Gone: 26" QR disc brake wheel, rear, with broken freehub. Rim's still good (36h). I was using it reversed with the 6-bolt fixed sprocket. Free

Gone: Generic 700c QR disc brake wheel, front - I think the axle's ever-so-slightly bent (maybe a mm or so out at the rim) as this wheel was attached to a bike that was attacked by neds. But still works fine - I've no need for it. Free

Assorted shite - spokes, horrid pedals, stem bolts, etc. - all free

All collected in Gorgie if possible, evenings and weekends, or you can wait until I'm working from home one day. Or I can maybe bring things to Kirkcaldy on a weekday.

That chequered saddle is gross. Can I have it. I kinda want to see how gross it is in real life.

It's as horrid as it looks. Just as a bonus bit of nastiness the rails are red too. All yours! Will PM

Anyone here interested in a small (50cm seatpost, 53 top tube - need to confirm) ratty Dawes Galaxy frame and forks for £20? Its pretty rusty, I bought it like that from someone on the forum, but it has held up well and appears structurally sound.

Would make a good commuter. Send me a pm if you’re interested and I can send pics.

Got a picture? Maybe interested as a runabout for my girlfriend.

Yep, here it is in a bit of a strange, galactic porteur, set up. I'd probably keep most of the bits on it, including headset. But let me know if you really need anything and I'll see what I can find in the spare parts.

Should also say, if anyone has a similar frame (steel, cantilevers, and a bit run down) in 55-56 I'd be interested.

Do you like coffee? Do you want a robot to make it for you before you wake up? Then take this Lidl robot coffee machine off my hands (for free).

Works and everything and not had a lot of use but I only make one cup in the morning and space is at a premium, so I'm sticking with analogue coffee. Looks like this except white instead of black:

Finally, we have a moving date to come down off the hills into town

I’ll be glad to be joining you lot on the 11th

And promptly spamming the thread with various item for sells, once we have unpacked....

I'm in all day tm and this evening, just of the top of Broughton Street.

When my back and leg are better, I look forwards to some rides!

Ooh my ortlieb is falling apart - how much would you like for yours?

say £35 a pannier?

Are they "classic"? With the shoulder strap down to the clip near the base, like this:

Yes they are

I actually have two sets for some reason, so added them in to the list and also a disc specific tubus rack

Edit moved to PM.

Any recommendations for a decent bike shop in town?

Completely new to the Edin bike shop game

Want to get the Trainbiek rebuilt and dynamo rewired

Also dreaming up a hills route in town for when i'm back riding....

Eastside might be your local bike shop. Cadzow place. Just a short jaunt down London Road from Broughton St.

GTD is a nice bike shop too.

@bazschmaz & @motoko

Thanks, I'll check them both out.

Bring the the Talbot too, you know, so they can remove that freewheel.

LoL

The Talbot SS will stay that way, but i might bring it up for some winter lanes/city hills action while the TrainBiek gets put back together, because I know that the minute someone with spanners looks at it, all of my bodges will dissolve in front of their eyes....

SS / fixed in winter = easy maintenance!

Innit, that and massive social media points obvs

The Bicycle Works has been good to me in the past
