Oh I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip.

I really like the colourful ones (red and white etc), but this came up in good condition, and the shiny looks nice in the sun, so not complaining.

Hi all. NO DIBS. Just reply here and then message me if you'd like it. Will need to be posted, and price includes this. Payment via PayPal. Thanks.

Shimano 600 Ultegra seat "pillar" / post 26.4 (small crack)
Small crack in the centre of the lower rail clamp plate. See photos. Some rust spots too.
£20 posted

I wonder if Tyson Fury was given £10k to spend on a bike if he could make it uglier. Fur instead of leather, maybe.

Thank you. I think it's just the glowing white rainy radiance of it. Might be me not doing it neat enough around the hoods, too.

Very strange (but works) seat post with a little thumb screw for the front clamp adjustment. Thought the shiny black top part matched the front of the bike frame nicely (also the "100" on the seat post and the "10" on the top tube) -_-

Better now. Antares 00, Deda Zero 100 seatpost, FSA Energy Traditional bars, Cinelli cork gel tape.

Where are you buying from? If it's eBay go for a seller with a good amount of Feedback and all positive, and send a message first with any questions. Could even ask them for a phone chat if you're unsure. You can generally tell if a bike has been mistreated or not by how the seller writes about it and from checking the photos. Previous generation SuperSix Evos were so nice and IMO look miles nicer than the new ones. You can always put a Praxis BB in if you want to run standard non-BB30 cranks. Many second-hand bikes will already come with these sorts of things installed.

When I bought a Cannondale recently, I knew from the description that the seller was a keen cyclist, not just "someone selling a bike". Checked their other items and they were selling another nice bike, some old steel thing, so clearly it was an interest for them. You could wait for one to appear second-hand that someone has tastefully customised / upgraded, or a stock one that hasn't been roughed about too much. Oh and another good tip: If they say collection only, ask if they would mind packaging it up and you arrange the courier. You can get a bargain that is in the middle of nowhere and no-one can collect.

It's like if Dr Evil and Arnold designed a bike together and decided milk from metal bottles with nipple straws would be a nice way to top it off.

Frame colours look like some of the recent Tarmacs...

Went with an XL Mojito in dark blue / pink (officially max 64cm vs Align II's 62cm) as the prices are good and those older ones on sale will all be gone soon. About £10 more, 130 grams lighter, and I guess will be comfier and slightly better ventilated, but no MIPS. Maybe can actually wear a cap under this one with my massive head...

Update: Colour was kind of ugly so returned. Was nice and roomy though and I forgot how good that Mojito back of the head cradle is. Ordered the Align II instead, £35 on Tredz. Will update once I've tried it. Hopefully no crashes and won't need the MIPS but still nice to have I guess.

When I've seen them on eBay about $300+ for a nice one. I think between $300-500 would be about right, if it's in excellent condition.

I would never sell my PACs as they're not even being made anymore (not regularly, anyway), and would be impossible to replace.

Zo were the "original", right? Maybe sell if you're not using it, but aim high with the price.

Shimano 600 Ultegra "seat pillar" 26.4 - Small crack, centre of the lower rail clamp - See photos.

How much should I be asking? Same as this one (obviously not in the same condition):

Also looking for a cheaper, bash-able helmet. That Align II with MIPS looks good. I tried an Echelon II MIPS and it fits great but double the price (Align II £35 on Tredz with code). Wiggle / CRC still have some Mojitos on sale for about £50, with the lovely retention system and padding but no MIPS. Also quite a bit lighter than the Align. Align comes in sexy dark purple which would match my Octal though...

S&S Couplers (split frame in two) = "Functional" ;)

Also saddle pack and two water bottles ;P

How waterproof is the Essentials Case? And does the zipper inside scratch phone screens or their camera lenses?

Ortlieb make padded camera inserts for their handlebar bags.

Does anyone own one of those Road Runner Burrito Bags or Ornot handlebar bags? If so, what do you make of them?

I really like Cinelli Gel Cork. Tried tacky tapes like Lizard Skins etc but hated them, and others are too smooth. This one is nicely cushioned, feels great with bare hands, lasts forever, good price (£10-15), range of colours, and subtle but attractive. Some people online have said it comes loose or doesn't stick to the bar well, but I think they probably aren't stretching it enough to wrap it tightly.

I imagine most forum users' first FG or SS looked extremely similar to that... So maybe no need to be too harsh. Mine was a Pompino - functional but no fashion disasters :P

As it says in the description, "No dibs". Creates confusion. Message me if you'd like something. Few bits still available. Might add more tomorrow.

^^^ All of these are lovely. Wish mine was so colourful.

Autumn fast approaching and days getting shorter, so:

Not super cheap, but the cheapest price around. Also seems to have better reviews and longer battery life than the newer "AMPP" versions.

I tried an Exposure Joystiq and was not impressed, and it was about £50 more, so will give this a go instead.

Ah, there is a black Salsa Lip Lock in 30.8.

I'll try to get one of those and see if it works. Will have to import from the States but probably worth it.

The tiny size difference should be no issue, right?

Hey. No not shims, and 30.9 probably best.
