front shamal now sold. everything else available.

i can't measure the frame until wednesday. i'll post on here as soon as i can.

i think it's around a 56 btw. but i'll measure it all etc asap.

i'll photograph the frame and get it up asap. i'm not sure what i want for it. you're welcome to PM me an offer, but if i were you i'd wait until i've posted the photos so you can get an idea of condition. i also still have to strip it down and clean it properly. i should have it done this time next week..

i have a rear shamal 8 speed for sale: http://www.londonfgss.com/thread33754.html

selling one here: http://www.londonfgss.com/thread33754.html

having a mini clearout. first up is a pair of Nike Poohbah MTB shoes. made in 1993, they're a men's UK 7, EU 41. They're in perfect condition. Only tried on once to find out they were too small...

the red part of the sole can be cut-out (they are already perforated) to allow SPD cleats to be attached. i think it's a 2 hole system, so perfect for shimano SPD.

i'd like to get £40 for them + postage / or i can drop them off in london next time i'm in town. they are rather lovely, and i'd like to see someone wear them instead of sitting in my drawer any longer..

i'll be posting up the frames etc shortly. here are some wheels for you to consider:

Mavic 3G 650 tubular. fitted with a continental podium tub. it comes without a skewer. i bought this NOS from a shop in worthing. it's only ever done 35 miles - i did a 25 and a 10 on it, and haven't used it in over a year. it's sitting on my desk looking pretty but collecting dust...

it runs incredibly smoothly, absolutely no problems with it at all. it's an amazing wheel, it genuienly feels like it pulls you along. i was amazed by it the first time i rode it. and it makes a very cool sound too :)

i'd like £130 for it really.

i also have a campagnolo shamal front 650 tubular wheel for sale. it's been used but still runs true, has signs of wear but it still utterly beautiful, and runs very smoothly. i've been holding on to it for a while, but tbh i'll never use it again so it may as well go to a new home. the tub is currently flat (has a puncture) it popped on its first ride... i'll leave it on there incase you feel like repairing it...

SOLD

to go with the other wheel is the rear 700 tubular shamal. some idiot removed the decals on this one. not sure why, sponsorship reasons perhaps..? it's used but runs true, rolls very quickly, and make a good noise. it comes with an 8 speed 13 - 21 record block. i was told it's a lightweight alloy block, but i can't confirm that.

** SOLD**

they look like this on my TT bike:

the frame is also for sale, but i've not photographed it properly yet.

thanks for looking!

get back to me if you want any more photos / answer any questions.

don't think so. there is a photo-cat on friday though: http://www.londonfgss.com/thread31555.html#post1041747

@ everyone. many thanks for the kind words. look forward to see you all on thursday!

shameless self-promotion: my book has a history of keirin / keirin school. you can see a few pics here -> http://www.fixedgearbook.com

i was in the go-race, it was a lot harder than i was expecting! the start was absolutely crucial, i started quite far back, and it was so hard to move up through the field!

just checked the results - 12 minute first lap!!!

thanks to all the marshalls and organisers, that was so much fun! need to go get a CX bike now..

lee's not here this weekend or next, i think i'm going to go out and ride bostal a few times in the monring - i've entered the Sussex CA hill climb wich is there next weekend.

there's a competition on the Morvelo website, they've got an exposure joystick light up for grabs - you have to nominate your favourite t-design from their store, and suggest an idea for a new one, and you could win one complete with a custom design. simple!

my friend started the company a while back and sponsor a few mtb riders, they were the guys who put on the big dog race in brighton back in august, which was probably the most fun race i've done all year!

check out their website, i think they're restocking the sold out tees at the moment.

Hi James, yep using a joe blow track pump- I think my PSI was a little high at 120 so i have backed off - The tyres im running are Conti Duraskin and Gator skin - which I believed to be quite hardcore... according to the above thread.. are as I though rubbish

Just picked out a 2mm shard of glass that caused the latest rip...

Andy... this was why i was calling you at 10 last night! - trip to rayments for me saturday

ah, that was you! i didn't pick up - it came up as unknown... you are now in the phonebook. maybe i have the wrong number for you. i texted you on sunday... did it get through?

i got a speciliazed all conditions armadillo thing recently. it's the hardest tyre i've ever used, i'd recommend them for puncture resistance. go see lewis at rayment, he'll sort you out with some.

could someone with piping drop a few pieces into rayment cycles if you're passing, or let me know where you are and i could come collect? lewis and i would like to bulid a few mallets. cheers!!

do we have any mallets?

see you at 2

do it.

i feel a bit frustrated from this year's racing - although my first year racing i had high expectations, and although i often surprised myself, i also didn't perform in the races i should have played more of a part in.. so for next year i'm going to target races and train specifcally for them.
my plan is to race track from start of the season, target a few hilly road races / road race series throughout the season, ride the odd tt to gauge fitness and improve threshold ability, then ride the hill climbs towards the end of the season. i think in order to get more results i need to improve my max power, so i might go to the gym fortnightly too. oh, and ride a couple of mtb races too, they're really good fun.

a street hockey ball, not a normal hockey ball? are they different?

lewis and elvis were the masterminds behind the last ones. i was busy so didn't make it along... nick and kelvin should know how they worked??
