Noob alert. Threaded handlebars? Where's the thread? What's the difference between threaded and non-threaded handlebars?

Thank you. Been having a look around and can't find anything :/ a shim wouldn't work would it?

As the title says.

Cheers.

Still on offer?

I've just bought a moser frame that has no seat post clamp (similar to the bike pictured). Can anyone tell me the name of the type of seat post that fits these types of tubes please?

Hi, couldn't see the seatpost in the pic section. I'm interested

Could I take the tires and saddle please?

Yep, went for £130 and I did not resist any haggling.

Ah, thank you.

For anyone who comes across this thread. Any q answered is here: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/157436/?offset=92725

I used the search function, I used google with 'lfgss'. I found nothing. I have noob questions. I imagine other people have noob questions too, maybe they could all go in this thread? And if we ask nicely and seem appropriately humble, maybe more experienced forum users could answer them?! :D

I'm buying a wheelset, I really don't want a noisy freewheel. Are all freewheels loud? Do I find a quiet one just by looking through reviews?

Cheers, could you send me a pm if he bails? I can pick up within the hour.

Post still available? Could pick up today

As the title says. Looking for second hand gear that's in good condition that requires no work done to be fully functional. Specifically looking for:

Stem:
3T mutant quill stem
3T quick change quill stem

Bars:
42cm Drop handlebars

Pedals:
Shimano A530 or other reversible clipless pedals

Groupset:
I know I'll probably end up going with a shimano 105 off wiggle, as I'm not looking at spending over £400 on this, but I thought I'd include it in case someone has something relevant.

Tires:
Schwalbe marathon plus or other durable tire

Any:
Seat
Seat post
Italian bottom bracket
Wheelset

I caught the fella in the light blue and glasses on the way up to London fields! I was the rider in red, on a red nishiki with a white cycling cap that was jumping lights (because I was late please don't hate me).

Cool, send me a pm with what time you'd like :)

I bought this bike off @Vince in April for my gf, so as you can imagine, I received it in perfect condition, with new tyres and brake pads and a fresh service. Unfortunately my gf turned out to be less interested in bikes than I had thought :D I've ridden it twice since buying it and it rolls like a dream.

It is broadly a 54cm frame (ST is 56cm CTT, TT is 54cm projected).

Built in 1983 from 2040 steel (equivalent to Reynolds 501)
700c steel clincher wheels on Shimano hubs (hyperglide rear hub that takes cassettes to you could go for 6 or 7 speeds).
Shimano Adamas AX double chainset.
Huret 2x5 gearset with stem shifters mounted on the stem so very easy to use.
Mudguards, dynamo, swept back bars, rear rack - all steel!

The cosmetic condition is good with only some surface scratches and it has seen very few miles.

Work done on the bike:
Trued the wheels;
Fitted new Hutchinson Nitro2 700 x 25mm tyres;
Fitted new steel specific Fibres brake blocks all around;
Fitted new inner/outer brake cables; and
Adjusted gears, headset and bottom bracket.
All in a great bike, ready to roll - it is a very smooth ride so come and try it.

Test rides from Balham. Like Vince, I'll ask for £150.

Cheers

I was riding with le @Chung so no need for an individual report, but I wanted to give a shoutout to the peng(e) crew. Heard a lot about/saw several of the riders and it was always positive.

Thanks a bunch, I'm going to compare my current bike against a calculator's suggestions now. Might go to scherrit after.

Thanks again.

Thanks gentlefolk. Any recommendations for places that do measuring/fitting for less than the £200~ I've seen quoted for a bike fitting around London? I'm not flush

Saddle same height, legs less bunched up was my thinking. I know fuck all though! :(

I hadn't thought of that, but I'm pretty flexible. What are the advantages to using a longer crank length?

I'm tall and I'm looking at compensating for a frame that's just slightly on the short side for me by getting 200mm cranks to replace my current 175mm cranks. Are there any compatibility issues with getting longer cranks or would it just be some pedal strike if I didn't keep my mind tuned in while cornering?

Thanks

Immaculate 2004 alu f.moser frame with steel forks. How much is it worth? Thanks in advance!
