Mostly I'm saying use good tools to do it, not a 6" long random spanner made of chrome plated cheese.

If Surly was a guy, you'd be gay.

Picked up a new project thismorning.

It's a Capo frame, handcrafted by Milton Jones. Definately an 80's bike. Anyone know anything about these frames?

Tis nice and light, got a few goodies on it too, should end up nice.

 

[hubbie]

threw some 27" wide flat bars on my fixie for a change, and it's like a new bike! I'm used to 28"+ bars on my bmx, so the extra width is welcome, and good for hillclimbing. feel much safer on it than twitchy drops. just need new lever and decent grips.

 

[g-fish]

That's such an amazing looking bike.

 

[hubbie]

Thanks man! It's so amazing to ride. I wanna draw on it with textas, give it a name and a head-badge, but also wanna keep it simple. dunno. I think texta might be hard to metho off satin paint, so I may control myself.

Buy some 3M clear protective tape and stick that one, then write onto that, if you get bored just peel the tape off.

Wondering if anyone can tell me the best place/person to get a Flite100 in Sydney ? And how much I should be able to get one for?

Anyone have any idea??

Does anybody know somewhere that I can get my frame media-blasted in the city in Sydney?

Somewhere cheap would be especially good.

There's gotta be plenty of places in the industrial areas of Alexandria and the inner-west....??

Any tips?

 

[Tomas]

I found one in Hornsby thru the yellow pages. Just goto YP online and give a few places a call. There are hundreds of places in Syd that can do it.

Nice frame G-fish.

Where'd you pick it up from?

 

[g-fish]

Off the streets of annandale. It would be up there with some of my best street finds. I plan on eventually getting a surly steamroller and either selling this or building a very fast TT style bike.

Whoa... so I guess it is the wrong size for you, by a lot.

It is the right size: Hipster size.

I've been doing a bit of work on my new project bike. Stripped it down, rebuilt some stuff and did some polishing. Frame is a Capo. Shimano 600 stem. Cinelli bars. Superbe Pro crankset. Zeus seatpost. Whacked a San Marco saddle on there.

I did some research and found that the frame is handmade in Western Australia by a retired engineer who resides in Willagee.
