  1. Tis the L'Esprit mixte I built for my wife, and yes a Sram P5 hub... and a shit photo for your viewing pleasure;
  2. The keg is for the gravity fed home brew setup we are setting up edit; if he gets a fiddy for those I should have this on TM for $500
  3. More pointless shit acquired, this one for free;
  4. Paint is for pussies. For example your gaffa tape seat solution is exactly as far as that covering needs to go, anything further would be caring too much.
  5. Ok I'll swap you for a dozen beers and a years free bicycle advice
  6. TBH I would be all over this, but I am still on my learners (and have been for the past 25 years lol) and the biggest CB allowed on the new list is a CB550...
  7. haha lols edit; defos go the white chain for max hipsterishness.
  8. Fucking hipster
  9. Finished yet?
  10. Sweet ta, I will give them a ring tomorrow.
  11. Finding one that has been looked and is reasonable money is proving problematic. In reality I would be happy with one as rough as guts as long as it was mechanically sound...
  12. Am quite taken with the notion of this landcruiser; http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/toyota/auction-508761077.htm I want to get it checked out by a competent mechanic (compression/leakdown/etc) before getting too carried away, who is the man for this? If it checks out I will then make my way down there to have a first hand look....
  13. I have been looking at vx landcruisers with the 1hdt, they fucking rule. My Merc needs one tbh. Yet to find a sound vx for sensible money tho.
  14. That is looking sweet
  15. You are a mechanical engineer, stop fucking with things you are constitutionally unable to understand.
  16. It would be a bit pointless TBH, all they do is give you a stop point as you pull the axle back, which is infinitely more useful on a derailleur bike due to all the gubbins needing alignment to stay the same if you take the wheel off. I never bothered on any SS I have had.
  17. i would go with the milazo just on the basis that it has eyelets for mudguards... Also the shifter brazons probably wont have a hole, but no guarantees.
  18. Chainrings are called biopace, the shit back in the 90's. Longbike has one on it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biopace
  19. http://twlnz.co.nz/ These bishes will have pretty much everything you need
  20. That is super lush, I am so jealous
  21. http://www.trademe.co.nz/sports/cycling/road-bikes/large-57cm-over/auction-505208524.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/sports/cycling/road-bikes/other/auction-504447553.htm
  22. Ha, I went to change the raggedy belts on my Merc goon, opened the bonnet, looked at the actual situation, then drove it to the mechanic to do.
  23. Triumph heralds have leaf spring independent rear.... but not in a good way.
  24. So I just got it back from Kevin Burt who are the local independant Merc people, seems to run ok, but all he did was clean the dizzy cap and put a new set of plugs in it. So I have ordered a set of leads from Startech anyway, figured it wouldnt hurt to replace them... He said the oil leak was just as much from the head gasket as the seal, so he left it alone. Probably need to find a crashed E320 and swap some shit out.
  25. It is in with the little man now, told him to just fix it all.
