Hi, I'm after a brakeless 24" fork and wheelset (single speed). Anybody got some old bits knocking about? Cheers.

Hi, what size are these?

Dibs on the diatech lever

Hi, what's the sizing like? I have a 9.5 UK pair of tiempo footy boots, and these are a little tight. Maybe I need a 10 UK?

Yep, seen them now - there was a 'more on imgur' :)

Any pics of the fulcrums?

Hmmm...

These beasts will literally roll over anything and they take everything in their stride :D

No flat spots or cracks. Slightly more wear to the tyre that was fitted to the rear.

£25 for the pair. Collection from Horsham (West Sussex), Sunbury on Thames (Middx), or possibly Victoria. Could post at extra cost but they don't fold so it could be pricey.

My partner does my admin - ie timesheets, invoicing, expenses, submitting vat return/corporation tax, comms with the accountant etc etc

I get what your saying - and I assume this situation is "utilised" by almost every limited company. I would add that my partner has a job which generates more than the personal allowance anyway, and that the salary from my limited company is taxed via their annual return, and as such no tax avoidance.

But is it dodging? As they would pay tax via their annual tax return. And given that an additional employee would result in the requirements for a workplace pension, there would be additional NIC's to pay also.

One other thing to consider, with the partner as an employee, they would be eligible for the company bike scheme too! Bike n+2! Happy days!

It's funny you mention tax dodging - my current contract ends in October and I was considering closing the company via the MVL process, however I was made aware of 'money boxing' and am now hesitant to do this. How can HMRC claim this is avoidance as any money/profits remaining in the company (at each year end) would be subject to corporation tax etc, and therefore any tax due would already have been paid. Hardly avoidance is it? Or am I missing something?

Don't use a corporate accountancy (like SJD or similar) - try and find/use someone local to you (helps for face to face meetings) that's recommended also.
Don't try and do everything yourself - if you've got a decent accountant, they'll sort all your HMRC etc type paperwork for you.
Do claim for all valid expenses i.e. use of home as an office/broadband/mobile phone/petrol or travel to-from place of work
Do buy another bike - company asset :D
Do speak to other contractors - but don't take their word as gospel - what's good for the goose isn't necessarily good for the gander :D
Do consider adding your wife/partner as an employee/secretary i.e. if you currently transfer money to them for rent/bills/groceries etc this can be covered by the company meaning you don't have to take money out of the company and pay yourself (and be taxed on it)

Hi, Are the bottom set the 2" rise bars?

Hmm. I may have to rethink this build then. My route to the station - via the town centre - involves a section of pretty shoddy cobbles, and I've already had an 'off' before on my old Langster.

No, I don't know the year. It's the yellow Linda McCartney livery if that helps :)

Hi, I've still not started my Rex rebuild - but have been (slowly) gathering parts. Parts of note are: I have a carbon fork from a Langster (the fork with the skull decals on the side), and am considering some shiny Campag Veloce cranks/rings (to use in single speed config). But, I still don't have any wheels or tyres. One thing which could be the deal breaker is the max tyre width I can get away with. Anybody have experience of running 28+ tyres? Cheers!

You have PM

Hi,

Looking for a Kona Project 2 fork - for a disc brake 26" wheel, and also a Shimano DXR v-brake caliper & gubbins (preferably polished/chrome finish).

Thank you,

Mike

Free or ?

Hi, interested in the bullhorn bars. What width are they? Thank you

I wouldn't mind those on one cranks...

Sold

Vegas now sold

No worries - and yes, it's proper tonka - which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I lost count how many S&M's my mates broke (back in the day)!
