bing Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 The seatpost is 27.2, and the clamp is 31.8. I've just had to get one for my zebdi build. As for the headset, I've got one of these on my mod, it's basically a Chinese cheap king copy, works just fine though, and only a tenner posted http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RABID-SEALED-BEARING-ANODISED-1-1-8-HEADSET-MOUNTAIN-AND-ROAD-BIKES-/221360541273?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&var=&hash=item338a1dce59 I have some maxxis ardent tyres, 26x2.25 very good tread if you are interested 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshole82 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 UKHippY you always like my updates and new parts - its much appreciated dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 honestly, because I love build threads, and it reminds me for my previous bike cheap/used parts, I always had something faulty or not correctly working, but I learned loads of things, and now it is so hard to sell it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshole82 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I have the build thread bug from years on car forums! Its not quite so hot over on bike forums though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 well, I have my build thread as well, it has only one problem, no parts yet as I am very short on money Dan2707 and harmertrials usually make quite good build threads:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshole82 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Mines done mate Just seen it, can't wait till I get mine built up too! There doesn't seem to be many about what are your plans for the rest of the stuff? No idea. Tyres grips and cables are the main things. I'd like to upgrade the pads too. Funds are running low though, with a wedding to buy and 2 cars both broken this month I'm a little short! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
