do they do discounts on multiple frames? or, perhaps, only if they're the same colour?? reason i'm asking is i and a friend have 3-4 frames we may do next week, so if others are also wanting to get frames done, perhaps we could get a group discount.

thoughts - pj especially, i guess ;-)

i want to get frame done. however, i have to get FUCKING RIGHT SIDE of bottom FUCKING bracket out.

has destroyed chisel, also broken tool at AW Cycles.

hmm, perhaps angle-grinding is actually in order?

I am picking my frame up tomorrow, they were really helpful.

Is there website.

pj (pj) · 19th March 2008

how much was it?

It is 45 for just the paint I think, or 60 including a clear coat of some sort. Steve told me this doesn't necessarily help with durability, but it does look much nicer.

Oooh, I had the same problem resulting in the frame sitting under my desk for weeks. I took it into Cavendish Cycles and there massive bike mechanic wrestled it out with a bike wrench.

keep you money pj, you've got other nice bikes!

pj (pj) · 19th March 2008

??

so have you, and you dropped £250 big ones on the holdsworth....

and it looks great.

maybe i could just dremmel it and then paint it myself. that would be pretty fucking ghetto.

that was a worthwhile frame and 10x worse than that. only £175 anyway :p

dale, let the man do what he wants to his bike!

pj (pj) · 19th March 2008

i know; i meant to edit it to say that clearly it was worth it in that case.

HOWEVER...

the carlton cost buttons. i plan to get it sprayed so it looks nice, then lugline it myself, then build it up really cheap.

is that so bad?

i recommend using the heatgun to expand the bb shell and then clasicc bb tool or hammer and screwdriver........for the bb cup removal that is...

bracestower · 20th March 2008

Have you tried the homemade Sheldon Brown fixed cup removal tool? It does actually work. We just used one here at work to remove a stuck cup on an old Peugeot.

If you're anywhere near Farringdon, we still have the tool in the office...

pj (pj) · 20th March 2008

can i borrow it? i thought about making one myself...

bracestower · 20th March 2008

Should be ok - need it back pretty pronto though as it's not mine. Alternatively, bring the fucker here and we'll give it a go.

pj (pj) · 20th March 2008

i'm goign to try a vice this weekend. if that doesn't work i'll give you a shout.

Got my frame back from the guys today, really nice job and well worth the money. When I have it built up I will post some pictures. The only annoying thing about picking my frame up today was the terrible weather and the stabbing which had closed a road in hackney, took hours to get back on the bus!

pj (pj) · 20th March 2008

people always get stabbed/ jump under tubes/ die horribly at really inappropriate times.

it's so incredibly inconsiderate.

Exactly what I thought, think I will write to Ken and complain.
