An insane bargain that is local tht I can’t afford right now. But seems stupid to let pass. Literally nowhere to store it over winter.

Under your bed?

It’s also the fact it would be bike number 5. Which is a bit of a stretch in a 1st floor 2bed flat.

Said fuck it and messaged him, someone else had just messaged before me :((

Buyer has fallen through on the Planet X. Waiting with bated breath to see if I can collect tonight or if someone else has nabbed it!

Bosh!

Yes!

A powermeter too!?

Got to go under the hour now.

Memories...
That is quite a bargain. Great turbo bikes too.

Hah yes I started on a PX too. Or was it a Dolan? Either way, solid start!

Yeah, no guarantee that it works - he said he had trouble connecting to it. But also admitted he hadn’t tried much to make it work. Came with a set of dura ace cranks as well.

He also admitted he thought he underpriced it, but judging by his very lovely house - I don’t think he needed the dollars (which of course I appreciated). He seemed relieved to be rid of it considering the onslaught of messages he’d had. I couldn’t believe the other buyer bailed!

Tubs or clinchers?

Tubs - but I think I’ll survive ;)

Nice arm rests too? They’ll have cost nearly £100 new surely. Bargain. Nice work

Bargain! First sub-hour 25 must be a nailed-on cert now...

They’re too narrow for my Neanderthal forearms!

@Brommers - don’t jinx it!

You can train to get comfortable in a narrow setup, it's pretty rubbish but for most people it's faster...

I can handle the narrow position, but the circumference of my forearms is too big!

Precision-fit... You'll make em work.

Score!!

Sell them and get some more open ones? I’d buy them to try

Is there an easy fix for this? Araldite do the job?

That’ll help to stop the crack spreading. Would be a very easy job for someone who’s done some carbon repair to add some reinforcement.

I assume it’s from the previous owner forcing the pump on. What’s the best way to avoid it in future?
