    No dings or dents although some small wear to the paint where there are cables that rub - not very much and I'll send some pictures for you. Also a scuff to the back of the saddle but still some life left in it.

    For the pedals they are double sided so SPD on one side and a flat platform for normal shoes on the other. I think I have some plastic platform pedals in a box somewhere which I could fit if you prefer.

    I would think it would be about right. I'm selling on behalf of a friend who has moved house but he is about 5' 8". I'm 5' 11" and it's definitely too small on me.

    Yes - currently fixed but a freewheel on the other side and has both brakes for if you are freewheeling.

    Used for commuting for about 8 months but well looked after. Parts different from stock are:

    Espresso deep section wheels in white with Vittoria zaffiro pro tyres (fixed/free)
    Brooks white leather bar tape
    Shimano PD-A530 double sided SPD pedals

    Measurements are here.

    Looking for £320. Collection from New Cross (SE14), more pictures on request.

    Hi all. Sadly I'm now commuting from Kent which means a folder is probably the easiest way to get from the station to work.

    I'm looking ideally for a second hand Dahon or similar and can pay up to about £100.

    Cheers

    A driver pulled across into Jeffreys road through queuing traffic this morning around 9am and didn't check to see no-one was coming along the cycle lane. As a result a guy on a roadie had no time to brake on his way down the CS7 towards Stockwell and went straight into the back passenger side door.

    A few pedestrians stopped to help while I was on the phone to the ambulance/police, and helped to divert the traffic. The guy was clearly hurt - he didn't move from the road until the ambulance moved him and was taken to hospital with a neck brace on. I really hope he's ok, it looked pretty serious.

    The impact was enough to snap the forks from the steerer, he was probably travelling at close to 20mph at the time (at a guess). I was really lucky to be a few metres behind him - far enough to go around the car.

    The driver claimed that a car in the queuing traffic flashed him to go, though clearly neither car was aware of whether the cycle lane was clear at the time. Unsurprisingly the car that flashed (and must have seen what happened) didn't stop and I don't think anyone got the registration. The scary thing is that so many drivers think that they can tell another car when to go and when it's safe, you see it all the time.

    Thoughts are with the guy, hoping he makes a full and speedy recovery.

    Hi Varno, I ordered some black 30mm rims (machined front, radial spokes, unmachined back) with Miche hubs on saturday afternoon, will that have gone out yesterday for delivery? No rush just wondering if I'll have them for this weekend. Cheers mate. Luke
