    Hi,

    I got this a few weeks ago and have never ridden it. I am relocating due to work and no longer have much need for a folding bike - my other 3 full size bikes will do the job!

    It is brand new and complete with owner's manual. It retails at £1075 - I'm looking for £900.

    Cheers

    The spds on my road bike are fine and I love them for proper road cycling, its just all this stoppy starty inner city stuff that has me worried of regular falling.

    Northies regularly do a variation of this.

    That'll keep you going.

    Cheers. I'll give it a go but I'll need to do it early in the morning to avoid the mental London traffic.

    I'm used to cycling a couple of miles out of Glasgow onto relatively deserted roads and now I have to deal with all this traffic - I can see an SPD fails happening soon.

    Any others?

    Hi,

    I'm looking for some decent routes that go out of the city onto quieter roads heading northish. Distance between 30 and 100 km would be great.

    I've just arrived from Glasgow and honestly haven't a clue about the area. My bikes pictured below.

    Cheers

    I love this bike. It seems from the amount of seatpost you have showing it is much too big for you. Would you like to sell it?

    That photo was taken just after I had built it up. The seat post is a good bit higher now although you are right, the frame is a little too big.

    I have just moved down and wasn't planning on selling it. The frame had never been ridden until I got it even though it was built a while ago. Its 753 and is very light such a big frame.

    What sort of money would you be talking?

    Alrighty,

    just moved down from Glasgow and joined.

    Here's my big yellow ribble. 753 track frame, undrilled with clamp on dia compes.

    I'm trying to get some sort of storage rack for my bikes to put up on the wall in a narrow hallway. Does anyone know of a decent and cheap alternative to the cycloc pictured below?
