    Note the oh so ironic difference in the shade of pink on calliper and lever... nothing says try-hard like actual colour co-ordination, thats so February 19th...

    As the title would suggest.

    Deda Zero1 Stem in White 120mm for oversized bars. Used once and was too long for me. £15

    Pinzat foot straps top has a skidded through tire stitched into it looks like a zaffiro or something. Used but the tops are in good condition little bit of fraying on the straps that go through the pedal but nothing to worry about loads of life left in them cost
    £45 new looking for £15

    I'm based near Aldgate for collection but don't mind dropping off bits elsewhere in London.

    Cheers

    Feel free to move/flame/whatever if it does exist, but I couldn't really find a thread where you can post up stories and more importantly pictures of component fails. So whether it happened to you, a mate or just a randomer; lets see your snapped carbon, buckled wheels and injuries.

    To start, after riding it as a beater for a year I thought my Raleigh conversion was deserved some tlc. Following a few hours work removing braze-ons and a £40 blast and powder coat I'd finally got my fairly budget conversion looking alright (apologies for the pink brake had an 'ironic' moment).

    Second ride after building her back up again this happened.

    Cheers!

    I wasn't willing to spend more than the combined cost of the frame and powder coat on getting the dropouts changed for what will always be a compromise of a bike. So err here's the new whip!

    Lack of character and nasty welds aside Couldn't be happier with this setup for the price of frame and forks.

    Bought myself a little project. Needs a really good clean, hoping to learn a bit about disassembly/cleaning. First generation Super Ikonta I believe.

    My girlfriend has this camera, be careful with the folding mechanism it is very fragile as I'm sure you've found. Takes beautiful pictures though!
