I'm super tired so apologies for typos etc.
No postage. Collection from New Cross area.
First off is a lovely Boardman Comp SC frame.
I got this dipped in corrosive shit to strip off the paint. I also attacked it with with dremel to take off all the white stuff that makes the joints looks smooth.
This frame stinks of function. Check out the mudguard and rack mounts!
I crashed pretty spectacularly on this and thought that I fucked the carbon forks (the frame was fine). I checked them again and they look completely fine and I continued to ride on them. I'm going to chuck these forks in for free but just to be safe I wouldn't recommend riding them, although I would and have been. Forks and frame are drilled for brakes. Headset and seat collar included.
56cm st - 56cm tt

Ribble road frame.
Battered but keeps on going. Lots of scrapes and patches covered with hammerite but as far as I can tell, no dings. Carbon wishbone seat stay. Nice and light. I used this as a commuter for year or so. Loved it but sadly it's too big for me. If it was the right size I'd keep it. Uno seat collar and 105 front mech (double) included.
58cm st - 57.5cm tt

Ricoh GRDIII digital camera.
I was going to go down the 'if you know about this camera then you know how good it is' route but instead I'm going to smugly link to another man's review, click the picture below.
I've had this for about two years, it's had infrequent use - touring a couple of times and holidays etc. Excellent condition.
Comes with case and original box, instructions and replacement non-original charger.
SOLD
Aiguille 'Dru' Rucksack.
These are incredible rucksacks. Super tough. Hand made in England in Cumbria.
I bought this and used it twice. Reason for sale is that I have a long back and this rucksack is a medium, when carrying a lot of weight I can really tell as it sits too high on the arch of my back. I bought a cheapo karrimor from on here when I realised this was to short for me. It's in pretty much as new condition.
It was £129.95 new.
