Sometimes, & only SOMETIMES, I wish I were just a *little bit* shorter just for slightly better bike ratio/geometry.
The rest of the time I'm happy with being not a manlet.
Might grab pic related for $100. Good idea? It seems to be in fantastic condition.

As long as you're tall as fuck, sure
Fat tires and thiiiiiin pipes.

It's apparently 58cm/23inches. I'm 5'11. How bad will it be?
>>962665
Too small for you but you could probably make it work if you're desperate. Ask for the distance between the top tube and the ground and see if that's a few cm less than your innerseam. You don't absolutely need standover clearance but it's nice. You'd also be pretty stretched out on it reaching for those levers in the far distance.
It's not a great bike either.
>>962665
>>962669
how is a 58 cm frame too short for a 5' 11ยจ guy, seems to be about right.
It's my opinion that standover height clearance is not important only in the case of a pure road bike . If you intend to use the bike more like a light commuter clearance is more important as you will be coming to a full stop way more frequently and is very annoying to hit your balls everytime you do so
>>962665
Looks more like a 60-62, certainly too big for you
>>962526
I like your Peugeot.
>>962682
If it's actually a 58cm frame, it would be about right for a 5'11" dude. But who the fuck knows how the seller measured "58cm/23inches". Looking at the height of the toptube over the wheels, and the length of that fuckin' mondo headtube, that is a BIG frame; I'm guessing probably 62cm+
>>962682
If anything a 58 would be too big.
t. a 5' 11" (180 cm for you mr SI) dude
>>961945
I don't think smelly hobos can afford baller ebikes :) Yeah it's a fun beast though, handles great even at 90lbs.
>>959149
>leather saddle (leather is ruined by moisture, steam perspiration)
>hard as a rock
only a hipster would torture themselves to ride a rock hard leather saddle
>>962665
that headtube is too long to be a 58 cm frame. looks more like 61-63 cm. too big for you.
>>961906
You need to work on your bike propping skills bruh.
Also aluminum definitely cracks, just a little slower than carbon.
>>965549
Also drive side
