    Hey folks, sold this to lucky Flick on the first day. Apparently they are hard to get right now. Somebody asked me to mail it from London to Florida!

    No, I'm going to try and get something casual with gears.

    I have an IRO Mark V HD -- this is the 46cm IRO heidi frame for shorter folks -- for sale.

    It is built up as singlespeed, ready to ride. I'm asking £350. I'm located in Central London, between Angel and Old Street.

    I bought the frameset in the states a few years ago. It's got a mix of components including a brooks saddle, MKS peddles, dirty harry brake levers, shimano brakes, and charge slice handlebars with leather tape. It's a tiny bit weather worn (a few rusty bits of hardware and some minor imperfections to the paint) but overall well taken care of.

    The reason I'm selling is that my neck has been hurting me and I need to altogether switch to a more relaxed cycling situation.

    I have an IRO Mark V HD built up for sale. I will post an ad as soon as I'm out of nursery mode.

    Thanks everyone... rode around a bit and think it's okay. And my bruises are finally, after more than a week, beginning to shrink! I might swap to a taller stem because I think I was leaning into the bars... that's another thread I guess.

    Am new to London, cycling to get around, the left side of the road, this forum. I searched and didn't come up with anything, so hope I'm not repeating any covered stuff.

    I just took my first fall. It was completely my fault, had a bit of a wobble and flipped off. Actually the cars around were super nice about making sure I was okay. Luckily, only a scratched up elbow and knee. Remarkably, laptop is completely fine. I checked everything on the bike that I could think of and basically all I noticed is that the saddle has a scrape and the stem seems to have rotated a few degrees. Is there any good list of other things that I could check out -- I mean, some kind of checklist maybe that I could run down, perhaps to make a preliminary determination as to whether to take it in to the shop?

    Thanks

    @Balki, I did.... is that not okay with you?

    @ojeffcott, thank you, me too. Actually, I'm glad it went down (I went down) this way because now am slightly more relaxed, in a good way not a reckless way, about the whole concept of falling.

    Could anyone please suggest where to move my reply if there's a better place (not allowed to do new threads yet)...
