LOOK - Look at them!

The KG233s in track flavour were worth quite a lot a few years back.

has there ever been a bike frame that has gone up in value?

Maybe. How much do want to pay me for a 1948 Rotrax? I have the original receipt for £14.19/- 🙂

I can't think of any either i know mines rare but not rare enough so i suppose only one offs and those ridden by some legend to win a particular race are the only ones to fetch good money. But you never know in 20 years time mine might be worth a tenner more than i paid for it if I'm lucky.

*adjusted for inflation

just slipped wheeling my KG176 down the stairs, landed on the saddle and sheared the seatpost. livid. anyone selling / got any recommended 25 mm replacements...?

25 mm? Setback or diameter

diameter

Sorry ive got several with 25 setback but nothing that skinny

slipped wheeling my KG176 down the stairs, landed on the saddle and sheared the seatpost

Better in the house than out on the road 😐

yes definitely. although i can't help but wish that i'd 'earned it' and not just... stood on a sock

got any recommended 25 mm replacements...?

The forum's own @thecycleclinic has #tester_approved Kalloy SP-248 in 25.0 to get you back on the road during the long wait for something more #tartmode in that size.

Wow, proper Indra moment.

You think it is repairable?

DA does one in 25mm

Howdy all, I’ve bought two different alloy 25mm posts from eBay (a black BBB for my KG381 and a silver ‘etc’ for an Alan) and both seem fine, both were under £10...

I’ve managed to source an ergo post but reading above and generally on the internet they seem to be fairly easy to break - is this right? Should I bother buying one for £50? Seller and I have agreed to pause sale until he’s able to post it given current world situation etc...

Sadly completely shredded. Those dura ace ones are nice, I'll keep a look out. In the meantime I've bought an sp-248 (thanks tester) while I wait for something worthwile

The clamp is proper shite and slips constantly. I wouldn't read too much into the durability from my post, I fell about ten stairs with the bike and planted my weight directly onto the post. I am also sure they'd break with less. But they look good innit

I glad I’ve kept the DA one now as I also wanted to get a Look one too. Might have dodge a bullet there.

Want to take the one I’ve got dibs’d? Might walk away as I’m building mine as a beater/commute machine and £50 on a seatpost is probably the wrong way to go for me...

Yeah maybe it's stupid but I think I would . I'll pm you

.

one generation of ergopost got a full recall in I think 2003 for its propensity to snap. mine's still intact, but I might be right in thinking I've never actually sat on it.

This looks like a decent deal;

First, YOU(the british) have the best music in the world!
Hi, my name is Clement i live in the south west of France.
I just visit your website sometimes since August 2019 because of the bikes you have and the stuff you sell !
Let's post my LOOK bikes here:

KG 171

AL 264 CX... If you have one frame size 55, I'll buy it to you because i broke mine....

LOOK KG 296

2nd version :)

Have a nice day!

That's a good start, now you need a steel one in the mix.

I already have one but that’s an old Harry Middleton purple TT frame and fork

That 296 in pursuit mode. So good.
