Orient Express - Cheap Chinese Rims / Wheels / Forks / Frames / Cranks / Etc

I went with Light Bicycle. 50mm laced to Novatec hubs. Very happy with them.

Nah. As is.

+1 for LB

+2 for LB. 3 orders, happy with all of them.

So does the forum light bicycle group buy have an organiser/list?

Edit: @TomvanHalen, i can't help but be drawn to gloss 3k. What's wrong with me?

Prognosis isn't good. Only cure is UD matte.

The Frogskins I got had the logo pre-tippexed.

@croft Have you tried to remove the lenses on yours yet ? I wondered if you could take the lenses out the same way on the Chinese tributes as you can on the originals. Only had mine a few days so haven't chanced it yet

So the eBay POCs turned up, not at all bad for the money. Come with prescription lens holder, spare lens, hard case, soft bag.

BUT....

I ordered them whilst drunk/tired so I ordered the wrong ones. These are the POC do half blades NOT the full blades. Does anyone want them for what I paid for them? Tried on once in the house to see how handsome I look in them. Answer: very
They're white upper frame and green arms.
Holla at me with your paypal'd £12 💷 and I'll try get to the post office one lunchtime
If not then the little 'un gets to wear them whilst playing with his NERF guns

Have ordered the correct ones to look even more handsome in

Anyone order carbon wheels from "Cycling-Cycling" or "good_sports" on eBay ? After some 50-60mm tubs. Both claim to ship from the UK and have positive feedback. Cheaper than the usual suspects when you take into account shipping and potential customs charges

Alrighty, we have an issue, as I sorta crashed tonight due to some idiot trying to kill me and my mate n the commute home and I ended up running into the back of my mate, so therefore I think it is time to put forward my idea of rebuilding the wheelset. So I need a show of hands who wants to go in with the light-bicycle rims by the end of the week.

@amey
@TTM

and whoever is interested please. This is purely we can spilt the cost of delivery and worst case import tax...

What the shit?

Are you doing a rims only order or whole wheels a possibility as well?

PS - Sorry to hear about your crash. Hope you and bike are ok with no cracks.

Hope you're ok.

Let me ponder overnight about the rims. I'm quite tempted, but have spent a bit recently on group set and stuff so need to be sensible.

Skinsuit wasn't damaged! :)

Well it's up to you, if you want wheels you can pay for it, I'm just getting rims for a rebuild of the current front and rear wheel (granted I'll be converting it to fixed)

No worries, I'll give everyone the end of the week to make sure they want to commit.

@swedeee you still up for it, ideally I just want four people including me to get this order done.

Hope you are ok dude. Any details? Reported to police?

I am out, need to divert funds to another project

No worries, yeah fine, just the front wheel is out of true now, so kinda pissed off about that. Let me know if you change your mind.

Commuting in a skin suit?

yes i am but won't be in london for a while so unsure if it would be worth it!

Standard

On trend for a/w 2016.

Cool, no worries. PM me if you have a change of heart before Friday.

how much is shipping normally?
