Pics? Seen these come with both silver or black finish.

DM incoming.

I could be interested in a wheelset if it's SS, with brake surfaces, and all steel/chrome (silver finish).

Feel free to PM me if you've got a decent SS wheelset going, or if any of the bars are 38cm. Potentially interested in stems too.

One big bike box available for free in Hackney E9.

Yes, full build.

I'm sure you've already checked, but there's A LOT of these floating on eBay. Just picked up a 54 in nice nick for £250 myself.

Thanks for that, I might be shipping another bike in a few days.

I ended up going with bikedelivery.co.uk, which was £25 for
the transport, plus another £15 for the box. I also paid £4 to have the box delivered with bubble wrap for packaging. Box is already dispatched, and I could choose collection day myself.

I'll update on how it goes.

This virtual assistant on sendbike.com is quoting me all kinds of different prices every time I go on their page. I pointed out that operating with an artificial full price like this is illegal practice, and they have now decided to not offer me any discounts anymore. Even though they quoted me £60 half an hour ago, the price I'm offered is now £80.

I've just bought a bike on eBay that I'll need shipped from Wrexham to London. I'm looking at different companies offering bike transport, but wondered if there's suggestions or ideas to be had here.

I've checked out sendbike.com, but every time I go on the page some assistant pops up and says that they normally charge £75 for their service, but that they can offer me a special discount today. All seems very fishy and isn't very trust inducing.

Any advice?

Having upgraded to full roadie, my HHSB Cinelli Pista is too nice to be used solely for my 10 minute work commute, and to be frank, I'd rather be getting around town on a bike I'm not always afraid to lock up in public.

So I'm looking for a cheaper SS, something of a beater, but fun enough to ride that it can accompany me on pub rounds and excursions around London this summer (Covid permitting).

Ideally something with a fairly aggressive/track geometry, but with brakes (or at least brake mounts) front and rear. Was originally budgeting £200 for this, but could stretch to £300 if something is appealing enough.

I'm based in Hackney.

Scratch that, it seems my information was woefully outdated:

In reality, it seems there's no such thing as duty exemption:

I was looking at buying a bike from abroad for a while, since the market here is kinda F'ed. Apparently, bicycles (from the EU) are exempt from any duty or import tax until the end of 2021.

What's that wheelset?

Tudor BB GMT. Love the slightly understated classic look. Like a Rolex, just prettier.

What are those? What do they weigh? What tire width are you running there? Rubber looks nicely flush with the rim.

50mm deep and 1360g at £550. Nice.

Even I know that's no feather weight, should've noticed!

I'm graduating from SS to roadie, and have just ordered a Specialized Allez Sprint Disc, and across generally very favourable reviews, the stock wheelset seems to be rather so-so (DT Swiss rims, nondescript hubs). I'd be keen to upgrade my wheelset for the summer to something carbon and with a deeper profile, and the Zipp 303s might be just a little too far of a stretch on my budget.

Does anyone know of more modestly priced alternatives, or have a list of arguments long enough to convince me to break the bank on Zipps?

I've found these few alternatives myself, and would love input (do they suck?/would they be worth the upgrade?):

Prime, £600

Vel, £700

Anything cheaper worth considering?

Did the seatpost go?

Did this sell?

That's a carbon seatpost?

Edit: second dibs on the seatpost.

If anything here slips past the fancy of either @Got_Got_Need or @Glws, I'm on the 54/56 divide and looking for a bike myself. Up to £1.5k, rim brake/Shimano/aluminum preferred.

It's gonna be a tough year. I'm on a similar hunt for a 56. I called around the other day asking about Caads, and someone at Sigma said they're not getting any new deliveries until 2022, saying Cannondale were sold out at the source. Someone at Tredz told me the new bike prices are due to go up from tomorrow, with the added import costs.
