Cinelli photos

Hi fixie skidders,

My housemate is relatively new to cycling and has only recently realised that there's such a thing as sizes (mostly due to me laughing at him when he picks up a 'bargain' that's four sizes too small).

So, he's got a couple of bikes to sell to fund a gravel bike that actually fits.

50cm Silver Cinelli Tipo Pista (2018)

He bought this off a female friend when she moved to Melbourne. He's 5'10" so obviously it's at least three sizes too small. It's in pretty good nick aside from the usual scratches and scuffs you'd expect from a four-year-old bike. The spec is pretty much stock aside from pedals and bars. The horrific flipped Cannondale stem is my doing; it was a vain attempt to make it rideable for him. I'm happy to change to an 80mm Cinelli Ant stem or 110mm Cinelli Vai should you want to.

Specs:

Frame : COLUMBUS Alloy Custom
Fork : COLUMBUS Carbon/Alloy 1-1/8”
Chain set : Lasco 48T
Bottom Bracket : FSA BB-7420

£400 (but open to offers)

15" Specialized Rockhopper Pro Hardtail Disc (2006)

So, this was a freebie from my housemate's uncle, again, this came home to much laughter from me. I think this is the 2006 model but honestly, I'm not a mountain biker and they all kinda look the same.

The pros:

• Frame and fork are in good condition
  
• You get a full period Deore XT groupset with some nice Hope hydro discs
  
• Itd make a nice dad bike/commuter
  
  

The cons (and they are legion):

• The chain and cassette are rusty af (although it does shift surprisingly well)
  
• The front brake isn't currently connected up
  
• The right-hand lever is bent
  
• It's very heavy
  
• The tyres are balder than a coot
  
  

It's all stock (apart from the Hope brakes) so assuming it is the 2006 model, specs can be found here: https://www.bikeradar.com/reviews/bikes/mountain-bikes/specialized-rockhopper-pro-disc-review-2/

£100 or any reasonable offer

As always, if these prices are way off I'm sure I'll find out mighty quickly. Any questions just shoot me a PM.

Pictures to follow.

I'm doing this in a couple of weeks: https://www.hubvelo.cc/news/ride-to-the-sun-for-charity (everybody join!) on my cross bike. I'm currently running Terreno Wets, which will likely be overkill unless it rains a lot between now and then.

So, I'm looking for some 38mm gravel tyres, not all that fussed about what they are. Just want something that'll roll a bit faster than a winter cross tyre. As it's likely only going to be for one ride (Epping is usually pretty muddy year-round) I thought I'd see what people have before dropping £70-£80 on a new set of Gravelkings or Terreno Mixs.

I've got a Honeywell atm but it doesn't seem to do an awful lot once I really put the hammer down. Although, I'm sure it would work better if it was on a stand rather than the floor.

Yeah, everyone from my cycling club keeps banging on about the Vacmaster. Maybe I just need to bite the bullet and get one. I was just kinda hoping someone would have a Wahoo or something similar they didn't want haha.

Currently using a very shitty floor fan.

Anyone got anything better they don't want?

Cheers,

That book is wonderful! Well outside my usual wheelhouse, but decided to read it after a fellow copywriter recommended it to me. I read this and The Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin during the darkest days of the pandemic and, without getting too maudlin, they were a real escape.

I often wish Le Guin's books were the wizarding story that became embedded in our culture rather than HP.

On the Silk Road theme, I think it's maybe a tad expensive, but this would be an amazing project for someone: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164910063410. I had to stop myself.

Finished this recently, an absolute masterpiece.

Now on to To Paradise by Hanya Yanagihara. I loved A Little Life so was very keen to read it. And, so far, it hasn't disappointed. My only qualm is that, like all of her books, it's about 800 pages so you can read a huge chunk in one sitting and still feel no closer to finishing.

This is so cool! Shame I'm so tall. GLWS.

Did this with a few people from my club; it was a fantastic day (apart from Canobie hill after two weeks off the bike sick). Cheers to anyone on here who was involved in organising it.

Happy to meet y'all in Walthamstow, I'll be riding out from Hoxton anyway (Lea Bridge Road, yay).

Never met any of you but, as I ride in Epping a lot anyway and I'm keen to meet some badgers, I'm in.

It's in pretty good nick aside from the dirty bolts (I thought it was rust but, on closer inspection, I think it's just dirt). It's from an ill-advised slam-dat-stem experiment that my back hated, so I'll never use it.

Right, here we go.

I have to find it first haha. But thank you for the excuse for a ten-minute break from work.

I've got a 12o Deda Zero 100 stem somewhere that you can have for a tenner if that's of interest?

One of the best nights (football-wise) of this hammer's life. Still buzzing, despite the sore head, this morning. I'm really hoping we get Rangers in the next round, both legs would be really special.

Cheers, everyone. I think not breathing out properly underwater is where my issue lies. I'll try slowing down and just focusing on that when I go tomorrow morning. I've also developed a bad habit of only breathing on one side, so I'll try and sort that out too.

That's gorgeous.

Cheers, will do.

I would love to do this (copywriter and cyclist) but do you know how flexible they are on when the work is done? I do a lot of freelance but also have a day job.

Yes! This is so good. Imagine one with 1993 Cannondale Track livery. I also own a stock CAAD13 (matte black) which is lovely to ride but maaaaayn is it ugly.

Hi all,

Just started swimming regularly again this year after a 10-year absence. It's great! However, I've noticed that my breathing is all over the shop when swimming freestyle/front crawl. It's been a very long time since I did any breathing drills so has anyone got anything they'd recommend?

What are the advantages? Other than being low maintenance? (not being snippy, genuinely interested).
