Any question answered...

Was just thinking that myself. Probably still worth checking Condor out though.

Saddle question.

I'm currently trialling a Fizik Antares VS. It's only been a couple of days, but it seems good so far. I shall wait a week or so more before making my mind up, but:

What about the Ardea VS? Looks to be essentially the same fit but half the price. Such things matter to me as I have a few bikes, and spending over a hundred pounds per saddle will soon add up. But it doesn't seem to exist according to the Fizik website. Is it an old model? Am I missing something here?

Where can I get nice barrel adjusters for a pair of dura-ace calipers that are missing them?

thanks

i didn't get on with the antares vs, it felt like i was sitting on the rails themselves

Strange. I quite like it. I guess everyone's different. I've not given it a proper long ride yet, mind.

What did you switch to?

I need a 130-135 mm 1,25" stem. I'd like it to be cheap, as I'm still trying to get the fit right. So far the only options seem to be Giant OD2 oem stuff at around £75, Syntace F119 at around €110 and Ritchey WCS 44 at around £50. Am I missing something cheaper somewhere?

Noted. Cheers.

Im aware of the ink rip-off.

Somewhat controversial source for 'the best' of whatever

Where would you live in london if you were cycling to E2 for work, and your partner was public transporting to shepherds bush?

And only have a budget of 1000-1100 for rent a month

Made assumptions about how long you were willing to pedal/sit on a tube for.

130 in white for £33, but yeah, they are generally expensive

Look around Finsbury Park/Green Lanes or Cally Rd. Was affordable when I was there (a while back, admittedly) and I enjoyed the area.
e.g., 2

cheers 6pt, yeah, those areas were where i was hoping to be headed, gna try convince my gf stoke newington is also worth trying as i like it there,

got a few months till we move yet so just trying to get an idea of locations

Good luck finding somewhere in N16 on that budget! Maybe try Seven Sisters/Tottenham Hale/Walthamstow area. Cheaper, good links thanks to the Victoria Line and not an awful commute for you.

On another Walthamstow note, does anyone know of a good bike shop in the area? I've been here a while but haven't used one yet. I did quite like Reservoir Cogs/E17 Cycles but that seems to be closed.

Weinmann Vainqueur centre-pull brakes - any good? I need some long reach (70mm at the rear, 65mm at the front) brakes, preferably from the late 70s/early 80s. I appreciate they're going to be nowhere near as effective as modern double-pivot sidepulls, but are there any better options out there?

I've just picked up a second hand turbo trainer, where it clamps to the bike the little cups are both circular as opposed to one having the slot cut in for the QR skewer.

Where can I find the part to adapt this trainer for a road bike?

Bought a turbo specific skewer from eBay!

Just what the fuck is going on?

Clearly you havent been to a desert safari in a 4x4

Not found anywhere in Walthamstow, but I've used Clever Mike in Finsbury Park a couple of times and would recommend him.
