Nearly 2 years since I've been on here...
Aussie coming to the UK for 2 months, leaving my summer to come to your winter.
Based around Durham. Would need to be able to meet me somewhere I can take a train to, as I won't have a car. If we organise something within the next week I might be able to meet at Manchester airport before I jump on the train to Newcastle.
Looking for something cheap to thrash/explore on/get around with for a few months and sell cheaper before I leave.
Don't have many preferences. Needs to be a large size/19" mtb/56 tt road.
Happy to consider roadie, tourer, fixed, or mtb. If fixed would need provision for a front brake (it doesn't rain here so I'm out of practice). Ideally something simple, cheap; bonus points for cool.
I do have a budget but I'm also flexible. What's out there?
Also, any recommendations for where to look if not LFGSS?

I have an aluminium one with an ENVE fork and love it to bits. Best bike I've ever ridden. One day I'll have to get a steelie to match. Looks fantastic mate.

So, I'm a little confused.
I have a new, Force CX 1 flat mount caliper set on the way, in addition to a fork that will be IS-mount.
The frame is flat mount.
Is there an adapter that will fit the flat mount onto the IS fork? Visually, to me, it looks like I might be able to fit the IS->Post adapter and then the flat mount plate onto that? But I'm not sure...
Anyone know one way or another?

Random first post in the TT forum.
Anyone interested in 24mm FMB Record tyres? Having some custom made, as FMB don't do these in anything bigger than 22mm but I'd like something a tad wider for a rear tyre... I'm located in Australia but would happily take the order and distribute - don't have costing yet but I imagine the more we order the cheaper it will become, especially as they're being custom made. I don't want to make any money, as long as you cover shipping costs then I'm just planning on selling at whatever they cost me (though exchange rate is pretty good for you guys at the minute.)
I'm down for two already. PM me if interested.
Haven't decided on silk vs. cotton but probably just cotton I think. @xavierdisley these have been pretty fast in the past, right?

I have one of these and it works exceptionally well. Generally quite readily available on the German evilbayz (apparently an obsession with retro mtbs...) http://ebay.de/itm/Shimano-Deore-II-U-Brake-SLR-komplett-mit-allen-Anbauteilen-incl-Anleitung-/321864223731?nav=SEARCH
