  Ridley X-Ride 2013

  62cm

  I bought this bike just over a year ago to serve as a fast commuter (along towpaths) and a bit of weekend exploring. I ended up moving shortly after buying it so it has had very little use.

  The bike was built up from the frameset by my LBS who specialize in cyclocross. There are a few improvements over the OTP bike -

  • the wheels are built with Mavic CXP33 rims on shimano disc hubs;
    
  • the crankset is the Shimano CX50 crankset (Shimano's cyclocross match for 105 groupset)
    
  • Salsa PRL-2 bars
    
    

  Otherwise, it's the same spec as this
  (pedals not included)

  It's a really nice bike but just not used enough. As you can see from the pictures, it's in excellent condition. There are no dents or scratches and everything is in perfect working order.

  I'm looking for £800 plus postage (or you can collect if you can get to Northumberland).

  Wheelset

  Rigida DP18 rims to Miche Primato track hubs. 36H. Selling complete with 20t fixed cog and tyres (Vredestein Ricorso 700x23). The wheels were used for a very short time, are true and in excellent condition. There is no rim wear on the rear (only ridden fixed) and minimal wear on the front. Tyres have plenty of life left (but might need a puncture fixing;) ). Not the lightest wheelset but extremely robust so ideal for commuting.

  130 gbp & p&p

  Miche track crankset - SOLD

  170 crank length. With 51t chainring. This is an earlier, all silver version of the Miche Primato Advanced crankset. Bought NOS from my LBS. A very minimal amount of heel rub but otherwise perfect.

  65 gbp including postage

  Thanks. Sounds like the cx bike is called for.

  I've seen the Big Lamp mentioned a few times. Sounds like it's worth a detour!

  I'll soon be moving to the North East (after several years in Sweden). I'm looking at renting a place in Ovington and wondering whether it's possible to commute by bike into central Newcastle.

  I saw that Hadrian's Cycleway covers most of the route but is it possible to commute along it at a reasonable pace? Supposedly it's 15 miles and, asssuming I could do 15mph, that's a 1 hr commute. That would be fine. But as I've got no experience of the route (surface conditions, traffic, obstacles) it's hard to judge what's possible.

  A bit of local knowledge would be great.

  Thanks

  I hope that's Robinsons Barley Water in the bottle. Anything else would be letting the side down.

  Very nice and I hope the dia compes work out

  Very nice.

  I have some NOS Dia Compe 962 cantilevers. They're not the same as the ones shown in the catalogue but they're the same period (and shiny silver). I think they may work better with the narrower distance between the canti bosses. If you want to keep things period just drop me a pm and I'll sort out some pics.
