I only wore these once at L'eroica Britannia! The icing on the cake for any vintage cycling kit.
Size 39, they are Look pedal compatible (NOT SPD). Black microfiber upper (Note: they should be used with the appropriate cleats and toe clips, not on their own like I did - hence the scuffed soles). Comes with vintage style cleats as well.
These babies retail for £140, grab a bargain at £90.
Collect from me in Hackney somewheres

Hi guys - I've decided that my iPad Mini Retina is too much for me. It's a beautiful sexy machine, absolutely nothing's wrong with it, I've had it for 5 months and barely use it in the way that I thought I would. I think it's time for us to part.
It's wi-fi only, 16gb, space grey. Comes with charger, but I don't have the box anymore. I'll even throw in the fancy Moshi Cover origami case + magnetic cover (worth £40), LyncTech Tru Glide Pro stylus (£10), and screen protector (£10).
The Mini Retina is going for £319 new right now, but for you I'll do £250 for the whole shebang.
Can bike to you in London. Let me know!

Duly noted edscoble - next time!
Hey everyone! LBK is recruiting, we're looking for a couple part-time instructor/mechanic hybrids. Read on for the job description. Thanks for your time :D
..................................................................................
Aloha. We are a not-for-profit DIY space in Hackney that helps people learn how to fix their own bike with courses and drop-in sessions from our experienced team of instructors.
We believe bicycles are fantastic tools for education and engagement so we run an expanding range of innovative projects across the community, focusing especially on those who do not traditionally feel encouraged to spend time in a traditional workshop environment.
Our drop-in workshop/classroom opened five years ago and now we are expanding into a retail workshop on the same street. The new space will offer repairs/servicing Tuesday through Friday in the workshop out back, a retail space in the front focusing on commuting/cycle touring, and will house our flagship courses, BYOB (build your own bike) and Wheel Building over the weekends.
All this extra work needs more hands on deck and we are looking for two experienced bike-folk to join the team of mechanics and instructors already aboard. We have all become good friends since Jenni (the director) first opened the doors so expect socialising after-hours, organised rides, and unusual events to be regular fixtures.
Job Description:
Part time. Two or more positions for multiple regular shifts available from August
Candidates will ideally be able to take on two or more shifts per week with those shifts consisting of a morning/afternoon shift and/or an afternoon/evening shift. Your day could consist of teaching a class in the morning then doing repairs in the afternoon for example, or opening the workshop in the morning and then help running a drop in session afternoon. Applicants offering a regular weekend day highly preferred. Extra shifts and further freelance opportunities for off site teaching, Dr Bike, or attending events also available.
We are looking for experienced tutors, cycle trainers, and bike mechanics with a couple of years in the trenches under their belt, Cytech or City and Guilds Level 2 qualification desired but not required. Must have ultra mega excellent communication skills, and a calm ordered approach to diagnosing mechanical problems and presenting possible solutions. We require hands-off teaching and patience - LOTS of patience. Actual teaching experience is a plus. Confidence a boon but no bluffing please. Those able to design and market new courses will be viewed positively. Applications from female or minority candidates are encouraged.
Instructors answer to both Tim Jarrett, Operations Director, and Jenni Gwiazdowski, Director in Chief.
N.B.: You may need to complete an afternoon trial drop-in shift, should your application proceed past interview. Should you be successful there will be a trial period of 2 months before your application is reviewed again.
All employees are paid £10p/h and this is expected to rise in 2018.
Please forward a brief covering email together with your CV and any references to fixit@lbk.org.uk with the subject “Course instructor/Bike mechanic”. Deadline: Tuesday 22 August 5pm. Thank you for reading this far, and good luck.
