    Ahhh I suck at rules. Add will be taken down and I'll feel out gumtree first. Sorry all!!

    And of course I will offer a Forum discount. Posted both ads last night in a haz from xmas drinks.

    As for the Dolan it's a nice bike but there are parts on my felt that you simply won't get on the bike for anywhere near that money, like the Zipp stem and bars, as well as zero g titanium brakes.

    Cheers,

    Mark Silver, Left hand drive - does anyone know how he does this without the left hand pedal falling off?

    Does this give an advantage in any way? I'm a bit confused as to why it's setup this way unless it's a one off for the rider?

    I just flew with my race bike from NYC to London Heathrow. What I did was get a road bike box (was a merlin box) from my local shop in the states with all the packing material from the new merlin which came inside it. Disassembled my bike (just front and rear wheel, and remove bars from stem). Packed safely away in the double cardboard box and it made it here to London with no worries through 2 planes (I had to change in Washington DC).

    A slight note, I know that customs unpacks these to some extent when checking for drugs or bombs or whatever else... I found it useful to customize your box and also write very general instructions on the inside of the top of the flaps (ie front wheel here, rear wheel here, bars horizontally here).

    Had no issues doing this in the past for domestic flights as well.

    Hi all, just moved into East London from the states. Living in shoreditch now and brought over a geared beast but plan to build a single speed this month. I'll be looking around for some Shoreditch/Hackney/East London riders or meets
