Exactly my thinking, rourke will be bike number 6 and frankly thats enough. The giant will go straight back out for sale probably

did you check if it has cinelli branded lugs yet?

Sell me the Giant for £55.

its 62cm mind, and it's actually got me £65 because it's got to be posted to me. Offers over £100 are welcomed

If you can tell me make and model I may well be interested.

£66

PP, that offer for a free chainstay protector is still on. I need rid of the thing. Want it?

Oh right yeah, thanks, might be interested but I'd like to see see how it goes with the home made one. I put a good 15 minutes into making it so I am a little bit attached, at least for now. Whereabouts are you?

Nice stem there XH...

Sorry dude, it was just a mock up.... waiting for planet x to deliver mine!

Its a Giant CFR Expert, bright yellow, I might keep it so we'll see. I would make a sales thread on here, but its a dick move to buy off ebay and sell for a profit on here.

Harrow, but I can chuck it in the post if you PM me your address.

Di2 front mech exerts a lot of force- to the degree that Campag sells a reinforcement kit for braze on fittings on carbon frames to avoid the cracking seen in my band.

It sounds abit weird (to me whos not an engineer..) that it should exert alot more force. Seem to me the only force it would need to exert is the resistance in moving the fd cage with chain in it.

Im not doubting it, just my head cant wrap around why, thats all.

The Di2 just slams the mech across, no force feedback like you get with cable actuation on proper dérailleurs. If you're ham-fisted, you can probably do as much damage with a conventional set up.

It's a dick move to buy off here and sell for a profit on ebay. The other way round, not so much. Hilary Stone's whole modus operandi is putting work into searching out bargains in other market places and bringing them to LFGSS, and nobody complains. People will tell you soon enough if you're trying to make too much profit, but you should feel comfortable about at least getting your money back plus a bit for your trouble.

uhhh mine

...However, there was a reason it was so cheap:

But thankfully it'll only cost me £35 to get it fixed, so its still a bargin...

Where are you getting it done? Everywhere I've looked quote a lot more for fitting a new dropout.

^^ Stop posting that bloody thing you're worse than apollo

I post my bike in my own thread.

Ryan Oak said 80 notes for a single, 110 for both and Rourke himself is 95 for both. Once again value-vaz is the man to talk to.

Bought this little Colnago frame a while ago.

Those were the sort of prices I'd found.

Might get Mario to repaint it while it's down there.

Can you let me have Mario's brother's contact details please.

^^Damn Sheldon that is lovely
