I’ve never worn my ponytail through my helmet before so was surprised to find it feels more natural for me. Realised the first thing I do when I take off my helmet is to redo my pony tail so it’s higher. I even do it at cafe stops.

Thread dredge.
Loving what Claire is doing at https://petrichorprojects.co .
Full disclosure, I worked with Claire when we were both at Rapha about 10 years ago. We weren't close then but I knew she was a phenomenal product developer. We connected again when she launched petrichor projects and she was running monthly rides. I love the ethos of her brand, and wanted to support a female led business.
That said, the bib shorts are truly the most comfortable and practical bib shorts I've owned. The review in Singletrack magazine that says "If these work for you, all your other bibs will become redundant" has ended up being entirely true for me!
Worth keeping an eye on for future products.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten about that. Someone's getting bargain then!

SOLD
This was the frame that got me in to road riding back in the day. Bought second hand off eBay.
Photos here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/TDHmbZGpNdyy1Hp18
Got fed up with trying to maintain an 8 speed Campagnolo groupset after I'd just sourced some beautiful Campagnolo 8 speed wheels, the rear of which was almost immediately written off by a black cab rolling their wheel arch over it and pancaking it when I was stopped at a pedestrian crossing. (I still have that groupset if anyone is interested).
Frame alignment is perfect - bike shop at the time commented that frames leave factories with significantly worse alignment!
It's a used, second hand to me bike so there are scratches. etc on the frame. This is photographed extensively.
Top tube is 53cm c-c
Seat tube is 51cm c-tCurrently built up as fixed but has a flip flop hub.
Nitto bars, potentially 36cm (I'm small) 38cm maximum - awkward taking measurements on taped, hooded bars
Cinelli 90mm quill stem
165cm cranks (I'm too lazy to take the pedals off)
48T chain ring
20T fixed sprocket (live in a hilly area)
Forgotten what size the single speed sprocket is, other than smaller.
Fizik vesta saddle - I've taken the saddle bag clamp off since taking the photo
Plenty of life left in both rims (though front in particular)
I can put a ferrule on the front brake cable :DIt's been hanging in the garage for years.
£150 - is that reasonable? Please tell me if I'm being one of those people who's wildly overvaluing a bike.
Collection in Forest Hill/ Herne Hill or Central.
Edit: to add st/ tt lengths

So sorry to hear you’re going through such a tough time. I hope things work out well for both of you and that you heal quickly.

The cycling industry - that well known bastion of appropriately salaried jobs. Where people's utility companies and landlords accept clothing allowances and staff discounts as payment.
Wednesday morning rides. You have to make that time back, right? Or is it a 4.5 day week?

I find the Trailcross a bit too flexy which tires my feet out. I do like the grip and ventilation though.

Apologies on muddling up reference person.
