What a superb thing that Singer is. It's particularly pertinent for me coming from Coventry, - my old school, Coundon Court (well the 6th form) was George Singers house. Nothing was ever made of this at the time leaving me and my bike obsessed mates totally unaware...

It's the same yep. Also the treadless version of the standard Flexstem can be swapped into the Ti combo as pivot spacing is the same. I converted mine like this, no prob's

Yeah, from my experience all dimensions are exactly the same so they're interchangeable.

I like these, they're a big improvement over standard ones with the weight saving and extra damping of the Ti. Easily converted to threadless too, if you can find a donor Flexstem.

This arrived today. Never used them before so eager to see how they perform - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/177503645708

Lovely! but just to be pedantic, these ones are Icarus

It'd be pretty cool having a bike fully kitted out with that hey :D

Seems like your canti's come from the same 'The New Dimension' groupset ibbz - https://velobase.com/Pages/ViewComponent.aspx?ID=23C9FF5F-F9DB-4BC2-9810-66C51F6A56B4&Enum=117&AbsPos=1

Yeah there was at least one long cage/MTB mech. This one turns up sometimes and I think I've seen a slightly different version - https://www.disraeligears.co.uk/site/fir_nettuno_derailleur.html Front mech -...

Cool. I'm a big fan of Ti forks although the ride quality can vary a lot. My GT Edge Ti came with some and they were surprisingly stiff (and heavy). A Record Ti seat post would be nice. There's a NOS one here (27.2), labelled Chorus but they're identical I believe...

That's lovely. Are the forks Ti?

It does. I think they do a great job keeping the strands coherent which must be challenging. Most of their tracks seem to be covers specifically from the Shadows and Light live album which are quite different to the studio versions. I do like S&L but find it a bit disjointed ironically, with...

As a huge fan of Joni esp. her jazz influenced stuff, this British band is a great new discovery. Fab to hear those Jaco basslines played so well!

A rare mech this. There's a Pecker shaped hole in my derailleur collection but I can't see myself splashing out for this one... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/257165612554?

I wasn't knocking the Argos quality Nob, they clearly do a fantastic job and are really conscientious about their work. But I've been told by a few people that it can chip quite easily so isn't the best for an MTB. This cant be said of the several Mercian's I know from the 90s with apparently...

To be fair, I suspect Mercian were undercharging in the past. If they've retained the same standard then their resprays are superb quality and a lot more durable than comparatively priced Argos, from what I've heard. Still hard to reconcile the prices though.

I consider you Mr Mercian Paul. Doubt many on this site are as familiar with them as you

I always intended to get them to do a couple of frames from when I lived in Derby but never got round to it. Back in the mid-late 90s it was £40 + VAT for flamboyant ruby red! They were comparatively cheap then considering the quality.

Respray prices are insane now. Frame and forks in flamboyant or Italian pearl: £325. Fit makers transfers (transfers extra): £100!!! :oops:
