looks like a pretty good bike for polo at first glance? price might be the only slight issue

has anyone got some 14mm to 10mm axle adapters?

they sometimes come with new hubs or forks, like this

I'm in the market for a 56cm geared road bike. Give me a shout if anybody is looking to sell theirs.

what sort of money are you wanting to spend rob?

what sort of money are you wanting to spend rob?

initially around 500 but happy to go more/less depending on how i feel about the bike.

Ideally something similar to Ben's Look or Morgan's Colnago. Lovely bikes.

Does anyone have a bike stand? More for storage than for work, but ideally something that will take 2 bikes. Something along the lines of this...

Rob, keep looking about on eBay. I payed a fucking pittance for that Colnago and it's going to take a lot of miles for me to need a better bike. Cycle to Work scheme got Ste his awesome Cannondale and Planet X are always pretty decent on price.

Bring the M'cr Road Posse!

Theres a couple of Dutch guys on here too who sell some beautiful stuff for good prices and they post. Or just bide you time on eBay.

Ikea's stolmen storage system is pretty nifty for wall-less storage, not that cheap but pretty useful and extensible...

Morgan, im gonna get one of these i think for our house, we can do another ikea trip if you want?

I’m looking to get a more comfortable saddle for my steel langster as it’s doing a lot of mileage at the moment. The otp saddle just does not suit me. Has anybody used a Brooks B17 before and if so how do you rate it? Suggestions for other saddles also appreciated.

I’ll most likely be buying one new but if anybody has one to sell then make me an offer.

rob: as we discussed today, you'll need to break inna brooks... once you've done it, theyre comfortable if a little on the hefty side

i mentioned an arione - theyre kinda pricey, but this is a more affordable copy...

i dont work for them any more so i cant be accused of schilling, but definately consider a more contempary saddle...

my two cents

Flite...

I'm into Flites too.

Any one got a decent rear mtb disc wheel for sale needed asap?

in the short term, a brooks b17 will not provide comfort (which is what you are after), it takes miles to break em in! i have one on my touring bike.

craig has pointed out a top tip there, i have one on my cx bike. it is as comfy as my actual arione.

I actually got impatient and picked up one of these on the way home from work today:

Specialized Romin

One of the guys in harrys recommended it. I was tentative when he first showed it me as to the untrained eye it looks the opposite to what you'd usually associate with comfort but after some interrogation he stood his ground and assured it was great for comfort. Went for a spin this evening and I'm really impressed. Not only is it very comfortable, it feels like you're hardly putting any weight on it and the bike feels incredibly more agile and responsive! Didn't think a seat would make such a difference.

Been getting some great tips from harrys recently. It seems every time I go in there with the aim of buying one thing they convince me to buy something completely different and I'm always dead impressed with the outcome.

Appreciate all the responses, will consider the planet x and the flite for future buys. Thanks for the advice on gloves today craig, I went for the full montys in the end but will probs pick up the waterproof ones before winter.

.

Brah, knife thin plastic saddles are the way forward.

Stripped SLR and you will never look back.

anyone got a 24" innertube going begging? I need one for a mate of mines bike

anyone know about this? someone selling lots of old bikes on ebay, mentioning critical mass and linking to ibikemcr, also suggesting this "would make a good fixie" with only a screw on hub, basically selling lots of crap, altho they also have some nice brooks's and stuff

want 16t freewheel, one that can be removed easily.

one with wing nuts or something?

Think there's a 17t on one side of my cannondalE.... You can have it if you can get a freewheel tool to take it off...
