I'm pretty sure the forks are carbon - here's a big picture:</p> <p><a href="http://www.algorhythmical.co.uk/nicebigbike.jpg">big picture</a></p> <p>@DaveC - thanks - is it ok if I covertly covet the bike? (Apologies - I am a pedant) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11365#post-128439 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 14:42:15 +0000 DaveC 128439@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Amir, a mate of mine also has that frame and forks on order from Spa. He is selling an old Holdsworth with rear facing dropouts on Ebay and because of the demand for fixed bike frames, he may to get what he paid for his new frame and forks!</p> <p>@op (algo), nothing wrong in coverting another riders bike, so long as all you do is covert it... :D </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11365#post-128435 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 14:34:49 +0000 kaputnik 128435@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>According to the Bob Jackson website, 631 comes in regular and oversized tubesets. It only comes as main tubes, the stays have to be from another part of the Reynolds family.</p> <p>Is the fork above Carbon? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11365#post-128430 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 14:19:19 +0000 Cyclingmollie 128430@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nice looking bike. The down tube doesn't look like it has a round cross section though. Is that possible with 631? I would find a black ITM Millennium stem to match the seat post though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11365#post-128428 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 14:18:10 +0000 amir 128428@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've got a 725 steel frame on order from Spa (see <a href="http://www.spacycles.co.uk/products.php?plid=m2b0s143p2828)" rel="nofollow">http://www.spacycles.co.uk/products.php?plid=m2b0s143p2828)</a>. It has good reviews and I have test ridden one made up. It's very comfortable, quick enough and surprisingly light. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11365#post-128424 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:55:56 +0000 kaputnik 128424@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Depends if you're talking about an off-the-peg frame of that style, or a custom build, which this may well be.</p> <p>There will be a big difference in price. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11365#post-128421 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:48:39 +0000 algo 128421@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>first off apologies if this is your bike and I'm infringing privacy, however at some point when I win the lottery I'd love a better bike for going longer distances - I saw this outside OPD4 at the Hospital today - it's a thing of great beauty in my opinion... unmarked frame (reynolds 631 and carbon forks I think) is exactly what I want to build from - anybody have any ideas about it? My bike is behind - I feel bad about coveting another bike in its presence, maybe I'll treat it to some grease...</p> <p><img src="http://algorhythmical.co.uk/nicebike.jpg"> </p>
