A thousand excuses for the IDF eh? On a serious note, they’re flattening Gaza to the ground so a hospital is just collateral damage to them.
-
They've also explicitly claimed to have not used white phosphorus in Gaza but open-source data clearly rebuts that, so not sure this line of thinking holds up.
-
Out of interest, have any UK cycling personalities or framebuilders etc. stuck their neck out in support of Palestine? Would be great to support them.

🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸

Thank you to @packet for being a straightforward seller of a Surly frame, much appreciated.
-
In search of the above fork -- ideally with some steerer tube length in tact -- for a Surly Pacer (sacré bleu etc.)
-
Used once very briefly, superb condition. Waxed cordura “doomd charcoal”. Comes with 2x nano voiles and a headtube cord. £135 at Woods, yours for £90 posted in the UK.

One day! You probably know already but The Woods Cyclery are now UK distributors of Riv, with some Appaloosa frames due to “drop” soon…
-
Not at all. I’m 171cm / 82cm PBH / 71cm saddle height.
-
That’s just cloth bar tape wrapped in twine! To my pleasant surprise the chain doesn’t flap around much. I saw Ultraromance’s battered wooden chainstay protector on his Atlantis online; it did look cool.
-
I combined two chains and saved the leftover links for spares!
-
Here's my Riv: a 53cm Susie W. Longbolts in Lime Olive. I'm chuffed with it.
-
So excited to see this beaut come together!

WITHDRAWN FROM SALE THANK YOU
For sale is this delightful fillet-brazed 1990 Overbury's Pioneer ATB made in Bristol BS6. I'm looking for £375 or thereabouts, with all proceeds from the sale going to charity (MAP).
I bought it for £500 (overpriced, I know) from original owner Steven in July this year. It's in remarkable condition and has seen very few miles. It has a sweet straight-blade unicrown fork with a lug kinda thing and a cool bilaminated seat tube. It's made from Columbus Nivacrom 'Off Road' which apparently has 'double and triple thickness butting' lol. Steven lubricated the insides with a thick wax-type coating from new, so no worries there.
The distance between the BB and the saddle in the photos is 71cm. The standover height is 77cm.
I made the following additions/changes:
Panaracer GK SK 26x2.1" tyres (they measure up at 53mm actual).
Cool Nirvana-esque cable yokes
Fresh cables
7-speed wide range cassette (34t from memory)
2x front chainrings (24t and 38t, with a chainguard in lieu of the largest chainring)
Cute anodised red crank bolts
Stem mounted front mech shifter
SimWorks Little Nick bars, with ESI Extra Chunky grips
Brass cable ferules
WW frame bag in a custom red colour
The I and O of the tiny Pioneer sticker on the driveside seat stay were coming off so I Sharpie'd an A in their place so it now reads PANEER.
Other than the tyres, I kept all the original bits I took off so you can have them. Everything else is stock; let me know if you need any specific details. The safety pizza, bell, bottle cage, bottle and pedals aren't included.
You're welcome to collect from Swindon SN3 or I could potentially deliver to you in person at either London Paddington or Bristol Temple Meads. But bringing all the original bits I took off with me to Bristol or London will be a mission if I'm honest.
