I love this table, it's awesome, but we've just acquired something else so it has to go.
Skovby call it a multi-function table and that's pretty bang on. We mainly used it with just one side up and could fit 3 people round it comfortably. With both sides up you can fit 6 people fairly comfortably, 8 people if they know each very well.
It has a reversible top that matches the table on one side, but has a stainless steel heat resistant surface on the other for hot pans and stuff. It also has a slide out storage section with 2 adjustable storage shelves. There's even some sneaky wine storage in there too, can fit about 12 bottles in there which you can keep magically producing from the bowels of the table during a dinner soiree.
The extending leaves have gas arms with an extremely satisfying noise for easy opening and fold out legs for sturdy dining. It is 80cm long and 40cm deep, but extends to 109cm when one leaf is open, and 178cm when both are open.
There's a few tiny scratches and scrapes caused by some clumsy removal people but I wouldn't say they detract from the overall look of the table. I've included some macro-esque pics that probably make it look a bit worse than it actually is. Also, the stainless steel reversible top has quite a few surface scratches (from the same removal men) but nothing super deep...this is really difficult to photograph.
It's the same as this if you want some more info:

It's located at my place in Radlett, Hertfordshire but could be persuaded to deliver for some petrol/goodwill/motivation money. If you want to come to collect that's totally cool but you'll ideally need 2 people as it's literally the heaviest table in the world. -

Evening all, couple more frames I've gotta get rid of.
Can be picked up from my place in Elstree, or I can meet in central London (I work in W1).Dibs to be followed by a PM.
BRIAN ROURKE 531C ROAD FRAMESET
First off, I can't 100% vouch for this being a Brian Rourke. It doesn't have the typical wrap over stays that most Rourkes have, and the decals appear to be on top of the lacquer. I can't see any frame number to double check. Regardless, it's still a nicely made frame, if a little bit tatty paint wise.
I bought this for myself to build a beater/lock-up road bike, but unfortunately it's smaller than I thought it was, hence it has to go.
As mentioned, paint is tatty and there are a few rust spots showing through, and a previous owner seems to have touched up parts of the paint with what looks like primer. But there are no dents or dings and all seems pretty solid. Still looks super rad though, and I'm gutted it's too small for me.
Including the 105 headset, seatpost and Shimano BB. The headset could probably do with a clean and re-grease. The seat post does move. And I don't have any BB tools at home to remove the BB...it feels pretty smooth, has a 115 (approx) axle and will be a JIS taper.
Seat tube: 57.5cm c-t, 56cm c-c
Top tube: 56.5cm
Head tube: 15.5cm
Seat post diameter: 27.0mm
Rear spacing: 126mm£110 ono
KINESIS RACELIGHT 4S ROAD/AUDAX FRAMESET
Another project that didn't happen. Bought this over a year ago with a view to building a fast winter commuter out of it, but ended up with something else instead.
This is the older non-disc version, and has plenty of space (apparently) for 28c tyres with mudguards. You can read more about the frame here https://www.sigmasports.com/item/Kinesis/Racelight-4S-Frameset-2016/35VB?s=1This is a size 60. The above link has full size spec, but the important bits are:
Seat tube: 60cm c-t, 55cm c-c
Top tube: 57cm (actual), 58cm (effective)
Head tube: 20cm
Seat post: 27.2mmComes with a headset that feels pretty smooth and a seat clamp. There is unusually so oxidation happening around the lower bottle cage boss on the downtube. The threads are still absolutely fine though. Apart from that condition is absolutely excellent, with no dings or dents, and no chips or scratches of note.
Another one which I'll be sad to see go, but I'm just not gonna do anything with it. This will build into a really nice lightweight bike for the winter.
£200 ono
