My line of business (energy consultancy) - we're currently estimating 35p/kWh elec, 9.7p/kWh gas

Currently struggling with leaf miner on my beets which is now spilling over into the perpetual spinach (should have realised they were essentially the same plant before sowing, but anyway).
Any advice on getting rid of the maggoty bastards?

SOLD

Drop me a dm and we can discuss! :)

Price drop to £10! This is not a rubbish frame, promise!

Price drop

Ultegra groupo gone, price drops

Not a bad frame.
Aluminium frame, carbon forks, size 53 (I'm 90% sure! I'm 5'8'' but probably on the short end of the range for this frame).
Paintjob essentially intact other than a chip on the front of the fork which came from a high speed stone pinged into it.
Currently has a fairly knackered ceramic speed bottom bracket installed.
Fits up to 28mm tyres.
Would make a great winter bike.
I just can't have this taking up space any longer - please take it from me!!!
£30? £20

1.1. 52-36 172.5mm crankset
1.2. Short cage rear derailleur

1.4. Shifters (left hand one is a bit marked up but not dreadful!)
1.5. Ultegra R8000 brakes inc. new brakepads.
£180 SOLD

1. Fizik Cyrano seatpost, 27.2 x 400, lightly worn

Collection SE22! Or postage at cost
Please forgive the photo quality.

Ah, no! Thanks for that.
It's not a Hardrock Sport, although I'm hoping that the frames are the same and maybe it's just the componentry that was different between the Sport and the non-Sport versions?

I've acquired a 1991 Specialized Hardrock, intended as a gift, which as ever appeared great until I sat on it and discovered all the issues. The most intractable one is that it has a 25.4 diameter seatpost which is undersize, so the previous owner had tightened the clamp to shit in an effort to hold it.
Un-fucking the seat clamp isn't an issue, done that before, but I can't assess the proper diameter for a replacement seatpost. I initially thought 27.2 but that's definitely too wide, and research suggests 26.0 (or 26.4/26.6 etc...). Does anybody have one of these they could check the diameter on? Or any advice!

Not sure this is any help but a couple of years ago I had to get a train from mid-Wales to London with my bike. Avanti west coast, total shit when it comes to bikes, so I went to tesco before my train and bought some christmas wrapping paper and tape. Wheels off, wrapped it all up with a load of tape, got no bother whatsoever.
This is was september however so the guy with a massive 'christmas present' taking up the space in front of the disabled loo did get some stares.

Still available?

Ditto, glad we finally got it organised!

Chainring/Kalloy stem/Silver mtb bars gone, remainder all still available!

Apologies - Will keep you as second dibs @user71349 , I have had a DM from another party on that.

Can't post because I'll probably never get round to it... It took me six weeks to just get this stuff on the forum!

The cranks are 170mm

The rest.

Getting rid of some stuff. 10 points if you can guess the theme that links most of these items (and no, 'bicycle' would be too easy).

All items for pick up from SE22.

1. a 36T 104BCD 4-bolt Hope narrow wide alloy chainring in a lovely silver. Good condition, maybe 200km on it at worst.£12 SOLD
   
2. A pair of Tektro Rl-520's. These are long-pull drop-bar brakes designed for cantis or v-brakes. Hardly used, with brake cables. £10
   
3. A lovely 90's Specialized MTB alloy flatbar with a slight backsweep (7°ish) in polished silver, 560mm wide. Some light scratches and one particular heavily scratched 1" patch. 25.6mm clamp diameter. £8 SOLD
   
4. Gunmetal-coloured polished alloy stem with a 25.4mm handlebar clamp, normal stem clamp. 130mm length, 17° rise. £5

8. A pair of alloy SPD clipless MTB pedals, dual-sided. Bearings good, no rust, bit weighty. £5
   
9. A Shimano 7-speed stem shifter for a normal-diameter quill stem. Front shifter is friction (so whatever speed you desire), rear is indexed. Never used, still boxed, with shifter cables. £5

Cheers, will dm @ThriceCookedRice now

Would you split the handlebar and stem? If so I'll take the bars

Think that means £20 including postage!
