They say that supervisors ride around making sure nobody is doing anything dim, and to make sure that your bike is up to scratch, but I never met anyone out there who'd ever been pulled up on anything. Yeah, don't try to do the interview trial thing brakeless though...

Ah, so it's a cheap POS as I suspected. New cranks it is. Shake the magic money tree....

This crankset came with my bike. I'm fairly sure it's some sort of cheap copy of the Eighthinch spline system, but I can't seem to find any information about it whatsoever. Reason I ask is that the slots on the chainring which the splines fit into seem to have worn away, so when I move the cranks, there's a bit of play until it actually turns the ring.
Anybody know what the system may be called, and where I might be able to find a replacement chainring? Or is it worth just getting a new crankset, because this will probably just keep happening.
Cheers

Might have to be the one. Cheers.

Hi
Does anybody have a 32mm headset spanner I could borrow for a couple of hours near Peckham? Took my headset apart to service, but then realised I need another spanner to hold the bearing cup while I tighten the lockring, otherwise it spins the cup at the same time. Tried many an improvisation, none of which worked!
Cheers

Deposit for all of the stuff is £150. And I got mine back in the end, so they may be a bit useless, but at least they didn't try to skank me!

Ended up quitting a few weeks ago. The work itself isn't too bad (Apart from the hours being a pain in the arse), but I can confirm that the company itself are absolutely useless. Nobody in the office seemed to talk to each other and you'd get 3 different people ringing you up to ask the same question, which you'd already answered.
When I handed my notice in, they sent me the generic leaving email and told me to return my stuff. I worked my notice, then had someone call the week after asking why I hadn't been turning up. Explained to her that I didn't work there anymore and all was sorted. Then a week later I had an email telling me that I'd been fired because I still wasn't turning up....
They also don't answer the phone to their own couriers if there's a problem with any delivery, and are generally impossible to get hold of, with emails/phone calls/follow-up emails/follow-up-follow-up emails going unanswered.
Returned my shoddy equipment with some breakages (Not my fault) and still haven't seen the £150 deposit return to my account yet, so we'll have to see about that.
In short, I wouldn't bother with them.
I'm very reluctantly selling my fixed gear, due to needing the money more than I need multiple bikes...
I'm not sure what it is. I was told by the person who sold it to me that it isn't a Colnago Super, but despite my best efforts, I haven't been able to ID the frame. Whatever it is, it's nice, Italian and from the 70's.
It's served me very well over the months I've had it, and is a lot of fun to ride. I'll be sad to see it go, but needs must. I've done a lot to it and spent a lot of time on it since I bought it, and it's got quite a few new bits. There's one or two minor issues, and this is reflected in the price. My asking price is still well under what I've spent on it.

Since my LBS serviced the headset, there's been a slight clicking from the front end when you pull up hard on the bars. I've given it a once-over and can't see anything, so I suspect something needs tightening up somewhere. I haven't had time to look properly and this is reflected in the price.
ASKING PRICE - £320 - Located in Peckham Rye
P.s - Apologies, pictures aren't the best but I was in a rush. If anyone wants pictures of any details, let me know.
