• £20 collected from Tooting Bec/Balham

    What was this?
    A Giant Expression N3 townbike (eh, the ‘N3’ stands for Nexus 3, not Finchley...). It had IGH and rollerbrakes, plundered long ago and donated to LFGSS folk.

    What is this?
    It’s a surprisingly light, 6061-framed, single speed that I built from the parts trash mound to ride London to Brighton on (via The Downs Link), but now it's taking up headspace/shed space. It’s comfy, laid back, and ugly-as - perfect town/pub/station bike that only a fool would steal. I am 6' 3" and found it fun to pedal around. Ride it into the ground, or strip it for parts.

    More pics if you want. But really.

    Spec:
    Giant Expression N3 6061 frameset size: L (tt 57, st 48)
    Kalloy Uno (ULTRALIGHT!) stem, flatbar, Cannondale grips, generic brake levers.
    no-name ‘sporty’ saddle. FWE alloy seatpost. Tubus rear rack.
    Ambrosio crankset, 48t ring, Shimano 16t freewheel, Coda SPDs.
    Tektro 559 front, Acor rear, I'll chuck in the bare Tektro 559 rear too, new cables.
    odd 630 wheelset - no-name flipflop rear with alu rim, Weinmann front rim/hub - 32-630 Marathons

    NOTE: The rear wheel has a fixable wobble that I don't have the time/patience to sort out.
