South East beers - Tuesdays @ The Roebuck, SE1 4YG

I believe they also do a 'classic look' rival which is silver but it's less popular.
(a google suggests now discontinued)

Hmm, that's pretty much what I'd figured. Black would look better on that frame...

I need another cardboard wheelbox. Anybody got one spare?

s900 cranks are your answer. understated decals, sit in the range above rival but (just) below force.

Hmm, I'm not sure I need carbon cranks, I think the all black 2012 Rival cranks would be plenty good enough for me. Plus blacker. Decisions, decisions...

no carbon? don't you want to go fast?!

None of us NEED carbon, but want is another thing...

Force cranks for pretty much the same price as those rival ones

the silver ones are the 09 version I think.

I do want to go *fast *Tom, but this is tempered by finite financial reserves and an appreciation of the law of diminishing returns on bicycle componentary :)

Am trying to open up an additional credit line at the moment which would help, we'll see what happens.

What I would want in an ideal world is the SRAM Red Black groupset and Mavic Ksyrium SLRs, but that would probably be a bit silly. I would probably prefer to get better wheels and an adequate modern groupset though, as I will be comparing whatever I get against 1994 Dura Ace, so it's going to be a significant improvement anyway.

Anyway, when I've picked it up I'll start a thread in current projects to prevent further pollution of the SE beers thread...

Don't go for the Mavics. Waste of money. Although the Exalith stuff is sexy.
I've got an audax-suitable Ultegra triple lying around failing to sell...

Yes, looked like a good price. Poor listing dividend.
For the money you could have had this, though...

(current want, but it's too small)

I saw that then very very quickly pressed CTRL+W.

So, it begins with V and rhymes with gloria, who fancies the Victoria?

^you doing grand slam tomorrow? I has that rear brake in my saddlebag if you're interested still.

Not 100% on the grand slam as i'm watching the rugby premiership final at Twickenham so will need to see what time i get back SE and where you lot are. Yeah still interested mate :-)

i shall restrain myself from swapping it for beer until you have had a look at it then...

cool cheers mate!

Postcode? Was gonna suggest Reej

Se15 4ar

Cheers bud. I'll prolly be along if that's the craic

I am going to ride to the seaside tomorrow I think. Plan to leave pretty early (from mine at 8am) and not stop too much to get beach time.

Thinking about Bexhill-on-Sea because I want to see the De La Warr Pavilion or Seaford.

Anyone interested?

I need another cardboard wheelbox. Anybody got one spare?

Me.

^^would have been keen but I got a ride in y'day, the Dark Star brewery hosted a party and BBQ for cyclists with roller racing and jerseys and tools on sale. Nice undulating route through Kent and Surrey

Anyone having a bbq or anything today? Just finished work and got nothing to do.

@ Si - are you in tomorrow? Feel like I haven't seen you in ages! Its on my way home from work at 19.30 so would be rude not to...
