So definitely not in amazing condition but sturdy bike in need of TLC and then it'll ride nicely.
Alex rear wheel.
Mudguards, new-ish seat etc. smooth ride BUT needs new back tyre AND inner tube.
Will take whatever I can get. £25 maybe. The Alex wheel cost about £50.
Pick up only - Streatham.
I'm 5,9, and it fits me fine.Sold thanks all

Excellent service every time I go in, with knowledgeable and helpful staff, despite being very busy. The only place who could release stuck seatpost. Recommended.

Agree, didn't realise the chain had to be quite so taut, assuming this caused it to lock. Was going too fast around a corner with terrible surfacing and very pumped tyres too; all in all not the best idea. Helmet saved hospital trip. For now.
My crap bike I was using in the meantime got its tyre slashed from the bike locks at the back of Clapham Junction, left from about 11AM-9PM. So er suggest avoiding these, unless it's just me... So if anyone happens to be selling 2nd hand tyre to suit Specialized Crossroads, would be cool.

Came off mine and went flying... back wheel severely bent, looking to get tyres/wheels more suited to London roads, and trying to work out if the chain looped itself as to why the bloody thing locked up. Fun times. Are Alex DAs not recommended, hence not on the list? Thinking thicker (than Rubino Pros) tyres maybe best of both worlds, any thoughts much appreciated.
Ace Evans in Fulham Broadway btw wrenched seatpost out of frame, third place to try after first said blowtorch, second, 'no'.

Fair comments!
Standard cartridge in one deck, Ortofon 'scratching' good one in the other, one deck is black and one is grey, both in good condition you'd expect for this make etc.
Sorry I don't have pics or I'd have posted them up (long dull story, but my sister's brother's boyfriend said he'd look after them when I was up in Edinburgh, and they're still with his parents... yawn... Am now back in London), and it seemed a little dumb grabbing some from google images. Obviously if there is interest I'd get them to my place in south London, and can easily send pics from there of any parts anyone is interested in.
And I paid £300 each, but selling them as a pair would perhaps not get this back... hence 'reasonable offers'... cheers all... -
Up for sale are a pair of these great workhorse record decks, fantastic quality, well maintained, and mixer thrown in too. The mixer ain't great though (Numark, and works alright but not certainly not top of the range).
The decks are Mark II if I remember rightly, currently being looked after by a mate. Work as new, as you'd expect. Sad to see them go to be honest, but simply not used. All reasonable offers considered. Pick up from south London.

Also, may be of use.... advice was to keep the chain tensioner well greased, and:
'assuming the allen head hasn't rounded, it will use either 2.5, 3 or 4mm allen headed screws (they've changed over the years the Flyer's been in production).'
Now to get the damn seatpost out. Impossible without losing the paint it seems...
Dear ladies and gentlemen,
I'm looking for a complete bike or project or beater on a budget please, if anyone has anything sitting about underused and unloved.
Ideally something I can convert to single speed in time, but definitely summat that can handle a bit of off road, and a bit of Manchester potholes (which come to pretty much the same thing imho).
About 55cm frame.
Thanks for your time.
Simon
