My wife recently described my autism as "Neurospicy". As a result I have started referring to those who are not neurodiverse as "Neurovanilla." It is a term I hope will catch on.

Would you consider posting it? My 11 year old daughter is coveting my raw aluminium Jack Flash and this could be my replacement.

It’s not that exciting, or a good picture. But here you go.

Would you consider selling the rotor? If so, what size is it and is it 6 bolt?

Which one? There are several decals on the top tube #BeMoreMike “My Dealer Ran Out Of Gears” and “One F***ing Speed” are the visible ones, I think?

Inspired by finding @konasexthreerider’s thread, here’s my DeKerf Singlespeed thread. I bought the frame after my friend, the late Mike Hall, let me have a ride on his. “You have to have a ride on my singlespeed. It’s brilliant fun.” Then “You’ll get up there. Use the power of ‘Bwaaarrrrp!’”...

I have had the same frame from new since 1999, when I was inspired to get one by having a go on the chocolate brown one owned by the late Mike Hall. We spent many happy evenings and Sundays charging round on them. Mine has been anything but a garage queen. I rode the snot out of it, riding all...

As my Kiwi mates might say, "Cool as."

Numpty! ;-p

Good work. A bit of pedantry, I think your Sky is a 1992 model. It was only sold in 2 countries (as Breezer's "Entry Level" bike), Canada and here in the UK. Here it was £600 retail. Here's a picture of mine, recently "repurposed" as a gravel-y bike and commuter

Strange as it may sound, it maybe worth looking on Rugby player groups? In the early 90's I was working in John's Bikes in Bath and sold a bunch of "very big" Trek Singletrack steel framed mountain bikes (I can't remember the listed frame size, but it was the biggest Trek did and WAY too big...

Thanks for looking Jonny, I already have a 34t suitable for a non-boost bike (which is what I'll use it for - NX crank going onto my Planet-X Jack Flash pump track singlespeed). Sorry to have wasted your time on a futile hunt. The next time I'm down your way, I'll be sure to pop into your shop...
