I do enjoy the way the FOX kashima stuff looks, especially with the matching fork/dropper.

Bit OT, but given the odd wheel size these might be of interest; https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/TYVITTRAN/vittoria-randonneur-wired-tyre

Think they bulk ordered thinking they were all 700c and can’t shift the 20” ones.

Try the people’s energy company if anyone’s looking for something that’s the opposite of this. Started by a Scottish couple who were fed up of paying silly bills as far as I can gather, no prior experience, think they crowd funded the initial start up cash, they’re looking to start paying profits back to customers in the next couple of years.

They’re ruddy lovely to deal with on the phone too as long as you can understand Scottish people. They’re not quite as cheap as bulb but when they’ve put their prices up slightly they’ve always seat out a really clear and thorough email explaining why they’ve had to do it and by how much etc.

So far I can certainly recommend them.

You could just shim it and use any stem you like?

Did they have a bunch of other air compressor compatible bits and pieces? I’ve got the parkside compressor but the only accessory I have is a tyre inflator, would be good to add a few more whilst they’ve got them, plus a long coil hose would be very very useful if they’ve got one.

It looks mint!

What have you got?

We’ve got a bungalow and never ever hoover enough and I was wondering if one of these is a good idea or if the reality is they just get stuck/lost/caught on stuff and are mostly useless..

Might as well be!

There's a 'tester approved thread'.. don't think there's a 'ask tester anything thread'.

Judith of Stayer has to be worth a shout, I’m sure there are many others and people with better first hand experience than myself though.

Edit- don’t actually know if she builds with other people’s parts, but for clarity I’ve just picked up a pair of stayer wheels (albeit second hand) and they are exquisite, and I’ve heard very good things about their wheels generally.

Yeh fair point, these just happen to be brand new, black and the right price, I’ll get some ultegra ones though, cheers!

Will these XT skewers fit a standard rim brake road bike? (Mainly in terms of width of rear skewer?)

11spd sramano

Patagonia and 50mm Thomson sold, couple of price drops.

https://www.merlincycles.com/continental-gp5000-folding-tyres-with-2-free-inner-tubes-pair-129803.html

2x GP5000s & 2x tubes for under £77, hardly bargainous, but certainly cheaper than anywhere else.

On second look its fairly obvious I think, I was just being a spanner the first time, and actually it's more obvious now I'm looking on a laptop and not my phone. I first saw the "ON HOLD" and just assumed everything below that was on hold, duh.

You’re quite right, I misinterpreted the way it was written.

SOLD
£80, I’m in London Thursday evening / Friday all day. Can post at cost.

Kinesis Crosslight Pro 6 f&f, inc. fork bung, headset, seatpost and seatclamp. Geo in photos - size “51”. I believe it’s a V2 and will take a 40mm tyre - can measure if it’s a deal breaker.

Was going to build a SS monster crosser thing but life has well and truely put pay to that so my loss is your gain.

Good bits:
Frame is structurally sound as far as I can tell, it’s cheap, it’s very green

Bad bits:
It’s ratty as hell, lots of marks and missing paint, downtube bottle cage area is the worst, also the cable guide on the down tube for the front mech has ceased and shered off so it would need drilling and/or helicoling - but not a problem if you’re running 1x!

I do also have a wheelset based around a surly SS disc rear / shimano front, and a set of Hylix’s that I’m yet to list that was all going to be part of the build. Message if interested, can probably do a deal on the lot.

New (old) pomp on hold the way allegedly.

Tbh, I kinda want a Thomson or nowt, duno why I put that really, I’ll amend the post, you’re welcome to buy it though.

Dibs/PM’s noted, will reply shortly.

Will fix photos later, click the links for now!
EDIT- fixed.

PM for more pics if needed. I'm in London Thursday/Friday this week near Liverpool street or I can post, add £3-5 for small items.

180 > £160 - Cero AR30 alu clincher wheels, 11spd, sramano freehub, 1400g, 30mm rim, sealed bearing hubs, CX-ray spokes, super light and stiff, cycling weekly gave them 10/10. VGC, Strava says 1500 miles only, brake tracks flat, running true, bearings smooth. No cassette or tyres, just wheels, skewers & rim tape

£50 £45 - TRP Spyre Flatmount, practically mint, came off a new bike

£30 £25 - Rapha Club Jersey, small, merino, black, VGC, only worn a couple of times, decided it's not for me.

£50 - Patagonia hooded down jacket, S/M, 'khaki' colour, very slight discolouration on one of the sleeves (hard to even photograph) - otherwise VGC, only worn a couple of times. I've got an arcteryx i wear constantly now so this sits unused.

£50 £40 - Lazer Z1, small (54-56 i think?), white, w/ GB aeroshell, good condition, few marks here and there, comes with bag which could do with a wash as it's been in my garage. If it's good enough for Mathieu van der Poel it's good enough for us mere mortals.

£25 Thomson X4 100mm, decent condition, few marks Will swap for same in 70/80/90

That’s one workaround, cheers!
