  Bought this in August to get me back into road riding. That worked but it is way too big for me so have already replaced it. Nothing at all wrong with it, almost as new condition. Broke one spoke but got that replaced by De Ver (where I bought it from in the first place).

  Comes with a 70mm stem (my effort to make it fit me).
  No pedals
  Prologo saddle
  Out front wahoo mount
  Two giant bottle cages
  Box of bits it came with originally (collar and brake bridge for fitting mudguards/racks should you so wish).

  It is in really really good nick so looking for £800. But happy to be told I'm way off if anyone can educate me.

  This exact model of bike, bought from the same shop - https://www.devercycles.co.uk/bikes/road-bikes/2021-giant-contend-sl-2-disc-road-bike-in-purple-size-xl__46472

  I can't even fully articulate yet what this place has done for me. I just simply wouldn't be in the same place physically, emotionally, mentally, financially or geographically if it weren't for here. For so many reasons.

  The fallout of this bill and what it is doing to sites like this one is going to be a literal death knoll for a lot of people. Chronic loneliness and lack of community is such a massive trigger for suicide in men. Rates of which are disgustingly high already given the state of our mental health services and any support for young people to try and get in front of any issues. Taking away what is likely the only lifeline for them to be open or discuss something they share and interest in, is going to fucking suck, hard. I focus on men here as it is very likely that a lot of these fora are probably strongly weighted in that way, not that only men will be affected.

  And I don't mean "taking away" as anything accusatory to Velocio. It is the result of the bill.

  Given the sausage fest of the user list and the popularity of the Middle Aged Thread, chances are slim.

  The private clinic I went to had a room that clearly used to be a toilet, with a chaise lounge where the pan used to be, frosted glass window right next to the car park and a code on the wall for the WiFi, that didn't work.
