Was looking at old steel roadie frames on ebay but it's v hard to judge what would take modern components, wheels etc, and fit :-/ </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5764#post-64055 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 12:28:57 +0000 crowriver 64055@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>'Stoater', 'Stooshie', and 'Skinnymalinky'!

Sorry, SRD. </p> <p>@Kap, I think the disc is already quite pretty. Not that disc in particular, I mean all of them.</p> <p>I'm working under the assumption, which is plucked from thin air, that the pattern on disc brakes is like tread on a tyre in that within generous limits, it doesn't matter what it is. So in time we may see some real art creeping in there. </p> <p>If you object to the brake pad mech, then I agree. Fugly and probably unfixably so. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5764#post-62112 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 22:11:03 +0000 kaputnik 62112@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>what a handsome bike!
