Due to an issue of space I need to get rid of my blue ribble asap. Bought second hand in my first month in London 2012 this has been used and abused as a winter training bike, commuter, and chained up pub whip to fly home on. It is in a very bad way after being lent to a nice but disrespectful friend who has further abused it over the last six months. I don't have the time at the moment to make it nice again. Please take it and thrash it round London for a forum donation and a few beers
The deets
52 ctc seattube, 56 centre to top
56 top tube
SORA indexed, tyres which retain air
The good
Blue legendary frame
SORA which changes gear and working brakes
fine look pedals
can therefore peddled away depending on your height (see below)
The bad
Years of abuse. For many years I kept the drivetrain looked after but probably hasn't been replaced for 1-2k km
The seatpost is currently stuck but no attempt has been made to change this as weirdly my friend has identical length legs I'm sure this would move with some effort. Currently 75cm from bottom bracket to top of saddle
front derailleur mystery. Bike returned to me with a tight front derailleur cable which is so tight it's rubbing on the down tube?!
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >
Mention another user by @username
For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
